Too many times we hear the phrase, “Do not judge a book by its cover” and boy oh boy do I do that a lot. This phrase also applies to perfumes as the bottling of a perfume gives an inkling of what the perfume is about. Perfume bottles are vessels made to hold perfumes and other scented fragrances. Perfume bottles can also be called falcon, perfume atomizers, perfume decanters, perfume vials, atomizer bottles, or spray bottles. The earliest example is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 BC.

In modern times, the bottling of a perfume is as important as the scent of the perfume. Perfume design bottles that are in line with the aura the perfume fragrance creates. There is a play on shapes, colour, designs and creativity.

Glass is a common pick for perfume bottles although you’d find plastic and aluminium bottles too. Glass is a good option for perfume as there are no chemicals that could potentially seep out of the packaging and interfere with the scent. Glass also gives perfumes a luxurious look. Perfumes coming in round and oval shapes mostly attract women, while bulky rectangular and cylindrical ones have a masculine fashion.

I am extremely attracted to the bottling of perfumes. Not only do they look good on your dresser or shelves, but you also tend to associate a fragrance with its bottle and that becomes etched in your mind. A bottle design is part of the perfume’s identity.

To win more hearts in the marketplace, manufacturers employ creativity in designing their bottles to make them as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Many perfume collectors fall into the category that make their picks based on perfume bottling. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Amber Scholl collect perfume bottles. A bottle design doesn’t mean it would gain more thumbs up if the scent contained in it is not top-notch, however, it could go a long way in enticing and luring customers for their first blind buy and if the scent contained therein is excellent, be sure the perfume will gain popularity.
