Rene Lalique Dans La Nuit-2 Perfume Bottle: RLalique.com

Rene Lalique Dans La Nuit-2 Perfume Bottle information and photos at RLalique.com are tied together on this main Dans La Nuit-2 Perfume Bottles page. Past and future auctions, historical details, sales, copies, reproductions, articles and more are all accessible from here. This page grows as more info is added to the website.

Note: Dans la nuit is French for in the night. It's the name of just one of several fragrances the bottle was used for.

Also Note: On this page we show all the variations of the clear flask form Worth bottles that have no molded words or molded decoration on the sides of the container and are molded R. LALIQUE in some form (except when the word Creation is present as discussed below) to the underside. Over time these bottles were made with several different stoppers both in design, thickness, and proportional size to the bottle. Bottle necks were also made in different thicknesses and lengths and can vary in proportion to the bottle.

Also Note: For clear Worth flask form bottles with no molded decoration on the container but that have WORTH molded to the lower front as the only difference from these bottles, see Je-Reviens-5 Perfume Bottles.

Also Note: These bottles are known in at least 5 different heights ranging from approximately 8 cm to 24 cm.

Also Note: The bottle has been seen labeled for other fragrances including Je Reviens and Imprudence.

Also Note: Any bottle with the molded word CREATION on the underside is a post-war copy.

Also Note: Any bottle with a screw-on cap is a modern reproduction. These screw-caps are typically (but not always) shiny fluted cylinders. Sometimes they are shiny and not fluted and we have seen a couple of different shapes for the non-fluted caps. Every one of the bottles we've seen with a screw-cap has been molded LALIQUE to the underside with one highly questionable exception. If we ever see a convincing 2nd example like the exception, we'll update this page. It's beyond our purview, but we speculate these were made for Lalique or Worth by another glassmaker. Not knowing for sure, because of the LALIQUE molded signature, we've classified them as modern reproductions and not outside copies.

Also Note: You want a bottle you first determine is authentic, that has the correct stopper, with the molded R. LALIQUE signature to the underside, without the word CREATION and without a Lalique France engraved signature or any other engraved signature. Finally, noting that many Worth bottles have the fluid ounces they contain marked on the bottom, typically in the form 1 FL OZ, if the underside of the bottle has ANY out-of-place, unexpected, or unexplained molded letters, numbers, or words such as (these are just examples) HP, VN, NA, CHIBO, or ANY others, those will be the mark of another glassmaker or an indication the bottle was made by another glassmaker. So even if your bottle has the expected molded R. Lalique signature to the underside, if it has ANY unexpected unknown out-of-place molded letters, numbers or words, you should avoid the bottle as it was not produced with Rene Lalique et Cie molds. And you want a bottle without any condition issues. There are relatively a lot of these bottles out there and there's no reason to acquire one with issues. And of course you want a bottle and stopper that are all glass. If there is any plastic, cork, or metal, forget about it.
