Lalique Parfums has unveiled its new summer scent, White, aimed at the male marketplace. The fragrance, designed by top perfumer Christine Nagel, is said to symbolise light, transparency and translucence.
As well as the traditional 75ml eau de toilette bottle, White is also available in perfume extract form in a limited edition crystal flacon designed by premium glass masters Meilleurs Ouvriers de France.
Speaking at the launch of the scent, haute parfumeur, Roja Dove, said that White is a unique scent in a crowded men’s marketplace. “Lalique as a company have made some of the world’s most directional scents over the years and this is no exception. The skill in our profession is to balance ingredients and Christine Nagel has managed to achieve this perfectly so that each separate component is shown off to its full advantage. Here we have a top note of bergamot with a heart of violet, drying down to a base of spicy cardamom and nutmeg to give a fresh citrus scent with warm undertones.”
Lalique also took the opportunity to showcase their 2009 crystal limited edition flacons which will be launching in October. For women they presented “Aphrodite”, containing the scent Lalique de Lalique and for men “ Athlet” containing the scent Le Lion.
