Lalique White by Lalique

Smells like lemon and camphor at first—clean and slightly spicy—but then shifts to a soda-like scent that I’m not sure is good or bad. It’s very delicate, almost feminine, and overall, a big ‘meh’.

Smells like toothpaste or mouthwash. Nothing to highlight.

Citrusy and masculine without leaning into sporty vibes, ideal as a signature or daily scent. I loved it; it reminds me of Issey Miyake but younger and less mature. The base has a sweet touch, maybe from the cardamom. For the price, an excellent buy; I got it for about $15 in a 125 ml bottle. I’d only not recommend it if you don’t like citrus.

A hidden gem in perfumery. Alongside Lanvin L’Homme, it’s possibly one of the best non-mass-market perfumes with an incredible quality-to-price ratio, perfect for spring and summer. Spicy opening and very masculine that gradually gives way to something floral, semi-sweet/acidic (maybe the tamarind), while keeping the citrus alive. It denotes absurd quality for the price and is very original. Simply put, I adored it.

Very much in the John Varvatos Artisan Pure line. They share that initial green citrus note, with JV leaning more into the citrus and this Lalique focusing on the green aspect—that lemon leaf note, that bitter citrus smell you get when crushing a lemon or orange leaf. Like most fragrances in white bottles, it conveys cleanliness. The notes of white pepper, violet, musk, and cedar come together to create that clean feeling, like detergent or dry cleaning. Good for the office, daily wear, handles heat well. Vacations, pools, beaches… Even if they don’t smell exactly the same, owning both is redundant.

After trying it several times, I think it’s the definitive one to smell ‘clean’. The citrus top lasts only a few minutes before introducing us into a green woody base; it’s a good perfume when everything smells unified. The key is the sandalwood (or whatever I think it is), that note that elevates the perfume, gives it presence, masculinity, and that expensive touch. Women use Narciso Rodriguez to smell clean; we have Lalique White, since others gave me a metrosexual vibe. Unlike classic fougères that smell like a barbershop but ‘dirty’, this stays flat but just enough to feel masculine, very well played. Another candidate could be Beau du Jour by Tom Ford. I’m glad to see the perfumer is Christine Nagel, whose creations I usually gravitate toward, especially the ones from Hermès.

I bought it in a moment of weakness because it was on sale (I always feel guilty later). Sparkling green citrus; at first, it reminds me of Cacharel Pour Homme. As it dries, the clean woody touch comes out. It smells fresh, natural, and is very appropriate as a gift, unless you hate citrus. It’s versatile for any occasion. Its downside is that it doesn’t turn heads (it can remind you of other fresh scents) and its performance is about three hours on my skin. I’ll save it for when temperatures rise in spring to see if it improves with the heat (some reviews say it does). In summary, it’s delicious for me, who adores citrus, and although it doesn’t last long, I can’t complain much since it cost me about €20 for 125ml.

I love it, but it’s very weak in projection and longevity. It gives me a hint of Eau Sauvage but with a slight spice. I would never buy it at retail price, but rather as cheap as possible. Maximum $20 for the 125ml.

Well, what can I say, it smells good, you can tell the quality, like everything from Lalique. It’s versatile, smells like the bitter leaf of a lemon mixed with citrus and a bit of tamarind in the opening. As it dries, pepper, cardamom, musk, and a vague woody note take presence; I can’t distinguish the other notes. Its trail is weak on my skin and it doesn’t last me more than 4 hours, I think it’s the shortest-lasting one from the brand. It reminds me a lot of Galloway by Parfums de Marly, which I believe PDM was inspired by this Lalique, and then Lalique released White in Black inspired by Layton from PDM, something fun. The difference with Galloway is the longevity and the extreme quality of PDM, but Lalique has a very accessible price. It combines casual and formal well, looks better during the day, summer, and spring, though it doesn’t clash in hot nights or autumn/winter. Longevity 3/10, Sillage 2/10, Scent 8/10, Quality 9/10, Versatility 9/10, Price 10/10.

At first, the bitter opening note of cutting weeds made me recoil, but over time I embraced it. That initial acidity transforms into a blend of cardamom, cedar, and musk. The curious thing is that every time I smell it, it’s different. Perfect for mild or hot days, whether for a formal event or something more relaxed.

Wearing this fragrance is a pure experience. Unlike other citrus scents, the tamarind here doesn’t give acidity, but rather a sparkling, fun, and bold touch. It’s youthful, yet that adds a sense of cleanliness and neatness. Who said white can’t be bold? If you want to smell different this summer, this is the option.

It’s a clean, fresh, and pleasant aroma with medium longevity and projection. It’s delicate; I think it suits women well too. It opens with pepper and lemon; with more power, it would be spectacular. It’s enchanting for daily use and perfect for summer. It’s an interesting olfactory work. Many fragrances I like are weak in longevity. Has anyone tried the 01 booster molecule? I’d love to know if it works to bring life to more timid fragrances.

At first, I sensed lemon and petit grain, perhaps lime leaves, soft bergamot, and the elemi resin that gives it sweetness. I couldn’t locate the tamarind. At five hours, I noticed white pepper and nutmeg. At seven, the musk and a soft cedar. At ten came the curious part: the cardamom, which gives a slightly dirty impression with the soft cedar. It’s clearly a summer or spring scent, for daytime use. It doesn’t have that sparkling citrus opening of others; its intensity fades and resurges. The strange thing is that I sensed the cardamom after the musk and cedar. It’s a dangerous note; it borders on body odor. The sillage is odd: moderate leaning towards weak, but it reappears. It lasted over 12 hours, but I used 1.5 or 2 ml, so if the price allows, it’s worth over-applying. It’s atypical and leaves me disoriented to recommend it. Better for personal enjoyment, taking care that the cardamom doesn’t express too strongly on your skin.

Greetings. Srs, don’t argue so much over something absurd. The batch or date has nothing to do with it; the formula is always the same. What does affect the aroma is humidity, the climate (warm, dry, cold), the altitude, whether you use it day or night, the skin type (darker, lighter), and the pH. Even the bottle cap matters. For example, with Guerlain L’Homme Eau de Bois, they changed the cap from plastic to wood to preserve the vetiver better. I just clarify that it’s not an absolute truth; it’s my opinion. This fragrance is very rich, fresh, and citrusy; I liked it from the first moment. Ideal for people 25 and up, though everyone decides regardless of age. Quick anecdote: the girl who showed it to me says she has a strong hormonal load; I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s loved by ladies anyway.

Greetings. I don’t get why this fragrance generates so much passion and divided opinions; there must be a logical reason. For me, it’s excellent quality; alongside Loewe 7 Natural, it’s one of the best citrus scents I’ve tried. I’m a beginner in this, so there are surely better ones out there, but I’m just starting to explore. I detect tamarind, citrus notes, and cedar at the end; it’s very good. I would buy it again and hope I don’t get the poor quality that disappointed others; I don’t think there’s any reason to lie about a product like this. By the way, it didn’t cost me $30, but $75 for the small bottle. I appreciate the comments and learn a bit more from everyone. Cheers.
