Thinking of a bottle of perfume from imagination to design, and then to sell, use, in the middle of countless people finally arrived in my hands, it has been walking a perfect track, once fragrant, leaving fragrant. If you can see its reconstruction of beauty and history, it is a work of art. From a famous perfume collector. Probably, people will have a qualitative trend from desire. You can feel the beauty and collect habits about beauty. I’ve seen people who collect lipstick, bottles and cans, and tea sets. Love these strange people who have a hobby of collecting and stealing beauty. You will never feel boring talking to them because their thinking tends to find beauty and steal beauty.

Development History Of Perfume Bottle Design In Centuries

1900-1910

During this period, the materials of perfume glass bottles were usually made of crystal. Decorated with gold and brass caps, typically cork stoppers are used as cork stoppers to prevent odour from spillover. When using it, dip them into the wrist and neck with something like a stick. The first spray perfume appeared.

1907

The first perfume spray is called “perfumizers”, which turns liquid perfume into a good spray. After the sprayer was born, a new industry emerged, and the manufacturers began to make all kinds of decorative ones. The most popular perfume bottle in 1907 is called DeVilbiss. The perfume bottle has a beautiful curve, and the top of the bottle is decorated with several glass flowers. Once the bottle was launched, some people believed that it would be very popular.

1920

Sweetheart emerges in an endless stream of bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The surprising thing is that during the first World War, American soldiers brought perfume from overseas to their sweethearts, thus increasing the demand for perfume. With the increase of perfume sales, American Perfume Companies sprung up, and they were combined with fashion designers, and new bottles emerged in an endless stream. Lentheric’s Miracle (1924), A. Euziere Atakor (1925), and three perfumes from Jean Patou (Le Sien, Amour-Amour, and Que Sais-Je) can fully reflect the characteristics of 1920 perfume bottle design in this era. Bottles, corks made of glass, labels made of paper. A simple design can give you more attention and make you naturally want to buy a bottle of innovative perfume from Coco Chanel.

1930

When the financial crisis came, perfume sales had a hitherto unknown decline. Many of the world’s perfume manufacturers have been forced to shut down, and those wonderful perfume bottles are temporarily disappearing. Complex handmade containers have emerged over the past decade and are now replaced by cheap, machine-made bottles. Some perfume companies choose inexpensive bottles that are produced in quantity and make attractive packaging on the exterior to attract consumers. These Coty perfumes from 30s are poured into a glass high heel shoe to attract eyeballs.

1940

Since the end of World War II in the middle of the 40s, the design of creative perfume bottles began to resurgence, but the styles became all the same, which has not been seen in the past ten years. These incredible bottles can be produced in large quantities by machines. At this time, it is often seen that different companies launch the same incredible bottle design, which can distinguish different brands by painting on the bottle or decorating with metal and plastic products. For example, Germaine Lecomte’s Soir de Fête is a very common bottle design at that time, but metal decorations and silk-lined boxes make this perfume feel decadent.

1950

The modern art movement has begun. Abstract Expressionism and surrealism have become mainstream in their own way. Artists have discovered that perfume customers are the most valuable in the world. The most prominent one is Salvador Dali, who designs bottles for fashion designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Marquay perfume company. For Marquay’s perfume called “Rock N Roll”, Dali chose the combination of abstract black and punk red as the whole theme, and boldly adopted a tag that resembles a magnetic tape. This design concept was at the forefront of popularity at that time. For Schiaparelli’s Le Roy Soleil perfume, Dali’s design concept is the golden sunset, which depicts a face with birds. The inspiration of the artist inspired Schiaparelli for decades. During this period, many companies used perfume bottles designed by artists, and Dior and Lancôme were among them. Other craftsmen are also trying to innovate. The Hatter Rose Valois has designed a set of perfumes for Marotte, which is made up of many small bottles. Each small bottle has different hat shapes.

1960

In the 1960s, some crafts and folk art ten years ago returned, and artisans and independent glassblowing studios began to increase. This upsurge has led to the emergence of some highly decorative and distinctive bottles, which are usually inspired by the fashion of the past decade (angular shapes and bright colors). Even Avon, a large cosmetics company, has been involved in nearly ten different fragrances, each with its unique bottle shape and color.

1970

In the 70s, women became strong and independent. Their perfume was like a hot fuel, which made musk popular in this era (for example, Musk of Houbigant). In the design of female perfume, metal decoration is adopted again. It appears neutral and practical: bottle stoppers are sometimes replaced by spiral covers, so that perfume splashes on the body rather than a pat in the desired position. These simple designs allow liberated modern women to integrate luxury into their busy lives.

1980

In the 80s of the last century, a revolutionary new concept was put forward: perfume is classified as combed products. With the introduction of built-in atomization (which is almost all the perfume you see on the market today), perfume has become truly portable for the first time. You can carry perfume with you, just like your lipstick, put it in your bag. Plastic has become the more commonly used bottle body material, which makes perfume more suitable for female users. Of course, we are talking about the 1980s. Gorgeous never left the theme of packaging design The bottle becomes more gorgeous, heavy, transparent or black glass geometry, golden metal cover, and many other bright details. Dior’s Poison perfume is an example. When it was launched in 1985, it was a dark purple round medicine bottle with a bottle stopper from crystal city.

1990

Even premium perfume is sold in drugstores, with cheap glass bottles and plastic bottles of perfume. With the development of the times, prices have become cheaper. Perfume bottles have become disposable items.

Nowadays

Labor and goods are available in all varieties. They are no longer as heavy as producers in the past. For example, colored coated glass and light plastic are available. Perfume manufacturers are making the best use of these materials to design bottles. You can find abstract glass, metal, plastic and even wooden containers. Bottles of all shapes and sizes contain imaginary flavors. More and more celebrities and fashion designers are involved in the design of perfume bottles. Complex and bold designs are very common nowadays. For example, the “Fame” of Lady Gaga uses an oval bottle and a golden beetle-shaped cover. When you spray perfume, you can see the black perfume very clearly. Nicki Minaj even made perfume bottles exactly like her Pink Friday.
