Le Parfum
Le Parfum by Lalique is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with bay leaf, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into heliotrope and jasmine and dries down to sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
