To the fragrance: Lalique Satine

I like almost all Lalique fragrances, but even those that didn't suit me still command respect. So I bought 50 ml without hesitation, untested. The first application was a real shock - the opening reminded me of Givenchy's Ange ou Demon, which didn't work for me because of headaches, even though I like the scent itself. Nothing in the pyramid suggested this. This 'spicy tartness' only lasted an hour, and then flowers with some 'medicinal-camphor' note appeared, followed by sweetish woody accents. This perfume made me want to wear something elegant and go to the theater, but in a small amount, it's perfectly suitable for everyday wear too. The bottle and design, as always, are top-notch, so you can confidently get it even for a collection

To the fragrance: Lalique Soleil

The fragrance is simply amazing, and the bottle - that's a whole other story! I bought it without even looking, just based on descriptions and reviews. I'd had positive impressions of Lalique fragrances before, but I hadn't gotten around to buying one until now. And, of course, the bottle played its part too. The engraving on the cap is just incredible. The designers really outdid themselves! As for the fragrance, it's sweet, but not cloyingly so. It settled on me immediately. I don't even want to break it down into notes - it's so cohesive, the accords flow smoothly into one another, without any harsh transitions. It's a very intelligent, if you will, fragrance that lifts your mood. First, you sense sweet and fresh citruses, and then it becomes warmer, sweetness appears, but there's something tart in it, though not at all sharp. I step into a cloud from one spray, and for an intimate scent, that's more than enough. The smell lasts all day, and from a jacket it accidentally got on, it's still noticeable two days later. I recommend it to everyone

The smell is cute, of course, but it shouldn't be overestimated. The citrus note is somewhat pleasing, but the honey is too intrusive, it just gets right up your nose. Not a masterpiece, just something familiar, nothing new. If on cold skin, then yes, maybe it works, but nothing more. Overall, the joy it brings isn't that great, to be honest 😒

A floral scent that should seemingly bring joy actually leaves a bitter aftertaste. The musky-woody base, though cool, doesn't thrill me. I prefer warm vanilla notes, but despite that, this fragrance still managed to intrigue me. Closer to spring, perhaps I'll wear it with pleasure. Initial tests from a new bottle that hadn't settled yet showed a blurred picture. I've noticed this before: floral-fruity scents sometimes sound unclear at the start, as if from a distance. The declared fruits and citruses get lost, and in their place comes a strict jasmine that smoothly transitions into a fluffy musk. The longevity of the fragrance is impressive, the sillage is also quite noticeable, and it's truly feminine. But it's not a masterpiece, not something with a twist. Just a beautiful floral scent, well-made, but with a cold character. It's comfortable to work in - it doesn't relax you, but rather disciplines you

Honey, flowers, peach? Oh please, don't make me laugh! From the very beginning, this fragrance on me smells so loud and bitter, like a mix of ichthyol ointment with birch tar. It's like it came straight out of a first-aid kit! And only after several hours do floral and fruity notes start to emerge, but the bitterness still doesn't recede. I feel like this perfume is about unrequited love. Maybe I'll give it another chance, in case something changes. But for now, alas, it's not impressive!!!

To the fragrance: Jul et Mad Mon Seul Desir

What an amazing fragrance! It really knows how to surprise: when you move to the heart notes, the scent seems to "build up", and then immediately bursts with fresh notes. It's just stunning! ))

The blotter sample is just awful! Floral-fruity, and so bright, as if someone decided to make a compote out of all the colors of the rainbow. The first notes just scream: "Buy me!" Usually, such fragrances are called "girly," but I'm over 40, though I'm still 18 at heart, so maybe that's why I liked it. But honestly, there's nothing original about it: it reminds me of "Escadas" and the Ferragamo Incanto line from the early 2000s. The same cheerful "compote," but in a good way? Well, I don't know, I don't know. When you sniff the blotter, you involuntarily smile, but that doesn't mean it's good. In the spring breeze, maybe it won't be bad, but I don't expect anything special from it

Somehow half of the review disappeared, and that's strange. I can't figure out what happened. I feel like something's off, but I can't quite grasp if I like it or not
