I recieved this perfume as a recent birthday present from my sweetie... Him knowing that I'm an avid perfume collector and me wanting to hug the beautiful crystal bottle that was inspired by an original Lalique 1920s Art Deco design. I picked this fragrance mainly because of the package, however I found that the fragrance is subtle and I liked the bergamot and patchouli undertones it left on my skin. It helped that the packaging was attractive, and as simple as it looks PERLES DE LALIQUE by Lalique is as the packaging sugesstes, a very delicate sophisticated perfume. With hints of bergamot, Bulgarian rose, iris, Bourbon pepper, Indonesian patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, cashmeran, it's a sublte statement when you are in one of those mysterious moods.... I've read some reviews pertaining to this particular perfume, and just a cautionary warning to those who are interested in trying out this fragrance, it would be wise to get a sample from Sephora on this one and wear it for the day to asses it's finish. Another bottle is displayed at sephora for a more reasonable price ($110.00 cnd), and is the same fragrance.
