Lalique White Eau de Toilette

Product Information

The bergamot with the tamarind appear form the first moment of the opening blast on, and make for a slightly unusual opening, especially when the violet as well as the lemon arrive a bit later too - of the latter two I am getting mainly the aroma of the leaves. A bright and friendly opening. Cardamom and the sensual spice of nutmeg (often used as an aphrodisiac; but to be enjoyed with caution - there is danger of poisoning!) prepare the ground for a generous dose of white pepper. Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will

A very tangy, very lively opening is caused by tamarind and lemon leaf; the acid I feared at first is cleverly neutralized by the addition of bergamot Without this bergamot I would probably have to sneeze immediately; my trunk is so sensitive. The bottle is powerful on the 125ml version. Large, heavy with silver lid. The colour or the name applies to this fragrance. It is bright, clean and simply very well maintained. I often like to wear such typical white fragrances in everyday life. You transfer a maintained appearance. Also the twin Galloway is white, which by the way came out 5 years after this Lalique White.The base with a generic woodsiness - only here and then do I get a bit of an ambery cedar - and a spill of white musks is a bit of a turn to well-trodden routine finishes. Very clear and very clean it begins, the lemon leaf with a tendency to lemon balm dominates and remains. The association of fresh laundry hovers above everything without becoming obtrusive. The light notes of pepper and cedar wood also prevent the fragrance from becoming too sweet and from having a certain balance. After I tested "Encre Noire", one of the interesting men's fragrances of Lalique, extensively and also commented here, I was naturally also curious about the counterpart "White".

How the spice of the cedar fits into this composition, I asked myself while reading the fragrance pyramid. I was kind of hoping for the male equivalent of "Perles de Lalique", simply because of the pepper. The white pepper is already quite blatant and some caution is required. After a few minutes he disappears and then nothing happens. After about 10 minutes I notice a very pleasantly light and woody sweetness which resembles a little bit the sweetness in "Perles". I always like to spray something on my clothes, as I did yesterday. There the pepper is quite persistent, the sweetness I find rather on the skin. After about 4 hours she was almost gone, the sweetness..... and I had to press my nose on my skin to even notice it. Very, very sad, because this gentle note is exactly my taste. Also a basic is for me the Laique White. It doesn't cost much, smells solid, is not overly exciting and lasts adequately long. Just as long as a normal white shirt stays in the household. But the Lalique is also a minimalist in terms of its aura. We smell pepper (fortunately only light and soft), the lemon is added to it in a sniffable way and cedar and musk are a bit harsh. A fragrance that smells as pure and bright as a white T-shirt. At least as long as you don't wash it with dark colours. It has a, I think, slightly milky freshness. Just like a peppery lemon milkshake. Its straightforwardness is not at all cheap or too simple, it is pleasing and gives the impression to be valuable. For me it is impossible to imagine the summer without it. Also at home it is one of my favourite scents of the day. Especially after work and showering it is ingenious. It never annoys, does not sting, does not look clumsy, has no synthetics and is therefore ideal for home or the office. A nouveau riche 16-year-old gets into the limo in front of the suburban mansion and so does not know what his family has actually done to deserve this house. In any case, he hasn't accomplished anything yet.The deeper meaning behind it remains hidden to me, but the feel is grippy by the slightly rough surface.
