Lalique will launch Mon Premier Cristal, with three fragrances for women — Sensuel, Lumière and Tendre — inspired by the René Lalique hirondelle (swallow) vase.
Sensuel (above left) ~ developed by perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Notes for the woody oriental include iris, heliotrope, tobacco and tonka bean.
Lumière (above right) ~ developed by perfumer Alexandra Monet. Notes for the chypre feature tuberose and saffron.
Tendre (above center) ~ developed by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur. A floriental with rice powder, iris, violet and lily.
Lalique Mon Premier Cristal Sensuel, Lumiere and Tendre will be $730 each (with refills at $170); look for them in September.

Sensuel and Tendre sound good! Hope Tendre will be a good cosmetic powder scent.
I doubt I will ever smell any of them — and wouldn’t pay that anyway so makes no difference to me 🙂
Tendre sounds fabulous. But with those prices…. I guess samples and decants will be my options.
WWD: “The price point fills a gap in the brand’s product lineup in order to offer a collector’s item at a more affordable cost than its other crystals.”
$730???
Not gonna be in my collection, no matter how amazing they are.
And I thought Chanel Les Exclusifs were expensive, especially after they became esp’s
I say if Chanel was able to add Extra Sensory Perception to the Chanel Exclusif line, the price jump was worth it 😉
Agreed! None of the edp’s speaks to me at all 🙁
The magic is gone..sadly :/
Well, it’s expensive but for a crystal bottle is affordable if you compare it with the other fragrances from Lalique that comes in crystal bottles. At least they will offer refills, so it’ll allow affordable decanting : )
Sensuel has my name written all over it! A Refill please…I’ll never buy a puff atomizer only perfume.
Lumière sounds wonderful! The bottles are beautiful but yeah, unlikely purchase. Good on them for the almost affordable refills I guess?
