A boozy chocolate.
The vanilla, mild coffee, and balsamic nutmeg are creating that boozy chocolate factor.
This is identical to “Pirates’ Grand Reserve” by Atkinsons, and i believe Atkinsons got inspired by this one here. Captivating & impressive.

Update
Side by side test with its similar scents
Carner Barcelona Tardes
Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Eau de Parfum
Guerlain L’Homme Ideal
And I added Frapin 1270
There’s a common vibe in all of them but but they are different enough to own all or some of them. Or Intemporel somehow feels like a flanker of Tardes and Ideal. It’s different smell with structural similarities. The big difference is its great longevity and its sparkling spiceness. It’s full of colors, vivid, bright and cozy, warm and totally unisex.

Just to feel the vibe from this Lalique, some scents in the same team.
Guerlain L’Homme Ideal
Carner Barcelona Tardes
Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Eau de Parfum
Boucheron Jaipur Homme
Bond No 9 New Haarlem
The Gate Fragrances Paris Memories
Frapin 1270
Lalique Or Inteporel after 4-5 hours comes close to Guerlain Ideal edt and Carner Tardes. I own the Ideal so the next days I’ll do some full wearings with this Lalique to determine if it is redundant to own both of them. Moreover I’ll do a test side by side with Tardes which is also very close with Or Intemporel.

Love at first sniff. I must try it again.
This is my favourite and the best IMO from the top line of Lalique. It reminds me christmass. Totally unisex, cozy, warm and uplifting, spicy sweet, but not overly sweet. Suitable for cool weather, fall, winter and cool spring days, day and night.
This is not a new smell for me. It reminds me various warm spicy scents but nothing in particular. The only scent which is slightly close to it is Dolce&Gabbana Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme because of the tobacco note but they are NOT similar scents. They develop differently and they smell differently.
After some time it feels semi-gourmand but never turns into pure gourmand. Dominant notes are tobacco (omg beautiful), coffee, semi-sweet vanilla, tolu balsam, nutmeg. There is also mild patchouli, mild cardamom and black pepper. Violet (or something like violet, I don’t get clear violet note but something floral) is faint and bergamot is very mild at the background. Overall it is very well blended, safe and easy wearable but it does not smell unique. If I couldn’t see the bottle I’d say it may be a top offering from Guerlain or Dior house. Quality is obvious. A casual warm spicy scent for cold weather with noce performance.
Sillage is moderate. Projection is heavy for the first minutes then it turns moderate but most of its life is soft. Longevity is long lasting.
The quality of the bottle and the golden die is very average for its pruce point. It retails here for 435 usd per 100 ml.
Edit
There is cinnamon, rum, cherry and maybe almonds.

Today I bought it. First impressions of the presentation are very nice at least when you see it from a distance. There’s a hard black glossy plastic case (like Kilian) and a hard paper box for the bottle. The quality of the materials especially from the bottle is very average though.. totally unaxceptable for its price range. The scent is neautiful so no complains here. They should improve the presentation and the bottle though..

We were three people testing it out and we all got nauseous. I tried it another day and felt the same. Have no clue what ingredient that caused this, but it was impossible to wear.
aligtr – :
a boozy one , perfect for cold nights in winter .
The first notes are some of a very spicy tobacco ( something like “Zino” Davidoff), it shines at this moment there , but very fast it is tinted with the darker notes of coffee, and thoses of a shy black chocolate without any impressions of sugar.
The patchouli is there, in ambush, to give the earthy side of Zino ( but Zino is less boozy, much more patchouli & in your face).
If you like the “ambers”, warm perfumes , patchoulis not too earthy, the cozy ones with a slice of vanilla , you will probably like it .
It’s in the same vein as “Costume National Homme” , “Bentley for Men Intense” to give an idea on the overall, but much less punchy , there ‘s a note of vanilla that makes it sweeter, lighter.

It’s bugging me what this reminds me of!
Valentino Oud? The signature tobacco note used by Amouage?
Either way, I’m loving it!
I think this and the Fleur Universelle are the best of this range.

What a beautiful monster this is, if only it’s bite matched it’s bark.
Begins very promising and heady, with a resinous boozy brick wall, taunting you and promising to keep you captive. #notmygrayson
At first sniff I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this would be a full bottle purchase. At an hour in, I knew it wouldn’t be. The scent fades to a much more generic shrug then a posturing roar and the projection drops to a candle flicker from a spotlight.
Utter. Disappointment.
At Tom Ford prices for this bottle, I will gladly acquire another bottle of Tobacco Oud and forget this ever existed. What a shame.
Scent: 8/10 until 1-2 hour mark, then 5/10
Projection: 7/10 for an hour at best (more like 30 minutes), then a rapid decline to 3/10
Sillage: 5/10, after less then an hour, virtually none.
Longevity: lasts a good 4-6 hours on skin and clothes but only at point blank range.
Would i buy a full bottle? No.

Great opening…beautiful, gorgeous and spicy opening..it is just supper amazing. oh man, never ever experienced such a beautiful and mind blowing opening…you find your self sitting in front of Royal Indian kitchen whiffing the elegant tones of vintage but superior spices with some modern and sparkling freshness, all ahead of some dark back ground. Cardamom seems the leader of the voyage but unfortunately this hypnotic journey ends up very soon into dark and bit boozy dry down. Vanilla tries to maintain the journey shining in combination of Coffey, without which the dry down would have been much similar to the dry down of Black Afgano imo. Any how nothing very special in dry down. Opening earns 20/10 but remains only for few minutes (very unfortunate). longevity is good and silage is moderate. I got full bottle from Paris Gallery in Makkah (SA) but the finish of golden surface is very bad. (May it be fake???)…

I don’t know… I loved old laliques like Ancre Noir and la parfum, this new edition is ok but I won’t be buying any I think…

Finally managed an elusive visit (not exclusive!) to the pretty and lacquered Boutique in central London.
This was surprisingly the only bottle from the exclusive line on display – but maybe not so surprisingly.
I had just sampled and totally annihilated the much vaunted Bullion by Byredo in a previous review so was really fearing for my efforts on this one.
A 1st nervy spray yielded – goodness! Unlike the awful Bullion, this started off just how I like them; sweet, smooth and slightly spicy.
I’m not sure about coffee but it appeared to be a sweet liqueur of slightly syrupy vanilla, a touch of seasonal nutmeg and something between cocoa and treacle.
Delightful!
The Quality was unprecedented and the blend was pure, yet bold but not choking, or powdery. This alone makes it worth it’s £200 pricing for a 100ml.
Not to mention how uniquely beautiful the bottle is. 0 marks for that though; the money is in the juice and now I am getting hints of wood and what maybe coffee, or just more cocoa. More nice stuff basically.
The scent is unbelievably safe and wearable. I was overjoyed to find indeed no trace of violets or orange or other boring Niche nasties in here.
Vanillic amber and definite cocoa follow in the drydown.
So, it has impressed for sure, and for some it will sure be bottleworthy.
Just falls short due to a lack of something,, maybe let me say 4th dimensional. Out of orbit wonderful, maybe some special woody-musk drydown. Plus the lack of the stronger hit of coffee – this was the main real let down for me.
I would have given this a straight 10 if it had at least the vibe of Montale’s Intense Cafe in part but sadly the coffee is a hard-sell here, it’s either really good at playing invisible or just not there at all. Disappointing!
They should have swapped the places of the cardamom and coffee in the note pyramid.
I would have loved to see some of the awe-inspiring blonde tobacco you can find in SDV. Also, the redcurrant note from that Masterpiece is missing here, as are any hints of red fruits.
It’s also more upfront, even though you are getting more. But unlike SDV, you do get a proper cap!
If you love these after sampling and have the crazy money, get both!
For now, it has to be SDV for me sadly. But on it running out, I’ll have my eye on this.
My rating: 8/10

It seems the floral note listed here is not ‘violet’ but either Immortelle or as their website states; ‘everlasting flower’.
Since violet is not on these note lists, I am very interested by the rich oriental notes here.
I hope to give a report soon.
