Description

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. Nilang Extrait de Parfum 2011 was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Christiane Plos.
