Lalique White in Black is a smooth, aromatic vanilla-woody fragrance that captures the essence of Parfums de Marly’s Layton with a softer, more refined approach. The opening features crisp grapefruit and Sicilian bergamot, layered with warm cardamom, pink pepper, and a subtle herbal freshness from lavender. It evolves into a hypnotic blend of vanilla, patchouli, cedar, and ambroxan, creating a sweet, powdery, and slightly smoky base reminiscent of a refined incense. The scent is airy yet sensual, with a gentle sillage that leaves a lingering trail, and while it doesn’t project intensely, the drydown lingers for hours, making it a subtle yet persistent presence. It performs best on clothing, where longevity extends well into the day and even beyond, and is widely praised for its elegant, wearable character that suits both casual and evening wear. The quality of the juice is considered solid for its price point, with many viewers noting its refined feel despite its modest projection and moderate longevity.
