Illusion Captive is a fragrance that comes from the Noir Premier Collection. However, each of the fragrances in this assortment is contained in a bottle whose glass walls are inspired by the most beautiful pieces of Lalique jewelry. All the perfumes in the Noir Premier Collection are thus presented in the “Quatre Aigle” bottle, designed by René Lalique himself in 1911. Illusion Captive is no exception to the rule.

Initially, the Noir Premier Collection consisted of five essences. Each of them was associated with a key Lalique date. Today, Illusion Captive symbolizes the year 1898. For the record, know that it is precisely on this date that René Lalique set up in a glass workshop on the property of Clairefontaine, in the Yvelines. This move allowed him to expand his workshops and develop the technique of blown glass.
