Description
Lalique is launching a successor to the fragrance Amethyst from 2007, inspired by the gemstone amethyst, and it will be introduced in July 2014. The name of the fragrance is Lalique Amethyst Eclat and it arrives in the same flacon form as Amethyst, embellished with peony flowers, blackberry and raspberry as decorations on the body of the bottle. The color of the flacon is also purple like previous editions, in somewhat lighter shades, iridescent from the darkest to the lightest shades. The only difference is in the smallest flacon, 30 ml, which, instead of silver illustration on the flacon has a relief motif in the same style.
New fragrance Lalique Amethys Eclat opens with juicy and tart resins of black currant combined with raspberry and nashi pears. The heart of the composition blooms with peony, rose and magnolia, accompanied with warm and elegant notes of Oxalis violace, blackberry and sensual musk in the base. According to cosmeticbussines the accent in the new edition lies on intense notes of peony above fruity notes with musk in a trail.
Perfume Lalique Amethyst Eclat can be obtained as 30, 50 as 100 ml.
The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

I saw this perfume on sale on Perfumes.com at a great price so I took a chance blind buying it. I was pleasantly surprised at the opening with juicy fruits that don’t smell too sweet on me with distinct raspberry, black currant, and pears I really enjoy!
As it dries down on my skin the scent changes to a new doll smell without plastic aspect. There is a tiny hint of florals but nothing I can identify or notice for long.
No musk at end but the blackberry I smell and like. I’m glad I bought it and will wear it. I live in the desert with extreme heat over 120 degrees in August right now so longevity of any perfumes isn’t much. Projection is 6 feet leaving a trail of berries mainly.
I bought the original Amethyst perfume at the same time and just tested it. They do not smell the same on my skin at all. I like both and recommend them if you like fruity scents.

Nothing special, comparing with original. Simple and light fruity floral.

Perfect but doesn’t last long enough on my skin.

I can’t get it. Each and every single man’s lalique is sort of epic on way or another. But IMHO they have only one worthy woman’s scent, which is Le Parfum…
I wouldn’t dare call the rest of woman’s lineup weak, but they lack of that secret something.
Eclat is sort of politically correct. Does not veer off one, used a lot, path. Which is a shame, because we all know they can do better.
Dont get me wrong, smell is fine, but although there are ots of fruits, I wouldn’t recomment it to anyone below 30.
Tagsuedge – :
Not similar to the original, and not magical like the original. I still like it, but it’s kind of just an average musky floral. To me, the musk is very strong in this. Original Amethyst really smelled like blackberries and rose bushes, this one not so much. It’s a fine, inoffensive scent, but I will never be in love with it. Definitely do not think it resembles original Amethyst or Feerie as others have picked.

Still feel this has a musky, soapy, old lady perfume vibe to it, but I tried it again and I am noticing more of the berry notes. Not horrifying. This could be a sexy smelling, night-out perfume. That’s what my husband thought, too. I lowered my sillage/longevity rating a bit this time around, it now seems more ‘arm’s length’ for me and faded after about 2 hours.

Éclat n’a pas cette éclat premier de la mure
Comme dans le premier parfum
Si on parle de similitude je dirais
Que oui sur ce côté fruitee
Mais les deux se distingue d’une merveilleuse façon
Éclat a la douceur d’être unique à lui et non
Semblable
Parfum d’une grande féminité 🙂

I miss the stronger blackcurrant note of the original Amethyst, but I find this one, Éclat, is slightly less soapy.
As a raspberry/pear fruity floral, it’s a nice fragrance, not excessively sweet, not cheap smelling and has a mild yet determined staying power. Very pleasant, non offensive modern offering.
Good price in the UK and a nice bottle too.

I prefer the original Amethyst, which I really love.
This one is sweeter and the black currant note is not as strong as in the original. I sense more raspberry and sweet pear in it.
It’s not bad, but this isn’t making it special in my opinion.
I liked how in original, black currant note smelled exactly like ripe black currants.
This perfume smells more like fruit syrup with sweetener and scent additives.
I think it’s nice though, but that’s it.

I like this one better than original amethyst.it’s younger,funnier,easier to wear and let’s say less complicated. actually they barely have similarities. the berry scent is completely different in these two bottles.
Eclat smells exactly like fruity gum or maybe berry salad! pear is there to add some sweetness.
I just wish it would last longer.after half an hour it’s almost gone from my skin. I can still smell it on paper,but it hardly has any sillage.

I prefer my old good Amethyst, the pear here makes it sweeter and that’s why it loses its mysterious character and starts reminding other scents. It is still a nice scent but not something I would rebuy.
Smiseeinits – :
Sweet berry cheerful craziness! Surely it is not a balanced scent, but still it is lovely! It reminds me the air in the middle of a forest where wild berries grow. Some flowers can be distinguished too, but it is mostly yummy fruity scent, very youthful and charming.
Update: Comparing it to the first Amethyst, it is much sweeter, possibly due to pear. Suitable for spring, summer, fall and mild winter.
Update2: In short – mysterious, feminine, berry rose paradise.

Amethyst Éclat smells a little like Amethyst, but with a sweet fruity note which I prefer. 🙂 With Amethyst, I would feel like I’m wearing air freshener. Amethyst Éclat lasting power is good, but Amethyst lasted longer.

I really need to know where this is being sold…the notes are so up my alley 🙂
