caphi – :
figs, lime, and jasmines cinnamon powder.
This whidds between bitter and sour. Huge doses of lime, jsamines, and tiny vetiver & cedar. Myrrh joins in after few minutes in (3 mins) while the figs, cinnamon powder, tonka, and vanilla are trying to lightens and sweetens the bitterness and the sourness but just can’t as it becomes sharp lime, myrrh, & jasmines 10 minutes in.
It has quality but the blend is bit tough & sharp. Maybe more time it requires for some test before making a final point.

Their new bottles look better but the quality of the materials is the same, average.
This is a nice jasmine/labdanum/cedar/cinnamon scent suitable for spring/summer, daytime. Very light & classy fragrance, well blended and super smooth, leaning to feminine scents. Sillage/prijection are moderate. After 1 hour the projection becomes soft.Longevity is moderate.
I like it very much but it would fit perfectly on a woman.
copper – :
Elegant fresh bergamot and quiet fig provide a fresh, transparent, somehow quenching opening. The fig is dry (not dried). It has a watery, delicate feel to it. A freshly cut fig that is not at all sweet, which makes for a characterful opening that lasts around 10mins.
Then, slowly appears a super delicate jasmine and rose. I’m quite surprised. It leans pink, but not on powdery. The rose does have a little sweetness. Cinnamon is like a mere dusting that hovers throughout. Again, delicately presented, it’s warm, but only just, and this is needed because cedar wood begins to make a strong presence from early on. It gives a serious vibe to the whole thing, stopping the pink rose from becoming overly patronising. It’s not super dry, but dry enough to counteract the rose and jasmine. It seems to carry that watery presence that we found in the opening fig note. Reminds me of the cedar note in OJ’s Ambre Royal, only slightly less dense and more fluid. High praise.
Jasmine grows and begins to take a greater presence than the rose. Accompanied by the cedar it’s beautifully fresh. Jasmine/cedar and rose/patchouli interplay quite lovely and I get the impression that the composition transitions in and out between clean whites and light pink roses back and forth. Labdanum brings something earthy into the background, it’s a lovely addition that adds something more organic to the rather transcendental aesthetic overall. This is not at all bombastic jasmine, patchouli, and spices as the notes might suggest. It is completely ‘open’ and clear. The sparkling ‘clean feel’ of the cedar is such a winner. It pulls the whole much closer to unisex than I had initially expected and works beautifully later on with the judicious use of myrrh/benzoin.
Not sure why the community have voted patchouli so highly in this one. The overall aesthetic is Jasmine/cedar with patchouli lending a little thickness here and there, never up front. Furthermore, rose takes a much more prominent place in this composition (and is listed on Lalique’s website), yet isn’t listed in the notes above.
Top quality and highly unexpected. I like that.
