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 a Statement verdict, a sweet-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.

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.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
