Ombre Noire was launched in 2017Nose behind this fragrance is Karine DubreuilOverviewThe name Lalique evokes the brilliance of jewellery, the wonder of transparency, and the brilliance of crystal. Before it became a brand name, it was the name of a man, an artist of genius, Rene-Jules Lalique and of his heirs who shared his creative flame. Rene Lalique was born in Ay-en-Champagne in the Marne region of France. Some years later, the Lalique family moved to Paris but continued to spend holidays in Ay. Rene Lalique remained deeply attached to his birthplace throughout his life. Following the death of his father, Rene Lalique became an apprentice to craftsman and jeweller Louis Auction. It was during this time that he learned jewellery-making techniques while attending classes at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. He then left for England where he continued his studies for two more years. In 1885, after gaining recognition as an independent designer for some of the great jewellery houses such as Jacta, Cartier and Boucheron, Rene Lalique took over the workshop of jeweller Jules Destape on Place Gaillon in Paris.
