HIGHLIGHT

<Lalique and Flacon>
René Lalique, who achieved success as a jewelry designer during the Art Nouveau period, began creating perfume bottles after meeting perfumer François Coty in the early 20th century. This marked Lalique's first step into glass artistry. With his delicate and elegant designs, combined with his exceptional craftsmanship as a jeweler, Lalique elevated the perfume bottle beyond a mere container into a form of art. His bottles, which fantastically expressed the world of "fragrance," quickly captured the hearts of many and had a significant influence on the French perfume bottle industry. Each Lalique perfume bottle, encapsulating fragrance and story in every detail, continues to captivate hearts just as powerfully as it did a century ago.
