A luminous fruity floral chypre that feels like walking through a sunlit garden, Azalée opens with juicy peach and sparkling bergamot wrapped in airy freesia, then glides into a plush bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and rose before settling into a soft trail of patchouli, sandalwood, and musk. It wears bright yet feminine, romantic yet polished, with a graceful elegance that suits daytime occasions and gentle evening moments alike.

Story and Positioning
Azalée draws on René Lalique’s floral heritage, specifically the abstract lily motif known as Lys Noir first used on a 1924 bottle. The brand frames the scent as a radiant expression of the joy of love, translating the flamboyant hues of azaleas into a modern fruity floral chypre. If you enjoy romantic florals with a soft chypre drydown, this sits beautifully within Lalique’s feminine collection as an elegant everyday signature.
Bottle and Design
The design cues reference René Lalique’s historical Lys Noir motif, rendered with contemporary clarity so the rosy juice glows through the glass. The flacon has clean architectural lines that feel timeless in the hand, while the minimal lettering and polished cap keep the presentation refined. It reads as an object of French glassmaking craft with gentle color and quiet prestige.
