Le Parfum

I just popped in here after my first "Full wear" of Lalique Le Parfume to say that Whoever claimes that the performace/longevity is poor for this fragrance, must sadly be suffering from smoking too much Crack! This stuff has excellent performance and sillage. I am VERY impressed! The Powdery, ethereal, sweet Vanilla is absolutely GORGEOUS! That stroke of GENIUS with the Bay Leaf which cuts through the sweet/powdery Vanilla is freakin' awesome and sets this fragrance apart from all these "Cookie-Cutter" Vanilla "Niche" fragrances which costs WAYYY TO MUCH anyways! And although that phrase "Niche quality" gets thrown around way too much, I find it very fitting with Lalique Le Parfume, this is very unique and high quality. I liked it before when spraying it on tester strip and my wrist to sniff on it, but as a full wear?? INTOXICATING! Im now at work and have gotten compliments upto 5 hours after application (4 sprays mind you). Superb fragrance which hits way above its pricepoint! 10 outta 10 NO DOUBT! Look, if ya dont own this and are worried about the bay-leaf being off putting, or you do own it, but havent worn it bc of the bay-leaf, just wear this and give it a shot! You may just fall in love with it like myself and others Ive read reviews about who were initially put off by the "Wierd bay-leaf note", but now love this fragrance. Its about $30! And if ya want something unique for winter.. her ya go!! Oh and btw, Im a dude and consider this quite a unisex Vanilla frag! Just go for it

Okay, I know that we all have different noses, with different takes... But the review that says something along the lines of vanilla pudding stuffed into a turkey seasoned with bay leaf? I'm sorry???? Lol I got NONE of that! The bay leaf initially creates a very camphor-like essence to the perfume without the astringency of camphor. It's actually really pretty and refreshing. I got this with Mercedes-Benz Club Black for Christmas from my boyfriend and I LOVE them together. I don't get much of the vanilla/tonka from Lalique as the bay leaf/patchouli/sandalwood are pretty prominent, that's why I layer with Club Black to bring out a ambery/vanilla to the scent bubble. Either way, Lalique is beautiful in a upscale new-age shop, artisan bath/lotion products way. I like to spray on my clothes the day before, and a spray or two on my skin or even in my hair (I know it's not the best but whatever lol I don't notice any damage and I've been doing it for years, but that's me and I don't recommend you do it. Do as I say not as I do! Lol). It leaves a beautiful, antiquey (not vintage) scent trail. Very aromatic, and it's very lasting and powerful. Spray cautiously as I can imagine the bay leaf/patchouli/sandalwood being a little strong for some people at first. If you're on the fence, I would get it... It's a wonderful price for such a beautifully crafted perfume. I'm really glad to have it in my collection as it adds a depth to my collection I've been looking for!

Wow! Blown away by this complex,beautiful and affordable perfume. For anyone who isn’t into smelling like a dessert but loves a dry vanilla with depth…this is the scent! I have not smelled Eau Duelle EDT but I think this may be in a similar vein. The bay leaf pairing with the bright bergamot and pop of the pink pepper lifts this scent up. It’s powdery (for me a powder lover) but not in a “baby powder” way. The jasmine is a background player and l mostly pick up the tonka and woody base notes in this perfume. Patchouli is not too prevalent if you don’t enjoy it (I do but don’t find it strong here). If you look at the build and like the listed notes …you WILL enjoy this. Dry, warm, woody, balanced vanilla perfume with a sparkling and aromatic opening. It is a steal for the price.

I am always on a hunt for an unusual vanilla perfume, and I am sick of sweet gourmands, or just mega feminine vanillas, as most of the time I am in the mood for something unique and/or unisex. After I read the reviews below I blind bought Lalique as I was intrigued to try that fresh vanilla, especially with bay too, as I do not think I have any perfumes with bay note in my collection. It arrived today. I am not disappointed! It’s quite interesting and fresh, there is something very nostalgic about it, although I find most of Ropion’s creations nostalgic in romantic kind of way. This is no exception and I can’t wait for it to macerate, as I think it will be even better then. Also will try layering it with Nissaba’s Grande Ile, as I think the spices will work well together.

When I read "bay leaf" followed by "pink pepper" I thought - uh oh, what's for dinner tonight? But turns out my spice concerns were misplaced because the addition of these opening notes to the overall composition makes for an utterly enchanting and sophisticated scent. I get a lot of vanilla in this but not before the expert addition of heliotrope, almond and jasmine make an appearance, providing an almost gourmand accord. However, this scent sweeps right past any food associations and instead stands on its own as a grown up and beautifully blended perfume. I have more than one by Lalique and this stands far out in front. Recommend.
