Lalique Soleil

Like the sunshine streaming through your window, Soleil immediately puts a smile on your face. The cool, intriguing scent of cardamom is softened by mandarin and mouth-watering pear granita while the heart is a delicious swirl of modern gourmand notes – bitter almonds, pink praline and an addictively creamy café latte accord. But don’t worry if you’re not keen on sweet scents, this is the opposite of cloying, having light-filled jasmine skilfully woven through the whole scent. A scent that smells like radiance personified, in a bottle shaped like the rays of the sun (we guarantee you’ll be staring at it if you purchase a full size. We adore ours!) this is one to wear when you need a hit of happiness that lasts.

The brand’s founder, crystal artisan René Lalique, was one of the first people to mix precious gemstones with glass in his objet d’art for greater artistic freedom and innovative results. Revolutionising the fragrance world with his designs, his love of beauty, artistry and maverick spirit lives on in the stunning modern evocations of Lalique’s soul to this day in all that they do. We feel Lalique’s mastery of capturing light is particularly reflected in Soleil – a wearable ray of sunshine whenever you need it most.
