Secrets of the Perfume Bottles

A major part of the allure of a fragrance is actually found in the perfume bottles, not only in the scent. The marketing gurus and the collectors know that true scent pleasure arrives in a highly attractive container.
Perfume bottles - offered in a variety of sizes, colors, and materials - reflect the personality of the scent and invariably draw the attention of consumers who are attracted to the packaging. 
The bottle's personality is just as significant as that of the fragrance and can be just as responsible for overall sales. For those who have not even tested the perfume, the bottle itself can be the selling point; the thing that prompts them to try the perfume initially. Rare materials, designer presentation, sophisticated ranges - nothing is left to chance in the quest to tease the senses and create the illusion. Limited editions and vintage versions also play a significant role in enabling timeless scents to constantly renew their image and acquire new devotees.


Few Key Points to consider about Perfume Bottles:
Importance of Branding
o    The perfume bottle's design serves to communicate the product's entire brand. A recognizable bottle instantly identifies the scent.
Attraction
o    Perfume bottles are made to stand out from the crowd. Using bright colors, sleek shapes, beautiful glass work and attractive packaging, bottles help catch a customer's eye.
Why Glass?
o    Most high-end fragrances are sold in glass bottles. Glass keeps a scent contained, and can be sculpted into a variety of beautiful designs.

The Advertising - Guerlain





Printed ads
Guerlain as we can see in some examples of adverts, differently than Chanel, emphasises more sex appeal in advertising to draw interest for purpose of sale, this includes pretty woman with nudity. They have featured provocative images to appeal to repressed sexual desires, which are thought to carry a stronger emotional load mainly in rich markets.
It is used public figures to promote its perfumes, such as Hillary Swank and Gabrielle Lazure, famous actresses, which personality represents romantic ness, mistery and sensuality, attributes or characteristics that can match Guerlain’s brand.
The positioning phrases of each of their perfumes, brings different aspects such as attributes of nature “Inspired by nature, created by Guerlain”, using famous actresses to incentivate the identification of the costumers with the perfume “Dare to be yourself”, “I am Shalimar”, and emphazising the sensuality, sex appeal “Body and Soul”.
Colours used are soft, not very bright, representing a warm but sophisticated feeling to the brand.



INTERNET- Online advertising
Guerlain, even though the images are presenting luxury, exclusiveness in a conservative way, but yet a warmer feeling, the website not only informs about its perfumes, goes further in order to maintain a fresh image and closer to customers, as a differentiation attribute, it gives you the option to create or personalize your fragrance and as well as the bottle.
Additionaly, maybe as part of becoming one of the brands of the strong luxury brands group, has went into the social network, applying the Facebook link into their website.
As we can see, now even one of the oldest brands in perfumes, has surrended into the globalized world that we are into. This brand has made one step forward, to keep the pace of this constantly changing market.


Tv adverts:
As you could see from the printed ads, Guerlain uses a more explicit image of sexuality, in one of the TV commercials all what is seen is a beatiful woman showing her nudity in a sensual way, at the end you can see a little perfum bottle of Shalimar... its all about the senses...
Take a look at Guerlain's television advert for France:
