Lalique Claire de Nilang is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997, created by Olivier Cresp.

Lalique's Claire de Nilang carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive. Some will love this for its unique fresh-green character, while others find the initial sharpness and coriander note simply unbearable. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean character, make it suitable for casual day wear and even a good option for the office, provided the initial sharpness isn't overwhelming. It's less suited for formal events or romantic dates where something richer or softer might be preferred.

About

Claire de Nilang opens with a distinctive, almost biting freshness, a green burst of cilantro and bright bergamot softened by delicate freesia. As it settles, a surprising kick of pink pepper emerges, mingling with the elusive sweetness of black locust. The dry down offers a creamy, understated base of sandalwood and vanilla, with the tropical touch of hibiscus adding a subtle, clean warmth.
