by Lalique
Le Baiser by Lalique is a lush, vintage-inspired floral bouquet with a soft, powdery elegance. It opens with a glistening burst of black currant, gardenia, and violet, quickly settling into a harmonious blend of rose, jasmine, and white floral tones. The heart is softly creamy with a subtle pepper accent, adding a touch of warmth without sharpness. The base displays a gentle woody sweetness—cedar, sandalwood, amber, and musk—that gives the scent a comforting, well-balanced depth. While the initial sillage is moderate to strong, the longevity is moderate, meaning it fades within a few hours, especially on drier skin. The fragrance feels feminine, timeless, and romantic, evoking a sense of delicate sophistication and vintage charm. It works best in cool or rainy weather, aligning well with autumn or winter, and suits evening wear or intimate settings. The bottle, with its iconic kissing couple, is considered a masterpiece of design, elevating the sensory experience beyond the scent.
