(Cue a picture of an angry feline.)<br /><br />While I'm a sucker for pretty bottles, I like them bottle-shaped, preferably rectangular, or, if it need to be, sculptural like Parure or the Art Nouveau styles. I can't stand most of the Guerlain bottles, or, well, most of the bottles. They often look like something the creative department of the sales department made Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451092262381231105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-11298563093108615662013-11-07T08:32:48.606+00:002013-11-07T08:32:48.606+00:00AMC,

I also prefer the rather cleaner lines and not much bling (Lutens or Hermessence bottles are ace as far as I'm concerned). <br />BUT that said, the bottle, the actual bottle does complete the concept and the experience of the fragrance. It acts as a link between the senses: tactile and visual coupled to the scent of course. <brPerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-56839108701531036932013-11-07T08:28:45.409+00:002013-11-07T08:28:45.409+00:00Erika,

They first introduce the full blinged out bottles and presentation and then when interest has been sufficiently piqued they add the travel refills, the plain vials, the discovery sets etc. Only they don't advertise those, but they leave them Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-41314107700373257742013-11-07T08:24:56.309+00:002013-11-07T08:24:56.309+00:00JW,

I think they cannot surpass the -ahem- imaginative shape of the Rochas Man bottle :-D<br />But their repackaging leaves something to be desired in that regard, no? Fragrantica has the designs in their database, they're not pretty. At least they're honest though and mention the date on box. <br /><br />These kitschy Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-13077254769732532272013-11-07T05:08:43.161+00:002013-11-07T05:08:43.161+00:00I'm from the milk carton end of town so I have...I'm from the milk carton end of town so I have nothing to offer by way of fanciful bottles. My bottle appreciation tends to be for the plainer sort and I have a fondness for the 30 ml size of SJP's Lovely. It's about the same size and shape as an egg - one of the most beautiful objects in nature - and indeed I remember reading that an egg was used as a reference in the bottle design annemariecnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-40461217448475056792013-11-07T03:41:05.634+00:002013-11-07T03:41:05.634+00:00Not fanciful in the least, but I'm lucky enoug...Not fanciful in the least, but I'm lucky enough to have my great-grandmother's full flacon of Eau de Coty.

Until fairly recently, if you wanted a refill, you had to have the glass bottle and even the refills were not cheap.

Some were truly lovely and tasteful and I kept them on a fancy, gold metal- framed, oval mirror tray in my bedroom on a vintage dressing table. I think I still have a few of them, and now want to rescue them from storage.

Gres Cabaret with it's flames is another favorite. We all need more fanciful fun in our lives during these dark times, don't we? I like the kitschy novelties you featured. Avon had some great ones back in the day. rosaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08543786960335162711noreply@blogger.com
