Secrets of Perfume Bottles 2

There are some brands out there with some really fabulous bottles and in this post I would like to highlight just a few of my favorites:

Thierry Mugler

Thierry Mugler’s avant-garde style has been successfully translated into each and every bottle design. His bottles create a touch of nobility.A jewel,talisman or curved flask - each bottle enhances the Muglerian scents. There is something space-age about the designs and they emulate the fantasy of the Mugler brand. For Mugler the bottle is a vision -crafting a bluecrystal star for Angel took more than 2 years to create.

Guerlain

Guerlain has always attached great importance to its bottles, which are like jewels, works of art, sculptures with rounded forms and precious, gilded colours. I discovered a droplet of gold in Idylle's bottle. A form at once simple and complete, a feminine form with a woman’s shapely hips, a form that soars like a tower, full of grace and sensuality.

Insolence bottle was created by French sculptor - Serge Mansau, who created theas three stacked, tilting half spheres, resembling a spinning top or spiral in movement to fit the fragnance's "olfactive spiral"structure.People had divided opinions on the look. Some found it innovative and beautifully shaped, while others thought it was too futuristic for Guerlain, or even a bit silly, often mentioned as the "dishes in the kitchen sink" bottle. Cardiet Design, a Parisian firm, filed a lawsuit alleging that Guerlain had copied one of their designs, but Guerlain maintained that the Insolence bottle was inspired by a sculpture Serge Mansau made in 1973, and Cardiet Design later dropped the case.
