Lalique Le Parfum


While on a trip to the Caymans, I came across this elegant French perfume. It has a warm, vanilla, aroma that I just love! Very comforting, smooth, and long lasting, while not overpowering to the wearer. Great for fall and winter!

Top notes are west Indian bay, bergamot and pink pepper; middle notes are jasmine and heliotrope; base notes are sandalwood, Tonka bean, patchouli and vanilla.

Once back in the state I searched for this perfume online. You can find some great prices here at amazon.com for the 3.3 oz bottle and here at fragrancenet.com for a small sample bottle.
