About This Perfume
L'Insoumis by Lalique is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. L'Insoumis was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Fabrice Pellegrin. Top notes are Basil, Rum and Bergamot; middle notes are Clary Sage, Lavender and Black Pepper; base notes are Woody Notes, Haitian Vetiver, Patchouli and Moss. Lalique is launching the new masculine fragrance L'Insoumis in September 2016, dedicated to the founder of the house Rene Lalique and his artistic spirit. The man who wears it is conceived as a charismatic, elegant and authentic individual who does not follow trends but creates them. He is a dreamer and a modern day adventurer. The composition belongs to the aromatic-woody fougere group, developed by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and produced with rich and high-quality ingredients. An intense aromatic combination of bergamot, rum and basil prelude to the classic masculine heart of lavender, black pepper and clary sage. Haitian vetiver, moss, patchouli and the Clearwood molecule end the composition. The contemporary Art Deco design of the bottle is decorated with a relief of a fern, the motif that was first used on Lalique's iconic Tourbillons vase from 1926. The fern symbolizes the free spirit that the fragrance is trying to convey.

The Brand

Lalique

Lalique is a French crystal-house heritage brand whose fragrance division sits between designer and niche, with a signature focus on the flacon as a collectible object. The range splits feminine (15), masculine (9) and unisex (9). Family coverage: gourmand (12), fresh (8), woody (5), floral (4), plus smaller counts across spicy, fruity and leather. Top accords are sweet, woody, floral, spicy and powdery. Prices run from about $23 all the way up to $28,000 for the ultra-luxury crystal flacon pieces, the tail-end here reflects the crystal-object positioning more than the fragrance. Standout live picks: Ombre Noire (smoky cedar, resin and tobacco, lightly sweet), Spicy Electrum (warm peppery spice with smoky incense woods), and Lalique White in Black (sweet vanilla resin, lavender spice, citrusy breeze).
