a mermaid makes herself fine!
"Nilang" was the first fragrance of Lalique that I was allowed to test and it has nothing to say that he had to give way to others in the comments: this is not a value judgment!

Like all the others, this fragrance lives up to the name Lalique: it is clear as glass, very lively, cool and pure as spring water!
Except for the men's fragrance "Encre Noire" (whose comment from me here surprising response - thanks for that!), which plays in a league of its own, all the "normal" Lalique women's fragrances - except for the decidedly luxurious "Noir Premier" collection, which belongs to another cathegory, inspire me again and again.
They are composed without frills and completely without frills, neither creamy, nor powdery - just elegant and ladylike, quiet and very present!

Also "Nilang" is no exception.
The mini atomizer is a bit leaky, so the fully developed fragrance already welcomed me when I opened the envelope with the sample.
Enthusiastically I went in search of the cause and found "Nilang".
Fresh summer fruits, with the exception of the always a little critical to consider tangerine, greet here immediately friendly.
Melon and peach meet to form a refreshing sorbet; the tangerine does not interfere much here.
The still a little exotic lotus, whose leaves and flowers floating on the water are so well known from Egyptian art, fits perfectly with this fragrance opening.
Freesias, like the daffodils certainly in white or in very bright yellow, enrich with their delicate and yet so intense fragrance the already slightly fruity creation.
Water jasmine, for me always a synonym for a young beautiful mermaid, lines up fragrantly before the somewhat strong blueberry with its dark fruit nuance enters the fragrance stage.
The always a little prickly clove provides here once again for a surprise: the delicate, airy fragrance gains more physicality!
The water mermaid called "Nilang" was allowed to become a woman here!
To a fragile woman, richly decorated with flowers and fruits, whose smile is so captivating that you just have to turn around after her!
Will she meet her prince who will redeem her and finally make her happy? Happy ever after?
Who knows?

The praline announced in the fragrance pyramid does not take place even after frequent testing - I do not miss it.
Instead, all the delicacies of the erotic, sensual category unfold, which the first clarity of this fragrance, which at times seems almost virginal, not at all expected.
Sandalwood - as always a little on the border of the unpleasant, appears with patchouli and amber as a beckoning trio. For a moment, the impression arises: everything is right here, nothing is missing! Perfect!
But after musk and the creamy-warm, the senses strongly appealing vanilla join, it is clear: the previous impression was just wrong!
It goes even better, even fuller, even richer: "Nilang" has lost the innocence; it now caresses the soul! And just makes you happy!

Summery light and yet expressive, "Nilang" fits almost all situations in daily life.
Only in the gym and the sporty run (even if it's not exactly the marathon), it feels a little out of place!
The woman who gets involved and surrounds herself with "Nilang" will certainly not be disappointed.
A few hours of this clear, yet mysterious freshness is granted to her before she has to re-spray. In areas where it is better not to attract attention, "Nilang", like the other Lalique fragrances I have mentioned, plays an important role.
The feeling of fragrant cleanliness, like a light protective cape, is a faithful companion.
Even this light unobtrusive whiff reminds us of its wearer; long after she has left a room, she is still present through "Nilang"!
What more could you want?

After I now dufte these crystal-clear fragrance works of art closer to know, I like them all!
It's hard for me to decide which one is my favorite here!
Fortunately, I have well-stocked bottlings of all - thanks for that! So I can still think a while about which of the fine Duftgesellen may move in with me.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to accommodate all here: but a while we will still let it go well together!
This harmony is on some days just what is needed: a little protection, a little warmth - the name Lalique stands for me for this.

Fur on toothpick
Oh, those miracles, that the human bravery and intuition creates! Sometimes they are wonderful and can save your day, sometimes they are anough interesting to keep you sniffing your wrist while wondering, what on earth is going on down there, in the deepest bundles of your body chemistry.

First breath is definitely fruity, melon contaminated with a foot odor. The melon hides a bomb of powder, and I like it. Together with food odor. At times I am so unprotected against surprising fragrances... I can accept almost everything, if it is enough astounding.

NILANG is.

Second stage: Odor of toothpick after long usage. With a certain dose of kindliness I could call that „woody note”, but I definitely miss the necessary level of tact.

Afterwards the fruits come back, a fresh blueberry is my tip from the list, but the end altogether is so animalic, that I would not wonder, if the perfume grew fur. Of course, if hair could break through the present heavy wax/resins.

NILANG is one of the most interesting frangraces that I had the pleasure to meet. I wish it smelled better at the base, and I would gladly wear it, but the resinous end keeps me away. I usually prefer leaner scents. So sad, that I can not feel Coco Mademoiselle here, as mentioned by Coutureguru, Gold and Sherapop.

A dupe of ... ?
It seems more and more common of late that newly released fragrances smell 'just the same as' something that was released only a few years ago.
I would've thought that a house as revered as Lalique would not stoop to these levels but I have just been proved wrong. It may be that my schnozz is malfunctioning or that I have become anosmic from the testfest I have been on since yesterday (doubt it tho'... the old honker is quite robust!!) but I swear that Nilang is almost an exact copy of Coco Mademoiselle. For the first 10 minutes at least and then it drifts in an 'Angel-esque' direction and even reminds me somewhat of Hilfiger's True Star ( did I ever think that was good??? ... can't remember!). I think the thing to do when I have some free skin space is to wear all three side by side and then make an informed decision ... in all fairness.
It's really not a bad fragrance ... very sparkly and champagne like. It just gnaws at me that it's so much 'the same as' ... HATE THAT!! Where is the creativity? Expended on the (imho) lovely bottle spoiled by the floral arrangement stopper? More than likely. I'll investigate and then update :).
