Good Scents

This beautiful bottle is by the famous French company Lalique. The stunning stopper is molded to resemble the fragile booms of the lily of the valley ("muguet" in French), an emblem of affection. The gleaming clear body of the bottle contrasts with the soft glow of the frosted flowers. This design was introduced in 1931.

Lalique, renown today for its fine crystal and jewelry, as well as other luxury goods, was founded by René Lalique in the 1880s, who began his career as a jeweler creating delicate and striking art nouveau designs. In 1905, he opened a new shop that offered not only jewellery, but elegant glass objects as well. Lalique soon began producing elaborate perfume bottles for makers such as Coty and by the 1920s, Lalique glass was considered some of the finest in the world. After René's death in 1945, the company passed on to his son, Marc, who began manufacturing Lalique's glass designs in fine lead crystal. This sensational scent bottle has never been removed from its original packaging, which proudly carries the Lalique label.
