The house
Lalique was established as a fragrance house in 1992 in Wingen-sur-Moder (France), building on the legacy of the crystal and art glass manufacturer founded by Rene Lalique in 1888. The perfume division leveraged the Lalique brand's associations with decorative arts, craftsmanship and naturalistic motifs to create a range of fragrances sold in distinctive crystal flacons.
The Lalique fragrance catalogue covers a broad range from commercial flankers to more considered compositions. Encre Noire (2006), composed by Nathalie Lorson, became a widely recognized example of dark woody perfumery, built on a structure of vetiver and cypress that gave it a specific earthy, smoky character appreciated by enthusiasts of quieter, austere compositions.
On Osmetheca, Lalique is represented by one fragrance: Encre Noire (2006), composed by Nathalie Lorson, a woody aromatic vetiver that became a reference in the category of dark, understated masculines.
