BEHIND THE SCENES OF HAUTE PARFUMERIE Lalique is keeping Nina Ricci’s traditions alive in Ury

Lalique Beauty Services, the art of perfume at the epicentre of excellence For more than ten years, Lalique Group has been cultivating a passion for the creation of perfumes, supported by its acquisition of a French perfumery with exceptional expertise in 2013. The site, tucked away in Ury, a village in the Seine-et-Marne department of France, was transformed into Lalique Beauty Services, which brings together innovation, tradition, and a love for detail in order to devise unique and memorable fragrances.

A history at the heart of luxury perfumery It all started back in 1973 when Nina Ricci opened a production site in Ury. Ever faithful to the heritage of its exceptional artisans, the site became a part of luxury perfume history. It was then in 1992 that Marie-Claude Lalique, granddaughter to René Lalique, created the brand’s first eponymous perfume, Lalique de Lalique , which would become a timeless symbol. To celebrate this tradition rooted in perfumery, Lalique dreams up a limited edition crystal perfume bottle each year. These creations are true works of art that lay bare the brand’s soul, symbolising that powerful bond between creativity and excellence.

A passion for beauty and quality For Lalique Beauty Services, each perfume is an adventure. The state-of-the-art production facilities transform raw materials of exceptional quality into unforgettable fragrances. Whether the end result is a small and exclusive series or a more ambitious, large-scale line, the same attention to detail is paid to ensure excellence at each and every step. With an impressive maceration capacity of 90,000 litres per month and an annual production volume of 15 million bottles of perfume, the Ury site is a key player in perfume creation, fusing industrial performance with artisanal finesse.

Ury, where excellence means quality

The crystal perfume bottles, particularly those from limited editions, such as the sublime Magma or Empreinte animale (to the left) bottle, are the fruit of meticulous work performed by hand in a luxury workshop. The baudruchage technique used to seal the bottles is a delicate operation involving gold thread, the epitome of the care shown down to the most minute detail.

Lalique Beauty Services does not settle for making just its own perfumes, though; its portfolio also boasts prestigious brands such as Jaguar, Bentley, Grès, Brioni, Superdry, and most recently Mikimoto. Each project is an opportunity to explore new horizons while honouring the values ingrained in Lalique.

More than just a manufacturing site, the location in Ury is a melting pot of passion, creativity, and expertise. With its ISO 22716 certification since 2016, it ensures exceptional quality standards and reflects the spirit of perfection that drives Lalique. Within each bottle and every drop of perfume hides a trove of history, infused by a luxury brand that has constantly sought to take the art of perfumery to new heights, all while keeping its promise of excellence and timeless beauty.
