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?
