Description
The new collection by Lalique was named LALIQUE NOIR PREMIER. It encompasses 6 fragrances with timeless character, creating the bridge between past and presence. Their names are: Elegance Animale, Fleur Universelle, Fruits du Mouvement, Rose Royale, Sculpteur d`Epices and Terres Aromatiques. Next to the name, each fragrance features a year crucial for Lalique history.
Terres Aromatiques 1905 is the fragrance which marks the year when Francois Coty and Rene Lalique met. This acquaintance resulted in endlessly amazing creations of perfume flacons and in the beginning of the modern perfume industry. Composition of this perfume respects the influences on Coty creations from Corsica and Provence, and provides a woody-aromatic fragrance with expressive flavors of thyme. The composition opens with cardamom, lemon and pineapple, the heart hides thyme, lavender and freesia, closing with a warm and elegant trail of tonka, vetiver and molecule orcanox.
Terres Aromatiques was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Julie Masse.

Beautiful!
Makes me think of a Terre d’Hermes on the sweet and smooth side with a hint Vetiver Extarordinaire (F.Malle).
Very classy and versatile. Niche quality. Unfortunately projection is low, and becomes a skin scent after 2 hours…
You can find it around $100 at online discounters, but given its low performance, I would tend to say that you can find much better around for that price.
Anytime except winter, 30+

Pineapples thyme.
This one whiffs between many notes, pineapples & thyme from one side, then the tonka lavander from another side, then comes the cardamom sour vetiver from a third side. I do believe that i sense some patchouli, geranium, and cedar.
This one is a bit on the earthy side which was the era of “Habanita” by Molinard kind of fragrance but this one is a bit on the commonly masculine labelled kind of blends. Nice tho.
MichaelSB – :
Terres Aromatiques is a rare fragrance, of those niche fragrances that maintain a popular appeal and yet still maintains a beautiful and strange dialectic between the notes used from side to side and from top to bottom.
Terres Aromatiques is an aromatic fougere composed of crisp juicy fruit, dry herbal notes, and a more tame woody vetiver in the base which is echoed from their iconic Encre Noire paired with ambroxan which takes the fragrance to more crowd centric heights.
The fruit in the opening upon first brush almost feel like a tropical take on an eau de cologne – bright lemon is tamed down by a heavier pineapple note, both of which have heavier herbal notes beneath them further selling the point. After just a moment the thyme really takes center stage with the camphor from the lavandin boosting its aromatic fougere feel. This Mediterranean feeling is made modern and popular through a mixture of the cardomom, tonka bean and the heavy ambroxan note here which never becomes cloyingly sweet nor does it remind one of Dior’s infamous concoction.
Ultimately, due to the synthetic notes and the name-dropping of traditional cologne/fougere structures, this fragrance feels firmly traditionally ‘perfume’-y, although it has many new twists and turns that make it unique enough to keep you coming back.
During fall, this fragrance is an obvious pick for anyone looking to impress, and draw an audience in.
This is a perfect, snugly and yet elegant homerun for me.
9/10

Of the three Noir Premier i have Terre Aromatique is the one i like the least and use the most. Rose Royale and Elegance Animale possess a sense of gravity unfitting for common doings. Terre on the other hand I spray unceremoniously.
The pineapple note gives Terre’s aromatic structure a sunny fruity radiance. The composition is a quiet and quality ode to thyme. Really nice and easy to wear.

Lalique Terres Aromatiques 1905 edp
Overall it is a nice but not new smell for me. The note pyramide looks youthful but the scent doesn’t. It would be nicer on older people, middle aged people to be more specific. Somehow it reminds me vividly the Chanel house. If I couldn’t see the bottle I’d say that it’s a high end scent from Chanel. Btw the bottle looks wonderful on shelf but when you hold it.. the feeling and the materials are average IMO.
I can’t comment on longevity because I washed my hand two hours later from the application. This liquid makes my skin itchy so I guess it’s something that reacts nasty. Btw it’s the first time that happens to me. And I’ve tried scents as cheap as 2usd chinese stuff and nothing happened. Anyway, it smells nice and chanelish. One thing I noticed is its stages of development. Until the 2 hour mark it changed 4 times. So it is quite complex scent but the vibe is quite generic. If you have experience with Chanel fragranes, both masculine and femine, you can imagine the vibe from this Lalique.
The versatility is great. All year round use except extreme low/high temperatures. Nice for daytime and night.
The sillage is moderate. The projection is average-moderate. After about 40-50 minutes it stays close to the skin. Two hours after the application is a nice skin scent. It retails here 438 usd per 100 ml.

For me, this is the best composition from Noir Premiere collection. Very well blended and natural.
FidoDido – :
Aromatic Thyme with pineapple sweetening up the bitterness. Very natural smelling and its a clever composition with good longevity and quality but not in love with it as something I’m dying to wear. Glad I just bought the decant and not the full bottle. 7.5 / 10.
Update: Wore this a few more times and I still feel the same. Ultimately, how you feel about Thyme as the leading note is the how you’ll feel about this perfume.

Aromatic,sweet
Beautiful product of lalique..
On the top note it reminds intoxicated of by Kilian.(cardamon).
I have bought it and I think the scent is so great.
it starts with a herbal(cardamon) scent,then on base note it’s different.
new scent..Very reach, unique combination of Thyme and Pineapple, Tonka Bean and lavender,but isn’t sine-tic.great
It is a unisex perfume.
I suggest it for males.(better)
This product is appropriate for cold weather.
I suppose it is a night perfume.
The longevity is very well.
The projection is medium.
It’s Very wearable scent.

Damn! I got a sample box-set this morning and this was inside. I adore Encre Noire, so was keen to try more, and always thought the notes in Terre Aromatique sounded intriguing. So, I’m sitting here sniffing the bank of my hand like its been surgically attached(!) – I smell a sense of Terre de Hermes…..but this stuff is waaaaaaaaay more refined (a little sweeter too). I’ve never spent over £100 on fragrances – this may change that, its THAT good.
egytis – :
Lalique Terre is amazing perfume from the line of Lalique premium collection.
I would consider this for summers or for fresh day wear.
It holds good lasting i.e 8-9 hours with decent projection (Not screaming )
The smell is very nice blend of pineapple and spicy notes to my skin.
A crowd pleaser though.
Win Win !!

This garrigue-scented fragrance celebrates thyme as one of the the most iconic aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean. Thyme’s herbaceous and peppery qualities are a perfect foil for this highly aromatic fragrance. Lavandin’s sharply green and camphorous scent boosts the herbaceous facets of the thyme, together creating a Provençal accord. A juicy and sweet pineapple note is brightened with lemon, adding further vibrance to the sun-drenched tonality of the aforementioned herbal notes. The effect is akin to fragrant, verdant herbs suffusing the air with their lush scent in the summer sun’s baking heat. Green cardamom offers a contrasting cool spiciness while freesia blends softly with its orange-blossom facets in the heart. A woody base concludes the composition, boosted by potent vetyver and the deep aroma of tonka bean, combining with a unique synthetic ambergris-like note called “orcanox”.
Overall, ‘Terres Aromatiques’ is a captivating and heartwarming scent. I have always had a love for the odor of thyme, happily running my hands over its tiny leaves in order to attach its charming scent to my fingertips. The lemon and pineapple opening top notes which is later blended with thyme in the heart, reminded me of a citrus sorbet garnished with the herb’s delicate leaves. I feel this fragrance can easily be worn year round, but I plan on wearing it frequently this winter. As an “eau de parfum”, its longevity and sillage are good, seeming to stay close to the skin in the dry down. ‘Terres Aromatiques’ can be certainly classified as a unisex fragrance, though I find it slightly more masculine leaning. Perfect for both casual and more formal occasions, the scent emboldens its wearer with an air of sophistication and prestige. A must try from Lalique!

When I sprayed this perfume on my wrist, a beauty reside close by me, as a man.
And my friend asked me, “how is it?” I replied calmly, “This perfume is made to tell a poem of elegant and deeply rooted lovely personality…”
I will take one of this great design to join my collection…
9.5/10 is the grade I will give to this charming beauty; although it deserves 10/10 but years back my Finnish professor taught me that 10/10 we were giving only to God (That was before God’s death…)
