Or Intemporel

Or Intemporel by Lalique is a rich, warm gourmand tobacco fragrance that opens with a striking burst of spicy cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper, creating a cozy, inviting aroma reminiscent of a well-seasoned spice cabinet. As it develops, the warm vanilla, tolu balsam, and soft tobacco notes deepens the scent into a velvety, slightly sweet resinous base, enhanced by subtle coffee and patchouli. The fragrance maintains a refined and balanced profile—never overwhelmingly sweet or cloying—and is notably unisex in character, appealing to both men and women. It performs best in cool or winter conditions, offering an enveloping, comforting presence on skin. The initial top notes are vibrant and attention-grabbing, but the projection is moderate and the sillage fades relatively quickly, especially on sensitive skin or under warm weather. Longevity is decent, lasting several hours, but some users report it lacks strength in the dry down and feels underwhelming after the first hour. The bottle and packaging are luxurious, even if the materials are perceived as average given the high price point.
