My passion for perfumes goes beyond the fragrances themselves: I am enchanted by the charm of the bottles. Between vintage markets and online auctions, I’m always looking for something truly unique. Bottles are not just containers but symbols of artistic expression and innovation in the perfume industry. Many have left an indelible mark on our memory, such as Lolita Lempicka’s whimsical apple-shaped design or Fendi’s signature Asja. Each bottle tells a story, reflecting the spirit of its time and the creativity of its designer. At the dawn of the twentieth century, as perfumery entered the era of industrialization, brands began to collaborate with artists to create bottles that were true works of art. Alphonse Mucha, Hector Guimard and René Lalique were among the artists enlisted to lend their talents to this undertaking. Renowned designers such as André Groult, Lucien Gaillard, Henri Hamm and Maurice Dépinoix also made significant contributions to the perfume industry, infusing their creations with the elegance and sophistication of the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements.From intricate Art Nouveau designs to Viard’s innovative figured caps, each bottle is a testament to the marriage of art and perfume. And let’s not forget the role of glassmakers such as Baccarat and Brosse, who helped bring these designs to life with their mastery.
