Lalique Pour Homme Lion Eau de Parfum is a confident aromatic woody amber that opens with a cool burst of citrus and herbs before easing into an elegant heart where orris and jasmine polish a refined lavender and cedar accord, finally settling into a smooth, classic dry down of oak moss, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, and a discreet vanilla glow. It reads timeless and dignified while remaining wearable for daily office hours and evening dress codes alike.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 1997 and composed by Maurice Roucel, the scent reinterprets a traditional gentleman fougère with a richer, ambery signature for modern wear.

Story and Positioning
Created as a house pillar, Lion nods to René Lalique’s storied automotive mascots and Art Deco codes, channeling strength and elegance through a clean, floral, woody architecture that links fresh citrus to a comforting ambery base. Fans often place it in the refined barbershop lineage beside creations like Creed Bois du Portugal and even Guerlain Heritage, offering that polished lavender woods aura at remarkable value. Handcrafted in France, it suits formal settings, boardrooms, and evening tailoring while staying quietly assured rather than loud.
Bottle and Design
The flacon feels like a keepsake from the Lalique atelier. Clear, weighty glass frames a satin frosted central panel that carries a sculpted lion medallion in the glass, while a gleaming gold tone cap and collar finish the piece with classic presence. The lion intaglio gives real tactility and shelf impact, echoing the brand’s heritage in fine glasswork.
