Wake up and smell the sun, is the motto of Soleil, the new fragrance for her from French glassmaker design house Lalique. With their new creation, they made a contemporary perfume to celebrate the modern woman who likes the sun. Soleil feels like being tickled by light on a beautiful morning while smelling a hint of coffee in the air.
How it smells
Soleil Lalique is a sweet gourmand composition that includes citruses, spices, sweet notes and almonds. The perfume is created by the perfumers Barbara Zoebelein, Alexandra Monet and Benoist Lapouza of Drom Fragrances.
My first impression was that Soleil is an unobtrusive and light fragrance. I imagine it on a free-spirited bohemian woman. The citrus and fruit notes are more prominent than the gourmand notes to my nose.
The notes:
Top: Mandarin & Cardamon
& Bitter Almond
Heart: Caffè Latte & Pear Granita & Jasmine
Base: Musk & Sandalwood
& Pink Praline
We conceived this fragrance like a burst of morning light in a bedroom. A radiant halo of serene, intimate notes. Soleil Lalique is an invitation to wake up to the world with a smile.

The bottle
According to the name of the fragrance, the bottle is a sparkling, golden sun. With Lalique’s long tradition in the making of the most stunning bottles, I always expect a lot when they announce a new release. Soleil fulfilled the expectations and is a classy beauty. The 100ml bottle comes with a playful golden tassel charm bracelet you can wear. How extraordinary!
