Mon Premier Cristal Sensuel

Thus, as if to pay tribute to its prestigious past, the house chose to create, in this year of 2017, three new masterpieces of perfumery. These are gathered within a collection called Mon Premier Cristal. Each of them pays homage to a particular technique for working crystal. Sensuel, the most seductive fragrance of this trio, is the embodiment of the “melted crystal” technique. So, how about taking a closer look at how this translates in terms of its scent?

The retro visual of the Lalique bottle

Sensuel is a perfume that undeniably has everything to delight lovers of fine things. Its formula is made up of noble ingredients and its bottle is absolutely stunning. It pays tribute to the rich heritage of the house of Lalique. Indeed, the house originally distinguished itself through its architectural and sculptural creations in glass and crystal. It was only later that Lalique turned to the world of perfumery, partnering with François Coty to revolutionize the art of bottle design. Thanks to Lalique, perfume bottles became true works of art accessible to the widest audience. And the new bottle of the Sensuel perfume seems to emerge directly from that era. It features a sculpted frieze depicting finely chiseled birds. These evoke the Art Nouveau style to which René Lalique himself was deeply attached. The whole is delivered in a pink shade, a universal symbol of femininity and sensuality. In a constant concern for detail, note that a bow has been tied around the neck of this bottle. Finally, it is topped with a spray pump. It thus beautifully recalls the bottles of days gone by. Far more than a simple fragrance, Sensuel is a true journey through time!

The carnal scent of the Sensuel perfume

Sensuel is a fragrance that clearly plays on its charms and immediately draws us into a world of seduction and femininity. It opens with an extreme freshness. This sense of dynamism emanates from bergamot, an ingredient widely used in the eaux de Cologne of the past. Then, lily of the valley enhances its heart with delicate, airy little bells. It is paired with the more opulent femininity of heliotrope. Finally, although the whole is structured by the elegance of patchouli, Sensuel ends in a carnal, enveloping sillage. Its base notes combine the effluvia of vanilla, tonka bean, amber and white musk. The result is an extremely soft and amber fragrance, at once warm and comforting yet endowed with great elegance. Sensuel is the work of perfumer Karine Dubreuil and magnificently pays tribute to the rich heritage of Lalique.
