LALIQUE L’AMOUR

LALIQUE L’AMOUR belongs to the decorative fragrance side of the house, where the bottle and the scent are both part of the appeal. By our assessment, its strength is the polished, romantic style Lalique usually aims for: a perfume that is more about elegance and softness than about loud projection. The downside of that sort of fragrance is that it can feel too polite if someone wants something sharp, heavy or very distinctive. In practice, it is a matter of skin, mood and how long the scent lingers on a person rather than a quick hit of impact. It sits among feminine designer perfumes that trade in refinement instead of drama. People who like gentle floral-perfume territory may find the shape of it clear enough; anyone after force or edge will probably look elsewhere.
