Lalique Les Compositions Parfumees ~ new perfumes

Posted by Robin on 25 February 2015 10 Comments

Lalique Les Compositions Bronze

Lalique has launched Les Compositions Parfumées, a new collection of five luxury perfumes based on metals: Bronze, Electrum, Zamak, Silver and Gold. Les Compositions Parfumées follows 2014's Noir Premier collection.

René Lalique began his career as a jeweler at a time when intense design and the profusion of precious stones and metals were a standard. His revolutionary creations made him the master of Art Nouveau jewelry. He did not hesitate to make use both of horn, ivory, semiprecious stones, enamel and, of course, glass, which he combined with gold and precious metals.

Harmonious blend of metals melting together, as the perfumery's raw materials come together in beautiful and unique scents. 5 different fragrances based on metal alloys and precious metals.

Bronze (shown) ~ floral; with rose, lily of the valley, violet, tuberose, orange blossom, musk, amber and vanilla.

Electrum ~ floral chypre; with bergamot, freesia, pear, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, amber and musk.

Zamak ~ spicy woody oriental; with bergamot, tangerine, pink pepper, orange blossom, freesia, nutmeg, cedar, leather and vanilla.

Silver ~ chypre leather; with cardamom, lemon, thyme, galbanum, vetiver, leather, patchouli and cistus.

Gold ~ oriental vanilla; with bergamot, lemon, iris, jasmine, lily of the valley, benzoin, patchouli and vanilla.

Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées Bronze, Electrum, Zamak, Silver and Gold, are available now at Neiman Marcus, $250 each for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

      They do. I haven’t even tried the Noir Premier yet though.

    I am already drooling at the description of Silver!(…and I’ll be in NYC in the fall…)
    While I love the bottle, I wish they had continued to use it only for Hommage à l’Homme and its flankers.

      I agree, Silver sounds delicious. FB too rich for my blood, though. Will have to score a sample…

    Bronze sounds like my thing..
    Sort of wished they matched the metal’s colour though. Seeing Bronze in silver makes me a little OCD. :P

    I did smell these at Neiman’s last week. I have a sample of the GOLD. It smells like Shalimar. It really does. Maybe a bit more citrus but you will smell the Shalimar similarity right away.

    I can’t remember what the others smelled like.

    I do remember thinking that they were of nice quality but expensive and nothing groundbreaking. They are all reminiscent of other popular classics … i.e.; Shalimar.

    I will have to give the rest of a line a proper sniff and sample.

    I wonder if any of these will actually have a metallic tinge? Something akin to a bright yet sweet-ish coppery note slightly reminiscent of blood. I like that.

    Not that I would invest in any of them due to pricing, but anyhow.
