The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Lalique and crafted by Alexandra Monet, Barbara Zoebelein, and Benoist Lapouza, Soleil Crystal Edition Extrait de Parfum is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that embodies the warmth of a sunlit day. The composition opens with mandarin orange and cardamom, creating an invigorating and fresh top note. This bright beginning quickly gives way to a heart of pear, jasmine, and caramel, where sweetness and spiciness blend harmoniously. The base notes of milk, sandalwood, praline, and white musk add a rich, powdery warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The mandarin orange and cardamom top notes are bright but fade quickly, so the rich base notes carry more weight over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
