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.

Sooo. I read about it and saw the campaign with the advertised scent notes and I was already hooked. Luckily there is a Lalique store near me and let me tell you, a first sprizz of Soleil Vibrant had me thinking of a sunny day, basking in the golden light of the afternoon. The scent notes i can heavily smell are vanilla, honey and i think saffron. Jasmine is very light. Apparently there are notes of pear and leather too, but i dont smell it as much. ☺️ it smell like a warm, soft, honeyglazed day, full of buttery yellow flowers. In my opinion it is not a gourmand scent though, as it does not conjure a sweet heavy dessert vibe. It rather is lighter, but still warm and not at all too sweet. It actually smells like the Twinings Camomile, Honey & Vanilla tea :-D In my eyes, a lush scent, perfect for summer and fall.

Not as exciting as I was hoping for. I wanted to smell the ginger and the floral notes, but all I got was vanilla and an amber smell that I assume is the "dream wood." It's nicely blended, but in a way that lost most of the white flowers and spice along the way. On the plus side, it does smell delicious, and if you love vanilla and very sweet mandarin, you'll like this a lot. A safe buy as a gift for a person who just likes to smell good and isn't looking for magic or pursuing a dream fragrance from the past. I'll wear it, but not buy the full bottle, although I'd love to have the bottle. I wouldn't mind having the hair fragrance, though. Would be wonderful on a warm summer night.

I have got Soleil Vibrant and I have to say that it is soo soo similar to another fragrance that I have- Roberto Cavalli Sweet ferocious (shaffron and woods in both) and Oscar de la Renta Alibi eau sensuelle (woods and spicy orchidea that smells similar shaffron). They all are almost identical..for me it is plus:) owning an extra bottle of type of fragrance which I love. P.S: with classical Soleil I would say nothing in common. Soleil vibrant is absolutely oriental and warm, spicy and woody scent as all the rest oriental scents that exists.

Starts with a little harsh, leathery saffron. Soon after small particles of clementine can be detected, no pear though. What the Soleil Vibrant is after short while, and this stage lasts to the base, is a really enchanting vanilla. Not too sweet, much more unisex than expected, and closer to niche fragrance than mainstream. It's a big upgrade comparing to the first Soleil. Which was nice enough, but little too plain.

My mom and I were offered this perfume when we went to a mall dept store and immediately fell in love with it, especially my mom. It smells so fresh, sweet and elegant perfect for everyday use. I bought the 50 ml for me and my mom the 100 ml one. Gonna use it to uni every week and possibly gonna keep repurchasing it when I ran out🥰 P.s: The perfume has such a good value perfect for me as a uni student

This really surprised me! I bought it mostly for the Lalique bottle, but was intrigued by the notes. The bottle is just stunning! Like an art piece- but the juice - oh my - gorgeous!! I love citrus vanilla scents so this is my jam. It’s orange, pear, ginger, orange blossom with a vanilla and woody base - all expertly blended. Tons of projection- Just so good!!

this is soooooooo sexy omg when i was describing this to my best friend i defined it as: "she'd walk past you on the street in the early evening and she's going to like lavelle or something like she's going to have a wild king street weekend and you'd say excuse me maam not so fast one second can I Eat it From The Back" and that's exactly it!

My newest love! The spicy citrus opening is so happy & lively while remaining smooth. Then the florals kick in for an uber feminine accord with soft, tasty warm vanilla & wood at the base. It's like a warm, loving hug from the life of the party, and I am HERE for it! All weather day time scent, though I think I'll stick to spring/summer use.

Resembles very much YSL "Black opium". Here note of saffron makes effect of coffee. Feminine, sunny, juicy scent. There is no patchouli here or any down to earth notes.

Anyone getting poison vibe from this? Regardless I liked it and will buy because it makes me happy 😊

Upon a sun-struck patio there languishes a Bengal cat, indolent sovereign of the afternoon. Her eyes, twin chalices of molten gold and green, brim with citrus-bright sparks, as though bergamot and lime had conspired to kindle them. Her whole demeanour is composed of a serene amiability; she is sweetness made flesh, repose given feline form. She reclines, as bright ginger cradled in the aromatic embrace of pear, appearing to the casual passer-by a creature utterly tamed. Innocent. Inviting. Sunrays, dance upon her spotted copper coat, tracing fleeting mosaics of light and shadow. About her, jasmine and orange blossom are in fervent bloom, and she, motionless as an antique idol, presides over their fragrant court. The air is heavy with a rich and enveloping perfume, distilled from a multitude of noble flowers. They seem to worship her; for whom else, if not this gilded priestess of indolence, would they dare to blossom with such prodigal abandon? Sweet and tender, with an exotic whisper of velvet saffron, they hymn her with their invisible choruses. They sing of their delight, of spring’s awakening splendour, of sap-stirred woods and quickened fields, of songbirds in the boughs and great migratory flocks winging their way home from remote and forgotten horizons. Their petals, in languorous descent, caress her fur as they fall, then scatter and hide, laughing, behind the sumptuous drapery of Bourbon vanilla. Its sweetness descends like a cloud gone slightly tipsy, having lost its way between the ardent spears of sunlight and the vapours of aged bourbon. Overwhelmed by such exuberance and clamour, it comes at last to rest in a soft effusion around the cat. Her fur, glimmering with hues of molten copper and honey, catches this velvety haze of scent, until the very air about her is perfumed with adoration and delighted gossip. The cat remains unperturbed. She blinks her shining bergamot eyes, tranquil and content, untouched by the rapture that surrounds her. All this attention, this fragrant tumult, is but distant music to her sovereign mind. She is a graceful mistress of the moment, receiving tributes with a light disdain and a certain nonchalant hauteur. Yet, attuned to the smoothness of the notes that weave about her, she partakes in them with secret pleasure, finding repose amid the bustle. Around her, time itself seems to still; she abides outside the haste and clamour of early spring. She languishes in the sweet perfume of blossoms and fruits, and they, in turn, exult in the rare honour of her undivided regard. The woods beyond are yet young; their juices rise, rendering them milky, warm, and tender with awakened life. They offer as yet no shade, no coolness of damp, dark earth. Not yet. For now, all is yielded to the blossoms. It is their hour—to flutter, enchant, and bewitch with their mortal splendour before it is scattered to the winds. And so the Bengal lies, enthroned in this delectable paradise that the heedless world, racing past, neglects to see. Only the cat has mastered the arcane art of transcendent stillness. Her existence, radiant and fragrant in the vivid present, unfolds in secrecy—unravelled and unseen, unspoilt and undisturbed. She is eternal in her repose, like the Vibrant Sun itself, which diffuses its generous light upon all creatures in equal measure.

At first I was getting cola and Mugler Alien, but it's really taken on its own quality now that it's had a chance to aerate after the initial sprays. I've worn this a few times, and I've decided that I really like it! The pear that I smell in the opening is very reminiscent of Anna Sui Sky (which is great because that perfume makes me sneeze and I can't wear it, even though it's lovely.) This perfume is beautiful in its own right, just give it a chance to open up~ To me this fragrance evokes summer in a different way from the original. The original Soleil smelled like fruit punch, hot summer days in the park and hot summer nights at the club. Soleil Vibrant evokes midday beaches and orange sunsets! Suntan lotion, frangipani flowers, coconuts and pina coladas. It's the type of fragrance to spray when you're missing summer, or in the midst of it. The original smelled like an active day of heat and fun, but this one smells like relaxation while listening to salt water waves. The fragrance is sweet and powdery, a bit ethereal and dreamlike, especially when sprayed generously you get so much more than just vanilla. And it's like french vanilla bean rather than vanilla icing, or like a sweet pina colada. Intoxocating. It would make a lovely date night perfume. I'm loving the way this fragrance is transporting me to another place! It would be a nice treat to sniff inside of a winter fur coat when you're wondering why you still live where it snows. I'm really glad that I snatched it up when I saw it for a good price. It just might be second bottle worthy.

Sweet citrus on a spicy vanilla base. Clementine is the standout note to me, it's so juicy and fruity. And sweet unlike any other citrus note. Honestly, it kind of reminds me of an orange gummy bear, but in a good way. The pear might help with this, but it's subtle, I don't smell that much pear here. The saffron is quite recognizable, especially when you know it's there. This is not the metallic kind of saffron you find in many modern niche fragrances (think BR540 and the likes or some oud/rose scents), it's closer to the way baked goods with saffron smell naturally. Due to the slight sharpness of the saffron, and also the bright white florals in this, the scent as a whole smells interesting and well-blended, despite the gummy candy effect of the clementine and the strong vanilla. It's sweet and delicious, but also fizzy and spicy. I sense some similarity to the original Soleil, both have that warm, fruity, bittersweet vibe, so I think this works quite well as a more citrusy, lighter and sweeter flanker. It definitely feels sunny and vibrant, very aptly named. In my opinion this could be worn either in the sun or when you miss the sun, so basically year round.

A fruit basket on a bed of sweet, vanillic jasmine. Definitely not the fresh, airy type of scent, though - every note here is sweetened, so it almost gives an impression that there should be something like honey or syrup in the pyramid. The orange blossom and the slight spiciness of ginger are also quite distinct to me, and when combined, make for an association with something dessert-y like baklava or turkish delight. It is a "sunny" scent, but not the typical summery kind. If worn in summer, probably more fitting for nighttime, or at least for when it's not scorching hot. Also doesn't smell boring, but it feels like it's missing something - personally, I'd add something to it that would be in contrast to the overall composition - like a more masculine kind of spice note, or a greener flowery note. Not bad at all!

First spray was ‘oh nice’ but on wearing a while I revisited and thought it smelled like ‘perfume’, that is, the idea of what traditional perfume smells like. I grew up in the 80’s so have some big hitters in my memory as defining what ‘perfume’ is to me. It’s retro in that way. Evocative of the impact of wearing anything as diverse in profile as Fendi, Red Door, Paris. So it does not smell like them but they are all Perfume with a capital P. I liked the memory but sadly won’t be purchasing full size. Shame as the quality is very good and I understand the price point is also good. If you like radiant sweet floral in a very old school form, you may well love it. It’s a try before buy and I’m glad I did. Later got a bit of a headache from the Jasmin note I think. More than average projection and longevity.
