PEACH AND PATCHOULI
Lalique Azalee is a neo-chypre with patchouli, so basically a fruitchouli. The peach is very prominent here — it’s a good peach, slightly cool, not syrupy. Think realistic peach slices and peach skin.

The bottle caught my eye first, and with my love for peach-based fragrances, I couldn't resist. At just $25, it was too tempting to pass up. But let’s be real: it’s not groundbreaking. It’s simple, linear, and doesn’t evolve much after it settles in.

The base notes bring in a smooth patchouli, amber, and a dash of woodiness, which anchors the fragrance without making it too heavy. It’s a basic, easy-to-wear scent. If you’re looking for complexity, this might not be the one... The florals are pretty muted here, blending together in a way that makes it hard to pick out any specific notes. It’s just a generic, soft mix of florals that doesn’t stand out much. They’re there to add a touch of freshness, but they don’t take center stage.

The fragrance reminds me of the peach scents that were all the rage in the '90s. Think Gucci Rush, but with an elegant, refined twist. Whereas Gucci Rush was bold and wild — definitely a "mistress" vibe — Azalee feels like a more grounded, stable version: the stay-at-home wife and mom. It’s a sophisticated take on a fruity chypre.

Between fruity chypre and fruitchouli
The inspiration for this beautiful new Lalique fragrance came from the "lys motif" René Lalique used for a flacon in 1924. The motif of the "lys noir" was based on Egyptian frescoes and reinvented by René Lalique, whose entire œuvre is teeming with floral symbols. So it isn't suprising that the company behind the Lalique fragrances ("Arts&fragrances") opted for a new floral scent in 2014.
The azalée itself is a flower that is supposed to symbolize love, but azalée doesn't boast of a particular scent. Therefore the perfumers used roses to express this concept. I can smell radiant roses admidst a sunny garden, where peaches grow and lemons sparkle.
The scent was announced as a "fruity chypre" and its base is indeed marked by patchouli, a fact I enjoy. By the way, the inclusion of bergamot and peach in the top notes rings a bell, and first I was reminded of "Mitsouko", but the rosy, flowery heart speaks a different language. There is no oakmoss in "Azalée", it is clearly a contemporary take on the chypre genre with the fruity-ambery aspect of the scent pointing into the direction of the popular "fruitchouli". "Azalée" is no bold, subversive fragrance, but a pretty mainstream flower in a beautiful bottle. Not too loud, not too brash, not dramatic. Very much in line with the company's classic style.

Basic, easy-to-wear peachy neo-chypre with patchouli and soft, muted florals. It’s a good peach, slightly cool, not syrupy. Linear.
