Nilang Extrait de Parfum 2011 Lalique

For the Extrait de Parfum, Lalique has created a new flacon: round, sensual, tactile, a crystal sphere nobly presenting two delicate, blossoming lotus flowers. Intertwined, petal against petal, the two flowers present themselves in a bouquet, their stems merging together at the discovery of the delicious nectar. For the flacon, made by four craftsmen, the crystal is mouth blown. Then the stopper is made using the traditional technique of pressing, requiring five master glass makers to work together. The two elements are shaped and finely polished. The pistils of the blossoming flowers are decorated with gold. The seals of the stopper and flacon, signed and numbered by hand, are delicately made using emery before the stopper and flacon are fitted together. Finished with a traditional ribbon and seal, and decorated with a golden thread, this infinitely feminine flacon is placed in its precious case. In this Crystal Flacon, the Extrait – the heart note – glorifies a bouquet of white flowers and develops into a heady and voluptuous tuberose enlivened by a sweet rose. The dry down note adds creamy sandalwood to the vanilla and patchouli.
