LALIQUE “TALES OF LIGHT” FRAGRANCES

CRAFTED FROM LIGHT - TOLD THROUGH SCENT

The New Home Fragrance Collection

Launch: May 2026

OPENING A NEW CREATIVE CHAPTER

With Tales of Light, Lalique opens a new creative chapter — the first expression of a renewed vision.
Rooted in its heritage yet looking forward, the Maison continues to explore light, material, and emotion at the heart of its identity.

The journey begins with Chapter One: TALES OF LIGHT.

With this new Home Fragrance Collection, Lalique redefines the category through its own lens, sculpting scent in glass, shaping light into ritual. A natural point of departure, the home has always been central to Lalique’s creative expression. Today, it becomes the stage for a new narrative, where fragrance, design, and legacy converge.

A STORY OF EMOTIONS AND SCENT

The new Tales of Light collection by Lalique, launching in May 2026, pays a luminous tribute to the life and legacy of René Lalique.

Each candle invites a unique sensory journey, embodying a chapter that captures the essence of life, art, and the enduring legacy of René Lalique.

Like a life narrated through scent, six emblematic fragrances reveal his world, evoking the places and memories that shaped his identity and iconic artistry.

More than simple sources of light, these candles are symbols of warmth, comfort, and nostalgia. With each flicker, a story unfolds — a celebration of passion, creativity, heritage, and emotion, conveyed through scent.

A CREATIVE FIRE

The candles express a bold, contemporary identity inspired by the spirit of René Lalique, conceived exclusively by Lalique Creative Director Marc Larminaux.

At the heart of the Lalique Manufacture in Wingen-sur-Moder, an incandescent furnace illuminates molten crystal, whose intense heat gives birth to masterpieces. With its distinctive semi-circular, semi-square silhouette, it inspired the design of the new Lalique candle — a tribute to the alchemy of creation, where raw elements are transformed into objects of beauty.With an almost architectural presence, the candle design echoes Lalique’s Art Deco heritage. The fluted glass recalls the sculptural elegance of the Maison’s most iconic creations. Symmetrical grooves capture and diffuse the light, casting soft, undulating reflections. A refined finish evokes the satin-polished surface of Lalique crystal, enhanced by shaded color gradients that suggest the fragrance within — a sensory prelude to the story each candle tells.

"The idea was to create a contemporary Lalique piece inspired by Art Deco architecture. The engraved motif in the glass creates a magical interplay of light. The blend of lines and curves, softness and strength makes this new candle a timeless and virtuous piece for any interior."

Marc Larminaux, Lalique Creative Director

Each vessel is designed to be cherished beyond the flame. Created to endure, it is an eternal decorative object — a precious work of art for the home. Once the candle has burned down, the vessel transforms into an elegant diffuser. It is enhanced by a beautiful ash wood lid — a final tribute to the natural elements that are dear to the Lalique universe.

This is a timeless piece to reuse, admire, and preserve, where fragrance and craftsmanship continue to intertwine.

"I envisioned this diffuser, inspired by the candle's design, as a way to create a new home fragrance ritual. I appreciate its sustainable aspect, transforming a candle jar into a diffuser. It's a truly innovative Objet d’Art."

Marc Larminaux, Lalique Creative Director

Six candles, six stories, six memories, shaped by light and told through fragrance.

THE OLFACTORY CHAPTERS OF LIGHT

LA DEMEURE – Where It All Began

Olfactory family: Aromatic / Ambery

A tribute to René Lalique’s childhood home — a sanctuary of comfort, elegance, and warm memories.

The fragrance opens with a warm, spicy embrace of incense and cardamom, softened by a delicate hint of geranium blended with fresh mint. The powdery elegance of iris meets soothing lavender, enriched by a gentle touch of almond sweetness. In the base, creamy tonka bean and vanilla melt into earthy patchouli and elegant cedarwood.

L’ESCAPADE – Nature Captured in Light

Olfactory family: Fruity / Green

A green and luminous breath inspired by the forests and meadows of Alsace that awakened his fascination with flora and fauna.

Fresh, herbaceous notes of clary sage and chamomile open the fragrance, before immortelle unfolds its slightly honeyed aroma. In the base, deep cedarwood and patchouli evoke the tranquility of a sunlit forest floor.

L’ATELIER – From Pencil to Poetry

Olfactory family: Resinous / Woody

An evocation of the studio where drawings and visions came to life. Serenity, focus, pure light.

Fresh elemi notes and a hint of citrus bring clarity and luminosity. A heart of dry, linear cedarwood recalls the antique furniture of the atelier. Sandalwood and pine blend creamy and sensual tones with a resinous, green base, adding soothing depth.

LA MUSE – Love Transformed into Light

Olfactory family: Floral / Powdery

A story dedicated to Augustine-Alice, the creator’s eternal muse, symbol of elegance and inspiration.

The opening is luminous, with sparkling, delicate accents of bergamot and orange blossom. Beneath, petitgrain and pink pepper weave green, subtly spicy nuances — a moment of sensuality. Geranium blossoms with a floral caress, its rosy, fresh facets enveloping the composition in a warm embrace.

LA COMÉDIE – Crafted for the Spotlight

Olfactory family: Powdery / Musky

A nod to the Parisian theaters of the Roaring Twenties, where René Lalique found fantasy, exuberance, and dramatic intensity.

A vibrant dance of ginger and cardamom awakens the senses with energy, softened by juicy peach with berry accents. A delicate mist of powdery iris and heliotrope floats in the air like a cloud of stage makeup. A touch of cinnamon warms the blend, before a velvety base of suede, patchouli, and tonka bean settles like a final bow under the spotlight.

LA VERRERIE – Born of Fire

Olfactory family: Ambery / Woody

The very essence of Lalique: fire, transformation, artisanal mastery.

The fragrance ignites with the spicy warmth of incense and cinnamon. A swirl of raspberry rises through the heat, adding contemporary sweetness. Saffron, both leathery and golden, enhances the rose’s silky radiance. Finally, the base lingers with blond tobacco, sandalwood, and cedarwood, leaving a smoky, resinous imprint.

THE CAMPAIGN – MOMENTS IN LIGHT

For the first time, Lalique unveils a fully immersive 3D campaign, bringing key moments of René Lalique’s life into striking visual focus.Each scene reinterprets a defining place in his journey — from his childhood home to the Parisian atelier and the Alsace manufacture — translating biography into atmosphere. Through a precise interplay of light, material, and depth, the campaign visuals and video echo the Maison’s mastery of glass and its enduring dialogue between fire and luminosity. Every image represents a pivotal chapter, extending the narrative of the six home fragrances beyond scent into space and dimension. The result is a campaign that transforms memory into experience — where light, place, and fragrance converge.
