Cary — thanks for stopping by and providing info on the Lalique exhibit. Anyone who appreciates fine perfume knows of Lalique and the beautiful bottles they create, so the exhibit information provided goes well with the above post.

This perfume sounds lovely and mysterious, so I think the packaging probably fits it perfectly. And as you said, one wouldn’t expect any less of Lalique. They’ve been creating beautiful art (in scent and glass) for quite some time! Have you ever seen any of their antique glassware? I work for a site called Positively Cleveland, and right now we’re getting the word out about an upcoming at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s called “Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique”, and will feature exquisite examples of each artist’s work. If you get a chance the exhibit is well worth a trip to see these beautiful treasures in person. You can find more information at http://www.clevelandblings.com.
I hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment. I’m just trying to get the word out about this amazing exhibit so as many people as possible can have the experience of seeing this art with their own eyes. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to E-Mail me. I’d love to hear from you

You aint just whistlin’ Dixie — I put the darn thing on the bathroom scale and it weighed 2.8 pounds!
That’s 2 ounces of liquid volume, 44.6 ounces of container and box. My Clive Christian X for Men, which comes in a similar sized box and jar, clocks in at only half the weight (1.4 pounds).
Heft, indeed.

Ah…thing of beauty, pieces and entire. I can almost reach in and feel the heft.

Dear lord, tell me about it! I was not expecting it to be so . . . beautiful.
I guess that’s really the only word that fits. I mean, it’s Lalique, and I know their reputation, but the heft of the box, the quality of the bottle, the colors, the wood, the way it all matched up with the expert craftsmanship of the fragrance itself . . . I was a little blown away.

Oh yay! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Is that not the best package porn or what?

I know! I thought about that after I’d already put the bottle and the camera away. I’ll have to drag it back out today and try and get a decent shot of the stopper.
(Note: Photo added this morning — I realized I already had a photo of the bottle with the cap off to show the round glass stopper top)

Hooray! Another beautiful, tantalizing unveiling. Thank you.
(But hey…where is the stopper???)
