Lalique Merles et Raisins Crystal Scented Candle

DESCRIPTION

With the precious Merles et Raisins Crystal candle, Lalique takes you on a fragrant voyage to the French terroir.

A masterpiece of the artist’s Art deco period, “Merles et Raisins” (Blackbirds and Grapes, 1928) was originally the décor of panels designed for the fabled Orient Express. A masterwork of Lalique’s Design Studio and crystal-makers, the beautifully detailed satin-finish vase of the Merles et Raisin Crystal candle is a virtuosic adaptation of the 1928 motif.

Composed by Leslie Girard, its delectable fruity woody scent recreates the rich, warm atmosphere of a vineyard just before the harvest. Sunshine is conjured by the pure essence of sweet orange. To evoke rich red wine, the perfumer has blended grape, iris, and fig notes with davana, a fruity woody ingredient with rich liqueur-like facets. Rum extract adds its touch of fire. Sandalwood, its creamy smoky smoothness. Earthy patchouli and cypriol give off the scent of the generous terroir.

Top Notes: Sweet Orange, Davana, Fig, Grapes

Heart Notes: Cardamom, Orris, Rum, Sandalwood

Dry-down Notes: Leather, Musks, Papyrus, Patchouli

Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.
