Jean Paul Gaultier once said, ‘the bottle must exceed the stage of container to place itself into an object of art: you look at it, you take it, you touch it, you carry it.’ These one-of-a-kind perfume bottles do just that. Timeless and exquisite, they remain standing on your dressing table long after the fragrance is gone

ISSEY MIYAKE: L’EAU D’ISSEY, EAU DE PARFUM, 1992
Stretching up towards the sky, this luminous bottle has eternal appeal. The contemporary glass rectangle with its wide base makes a powerful statement which contrasts with the lightness of the streamlined grey metal cap.

THIERRY MUGLER: ANGEL, EAU DE PARFUM, 1992
Designed by Mugler himself, this star shaped 75 ml blue-tinted bottle was born of his fascination with stars. Made of lead free glass, each bottle is semi-handmade and refillable enabling customers to keep their bottle forever!

VERSACE: BRIGHT CRYSTAL, EAU DE TOILETTE, 2006
This luminous glass bottle is designed to especially enhance the pink delicacy of the fragrance and comes with a gorgeous crystal cap that is multifaceted and dazzles like a diamond.

NINA RICCI: L’AIR DU TEMPS, EAU DE TOILETTE, 1948
Perched on the top of this pedestal bottle is a pair of doves, the emblem of “L’Air du Temps” since its creation in 1948 to symbolise a peaceful era and an enlightened soul as the perfume was created just after the Second World II.

CHANEL NO 5, EAU DE PARFUM, 1921
As minimal as a laboratory flask with its sharp lines and rounded angles, this timeless bottle designed by Mademoiselle Chanel retains its stunningly contemporary aesthetics.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER: CLASSIQUE, EAU DE PARFUM, 1993
A bottle that represents a very sensual female bust dressed in couture amber lace for absolute seduction, the precious corset relies on refinement and distinction to make itself irresistible.

GIVENCHY: ORGANZA, EAU DE PARFUM, 1996
Inspired by an organza dress created by John Galliano, this gorgeous bottle designed by Serge Manseau is tall and elegant with the back shaped like a half circle and the front as an engraved curved female figure. The lid which tops the bottle is gold in colour and shaped like a cat-walk style hat.

MOSCHINO: I LOVE LOVE, EAU DE TOILETTE, 2005
Inspired by Olive Oyl from the Popeye series, this bottle is an explosion of colours. The bright orange top with the opaque blue bottle with its amusing graffiti makes this design fun and vibrant.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER: LE MALE, EAU DE TOILETTE, 1995
This innovatively designed bottle representing the torso of a man and packed in a cylindrical metal box evokes a fragrance that is as cheeky and sensual as the bottle.
