The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Lalique, Perles De Lalique is a chypre floral composition that won the Marie Claire best-perfume award in 2007. Crafted by Nathalie Lorson, this fragrance features an unusually high concentration of Iso E Super, giving it a distinctive dry and quiet character with a patchouli-woody base. The scent opens with a vibrant rose, which gives way to the warmth of pepper and iris before settling into powdery notes that add depth and complexity. This thoughtful composition is often cited as a more well-composed example of the contemporary chypre trend compared to many later entries in that category.
Apply Perles De Lalique to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The Iso E Super molecule ensures that the dry, patchouli-woody base notes remain prominent throughout the day, making it ideal for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket.
