Soleil Vibrant

A bright, sweet, zingy, citrus white floral with a sweet vanilla, subtlety woody base. Very beautiful and uplifting scent with moderate longevity and sillage. True to its name, it’s sunshine in a bottle! For the full retail price, it’s certainly not worth for me. I like it a lot, it’s a very mass appealing fragrance that follows the same old recipe to garnish instant like ability and popularity. Citrus, flowers, fruits, soft spices and creamy vanilla... Soleil Vibrant is a flanker that breaks with the OG Soleil direction, while remaining a sweet perfume. The original is more sweet in a confectionery style, nutty, gourmand leaning, while Soleil Vibrant is more white floral, fresher, citrus forward. In the same time, it’s not something that you and I don’t already have in our collection. We all have fragrances built around citrus, fruits, spices, a combination of white flowers and woods. Smells very feminine, floral and pretty! From my perspective, the standout notes in Soleil Vibrant are vanilla, ginger, clementine, jasmine and pear. The rest are rather supporting notes for the five stars of the juice. As a fan of original Soleil, (finished a 100 ml bottle and purchase a second one), I would not rush to get Soleil Vibrant because it’s expensive, FRP is 135 euros per bottle, for what it offers. And I am talking about longevity and projection, which are both on the moderate side. The scent is drop dead gorgeous, bright and zingy and I really enjoy it but it’s too watered down for my taste and I don’t live in the kind of country where it’s most time of the year warm weather to wear such a delicate scent! Also super underrated scent, I have heard very little from anyone on social media talking about Lalique fragrances in the last few years. On discounts websites, Lalique perfumes are fairly inexpensive and smell way better than one would expect judging by their price! Edit 10.05.25 Found a great deal online on Soleil Vibrant so I added this beauty to my collection. The packaging is nice, warm orange colouring to match the name, the bottle is very sunny, summery looking and comes with a necklace wrapped around bottle’s neck, which looks decent to wear, at least for a while, while it’s new. Doesn’t look like expensive jewellery... So, for what I’ve paid, I am really pleased with my purchase. Would recommend getting the scent for summer if you’re able to find it on sale! Edit 13.05.25 Changed my mind on the way Soleil Vibrant performs after owning a bottle and a full day wear. Far from being a beast mode perfume, I have sprayed it on clothes this morning before work and now, 14 hours later, it’s still there. I can smell it easily. So, it’s a long lasting perfume, but it’s moderate on sillage! What a nice surprise...

I might have to update this as I wear the perfume more, but from the times that I tested it from the store here's my thoughts so far. Gorgeous juicy and spicy clementine opening. Vanilla comes out more over time as it dries down. They wanted it to smell like sun kissed skin and they definitely achieved it. It becomes this slightly powdery and moderately sweet vanilla but it's more complex than that. My untrained nose is unable to detect which particular ingredients make it smell like this but basically - warm sweet vanilla, but it's more than vanilla. Amber? It just smells warm and comforting. Really like the sun. I don't get too much of the clementine besides in the opening and a bit in the middle, but if anything changes I will update my review. But even while it's present I don't get it in a gummy or candy vibe, just juicy. One thing to note is that this projects and lasts wonderfully. I sprayed it once or twice on my wrist (entirely the same spot though) and I kept getting whiffs of it during the day. This happened both times I've tested it in the same manner. It really is like sun kissed skin. It's not cloying or overbearing at all. I agree with one of the reviews - this can be worn all seasons. Whether it's sunny outside or not. Even if it's rainy and you just miss the sun. Day and night all seasons. And we can't forget the bottle, it's gorgeous. All in all, first time I've smelled it I liked it but it didn't blow my socks off. Still hasn't. BUT as I got whiffs of it during the day it grew on me more and more so I went to test it again and the same thing happened. It's just so comforting. It's crowd pleasing and not offensive yet still unique.

An absolute steal for the price! The opening isn't as bad as people claim. I can see where the ''synthetic'' impression comes with the fruits. It comes off less fruit more candied fruits I guess combined with less of the essence of ginger and just exclusively that ginger ''spicy burn''. But even if it came across as just synthetic It doesn't automatically make it bad. On the contrary, when it settled i was greeted with such a soothing, beautiful feminine vanilla with just the right amount of sweetness. I kept smelling this on my wrist over and over. And in the air on someone else I liked it even more. If the opening didn't sell you the rest for sure will. Opulent full jasmine with clean white orange blossom and a tiny bit of saffron spice that ties it all together. That saffron is the secret ingredient here, it gives it a lot of character. But for sure the main delight of this fragrance is that beautiful vanilla I mentioned. It also has a slight subtle woodiness that has a fresh effervescence to it while still remaining comfy, warm and creamy at the same time. Mostly linear but it's such a nice blend. I just think this is great to smell on someone. It might not have a total distinctiveness or uniqueness but this this type of non gourmand vanilla scent with clean florals that's just amazing on women. But I can understand it might not be totally satisfying to an experienced sniffer, but trust me. Sometimes you just need something cheap, well crafted that you and everyone around you likes as well. A solid dumb reach pretty much.

Let me start by saying that I am blown away by Lalique perfumes. This brand is so underrated, I am shocked it does not get nearly enough love it deserves. My Lalique journey started with two perfumes: Soleil and Soleil Vibrant. Spoiler alert: I am obsessed with bot. But let’s talk about Soleil Vibrant today, because I just sprayed it and want to share my love. Like stated in website, it’s a sunshine, summer in a bottle. This fragrance is light, bright but also sweet and a little gourmand at same time. MAGIC! It opens up with sweetest pear and clementine. Then it progresses to white flowers and vanilla. Vanilla here is of highest quality. Smoothest one I ever smelled. This is amazing, it can be worn any weather, any season and any occasion. It is light, airy, sophisticated, youthful and just dreamy. Literally sunshine in a bottle. Honorable mention is a bottle. This is the MOST beautiful bottle I have ever seen. Lalique is glass maker so no doubt their perfume is encapsulated in separate work of art. When you hold the bottle you feel the value, it’s heavy and expensive. No plastic whatsoever, metal cup and heavy glass. I will repurchase this magic potion for ever! Must have for everyone!

So cozy, pretty and yummy. It ́s like a warm hug, but a refreshing one. Love the pear and clementine. The citrus opening makes this a great vanilla scent, it ́s different, so far the only vanilla forward fragrance I can really wear. Works well in spring, but will be perfect for autumn and winter too. Edit: all throughout spring I have been reaching for this, I just can ́t get enough, it ́s so addictive. I just wanna devour it, it ́s that delicious. Wanna see how far I can carry this into the summer, this might be an all seasons fragrance. Edit 2: it can be used in summer too, just not on heatwave days. Truly an all seasons signature worthy scent. Also if you like the citrus clementine vanilla vibe, Crème de Clementine from Nest is like the teenage sister to the adult Soleil Vibrant. Nest more fun and carefree, and not as complex, but they definitely have the same vibe, so if you like Soleil Vibrant you might wanna try the other one.
