About This Perfume
Lalique Velvet Plum comes across as plum and nectarine cream with soft florals. It opens with nectarine, mandarin orange and pink pepper, moves into iris, osmanthus absolute and tuberose absolute and settles on suederal®, cashmeran and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2019.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and intimate for date nights.
- Sample first if: leathery is new territory for you.

Scent profiles of the picks
For Lalique Encre Noire (Eau de Toilette, 2006), expect dark, earthy vetiver like wet cypress wood: cypress and vetiveryl acetate up top, cashmere wood and musk underneath. Lalique Amethyst (Eau de Parfum, 2007) comes across as juicy berries with soft rose powder, with blackberry and blackberry leaf at the start and musk, woods and vanilla at the base. Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme (Eau de Parfum, 2015) reads as smoky cypress and vetiver over resinous dark woods, opening on cypress and elemi resin and drying down to patchouli, sandalwood and Siam benzoin.
