Lalique Nilang is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Gérard Anthony. Nilang opens with Water Lily, Jasmine, Freesia, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Blueberry and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Lalique's Nilang carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Nilang is a divisive throwback to the 90s, blending aquatic and gourmand notes into something truly unique. Some find it a captivating, complex floral-oriental, while others can't stomach its intensity. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but a must-try for those seeking something quirky and impactful.

Its strong, complex profile, with significant sweetness and aquatic florals, makes it a bit much for a conservative office setting. However, its sensual and unique character, noted by reviewers, makes it suitable for date nights or casual outings where you want to make an impression. The aquatic elements can feel appropriate in warmer weather, despite its intensity.

About

Dive into a unique blend of water lily, freesia and narcissus, an initial aquatic floral splash that evokes a sweet, dewy freshness. This quickly evolves into a juicy blueberry heart, warmed by creamy praline and vanilla. A rich base of sandalwood, amber, and musk grounds the composition, creating a complex, sweet, and aquatic floral oriental with a surprising gourmand twist.
