The daily lemming

Posted by on 11 Comments

In case you didn't love the "regular" crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique for 2020, here's another chance to drop a tidy sum on the fragrance: a new Hirondelles bottle in blue, for the 100th anniversary of Réné Lalique’s villa in Wingen-sur-Mer in France. "Four glassmakers were needed to create the body of the 20ml flacon, from molten crystal, using the soufflé technique. Each flacon is topped with the brand’s signature ‘tiara stopper’ first created in 1913, shaped by five master glassmakers using the pressé technique. They are then cut, satin-finished and polished by hand." €2,400. (via luxepackaginginsight)

From Lalique, the 2020 crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique, Orchidée. “It is the pure, round shape often chosen by René Lalique to showcase the floral décors of his perfume bottles that the House has elected for this new offering. Against a transparent crystal background that reveals the tender pink shade of the fragrance, graceful orchid branches bloom. As satiny as living flowers, the petals have gleaming polished reliefs to underline their design. The elegant flacon is crowned with a stopper in the shape of an orchid petal, its exceptionally delicate veins a demonstration of the outstanding skills of Lalique’s master-glassmakers.” 250 ml Parfum, $1800.

Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Lalique, Estee Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent and Sisley.

From Lalique, the 2019 crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique, Naïade. “Draped in a veil that reveals her voluptuous figure, adorned with a delicate motif of scales… Is she a woman, a goddess, a mermaid? Reinvented by the house of Lalique, this contemporary embodiment of the eternal feminine, sensuous yet stately, breathes life into crystal. An exceptionally fine-detailed female statuette, the spectacular stopper of the 2019 Limited Edition is a true feat of glassmaking technique.” 100 ml Parfum, $1800…
