The Japanese High Jeweler Mikimoto and the French crystal maker, Lalique, has unveiled an exclusive fragrance creation that unites craftsmanship, artistic legacy and the spirit of nature.

The collaboration between the two houses began years ago, when Mikimoto first entrusted Lalique to design a chandelier for its bridal salon in Ginza, Tokyo. The resulting piece, Cloud of Clovers, became a symbol of shared artistic values and laid the creative foundation for Fortune Leaves – a continuation of that dialogue, now expressed through fragrance and crystal, officials said.

The Fragrance

The fragrance, crafted by perfumer Alex Lee from Mane, opens with the earthy notes of angelica seed and lentisque absolute. A touch of pink peppercorn brightens the top, followed by floral and aquatic nuances that suggest a garden glistening with morning dew. Orris concrete and ambrette seed bring depth and softness, echoing the roundness and sheen of a pearl.

Four-Leaf Clover Design

The crystal flacon, imagined by Marc Larminaux, artistic and creative director at Lalique, takes the shape of a radiant pearl bordered by a field of clovers. Each base is mouth-blown into a custom mold. The cap is covered in clovers and crafted using the historic lost-wax technique initially explored by René Lalique in 1893, allowing for fine detail and individuality in every piece. A four-leaf clover is embedded on the flacon and revealed by lifting the cap. The flacon is presented in a whitened maple wood case, resting on pearlescent suede and nestled within a cloud of clovers.

“This design was inspired by the enchanting moment of discovering a four-leaf clover – an unexpected symbol of luck and beauty,” said Larminaux. “We brought this vision to life through the exceptional craftsmanship of Lalique, from the initial sketches and sculpting to the intricate glassmaking techniques. The result is a poetic and captivating piece that embodies the elegance and artistry at the heart of Lalique.”

The limited-edition of 10 pieces is available in select Lalique and Mikimoto boutiques with a retail price of $28,000.
