Lalique is a French brand of luxury glass, crystal, jewelry and perfumes, named after its founder René Lalique, born in 1860. He began as a freelance jeweler for Cartier and Boucheron and became one of the brightest figures of the Art Nouveau style. Lalique was the first to put the design and form of a piece of jewelry ahead of the number of precious stones, and later he devoted himself entirely to glass.

René Lalique changed the world of perfume forever. At the time, perfumes were sold in plain bottles and customers decanted them into beautiful flacons themselves. In 1907 the perfumer François Coty commissioned labels and bottles from him, and Lalique developed a technology for the mass production of exquisite glass bottles. This is how the idea was born that every perfume should have its own unique bottle. Lalique also created bottles for many other perfume houses, including Nina Ricci.

Lalique Parfums was founded in 1992, and among today's most loved fragrances are the men's Encre Noire with vetiver and its versions Sport and À L’Extrême, Lalique White, as well as the women's Amethyst, Perles de Lalique, Satine, L’Amour and Le Parfum.
