Her spirit animal: the tigress. Her motto: We are women, hear us roar!

The Bottle: Designed by Lalique’s Creative Director Marc Larminaux, the sun-shaped bottle of Soleil Lalique takes on a tawny hue, lacquered in a gradient of warm yellow from the base to the top. As a bonus, there is a bright gold box-chain that circles the collar of the flacon which can be worn as a necklace, a bracelet or an anklet… Go wild!
