Created by Brioni on the occasion of its 80th birthday, in collaboration with the illustrious crystal maker Lalique, the Dualité, Crystal Edition Perfume is a Limited Edition fragrance housed in 18 unique and signed crystal flacons.
At the heart of this masterpiece lies an Extrait de Parfum composed by Master Perfumer Michel Almairac, built around rare and luxurious iris butter, which is crafted through a meticulous seven-year process (three years cultivation, three years curing, one more year to extract and produce the butter into a fragrant creation).
The crystal flacon is a masterfully sculpted octagonal prism, serving as a signature element of Brioni's design code. The ancient technique of lost-wax, originally explored by René Lalique in the late 19th century, enabled the creation of the intricate crystal sculptures that decorate the heart of the flacon, each one unique. The glacier-like facets refract light with mesmerizing brilliance, and the silver hue of the Parfum Essence further enhances the effect.
A translucent, luminous alabaster casing can transform into a striking pedestal, reminiscent of a Roman column, creating an art installation that exudes creative expression and timeless sophistication.

The Flacon

A superbly sculpted crystal octagonal prism, in homage to 80 years of Brioni.
Inside the flacon, an eruption of crystal shards with mesmerizing brilliance, enhanced by the silver hue of the Parfum Essence.
The presentation box, that transforms into a striking pedestal, is crafted from white Italian alabaster with a minimalistic design reminiscent of a Roman column.

Reviving cire-perdue ancient technique

The ancient lost-wax method, first explored by René Lalique circa 1893, has been revived, allowing for unique intricate sculptures within the flacon, making each piece unique.
Highly skilled artisanry involves crafting a wax model, encasing it in a mold, then melting the wax to form a cavity for molten crystal, which captures every delicate detail as it cools. Once solidified, the mold is carefully broken to reveal the final piece, to then be exquisitely refined.

“Behind Dualité, Crystal Edition Perfume flacon lies the passion and creativity of our two Maisons. The know-how and extraordinary skills of the Lalique glass makers have made this wonderful piece of art a reality. It represents our shared values and a true testimony in our constant search for excellence and beauty.”

MARC LARMINAUX, Lalique Artistic Director

“I crafted this perfume with a violet accord, using exceptional overdoses of Ambroxan, modern woody notes, and rare iris butter. This creation embodies urban elegance and modernity, offering a unique and unforgettable olfactory signature.”
