The story behind the bottle.
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni crafted Sensuel by Lalique in 2017, creating a fragrance that balances the warmth of vanilla and powdery notes with the depth of patchouli and musk. The top note of bergamot introduces a fresh citrusy freshness before giving way to heliotrope and lily-of-the-valley. These floral elements provide a soft, sweet middle layer, leading into a rich base of tonka bean, vanilla, amber, patchouli, and white musk. This composition is neither overly sweet nor too heavy, making it suitable for both women and men.
Apply Sensuel with two sprays to ensure the full range of notes develops on your skin. The powdery and musky base will emerge after about an hour, providing a lasting warmth that's best experienced close to the skin rather than from across a room.
