Nice to look at, nice to smell
The Flacon has me so beguiled that I have perceived a favorable offer to order it blindly. He is (see photos below) the descendant of the Nina Ricci classic in real Lalique crystal from the 50/60s, but then filled with other fragrance.
Because he is just so beautiful, I would not have been able to resist him anyway at some point, even if the scent would have been terrible. Is he but fortunately not. He comes but unfortunately also not to the earlier fragrances, which were distributed under the name "Lalique" and are partly still, approach. Le Baiser, the old Nilang, Le Parfum de Lalique...they all had something special, unique selling points, stood out from the sea of the mainstream. Today, if you want to get a high-quality, well-made Lalique fragrance, you have to reach for the higher-priced exclusive scents, or back to the vintages.
Soleil is a ray of sunshine. The flacon sparkles and pleases. The fragrance also pleases me, it is pleasing. But that is not enough, there are many of them. Many that resemble it, even. I notice a lot of sweet, slightly synthetic tangerine, a little cream, surrounded by sunny fruit candy.
Surprisingly, I (and others!) can still smell the candy after 4 hours. It's kind of branded again. (Reminds me somehow of my sister polyester...)
Nice summer scent, better than the newer Escadas.
