There are several perfume brands available in the market. There are a variety of perfumes to choose from. Perfumes may vary from being fruity and floral to being romantic and rebellious and also being very overpowering. Perfumes are worn mainly to enhance one’s personality and complete the look as well as match the occasion whether it is professional or casual. A perfume must be very carefully chosen not to overpowering.
Be it for any reason perfumes are a unanimous choice as far as “gift” is concerned. Women wear perfumes when they are out on a date. Also they wear it to match the occasion. While on other hand men use fragrances from a different reason then just to enhance their natural body odor and that is as a disinfectant after shaving in order to close the pores and heal any eventual cuts. Thus both men and women make extensive use of the perfumes.
However much is said about perfumes but the bottle also holds same importance. Especially when perfume is meant for gifting purpose, the look, the shape of the bottle is of extreme importance. So many a time perfumes is not only judged upon its fragrance but also upon the look of the bottle. The perfume might smell great but the packing is ordinary then the bottle won’t be given a chance. But at the same, if the perfume is not too great and packing is attractive, then the perfume will sell like hot cakes.
Mostly all the perfumes smell similar only a minute difference.
A particular ingredient might be more in one perfume and lees in some other perfume. Unless one has a background in it nobody can spot the exact difference. Here Bottle plays an important role. Thus, the artistically designed bottle and packaging of perfume makes them stand out from amongst the rest. Some perfume shave beautifully designed bottle, which have become a trademark of the fragrance.
A potential buyer of the perfume is very much first attracted towards the artistically designed bottle. And then it also depends upon the perfume as well. Initially the bottle first conveys the first impression of the fragrance.
Perfumes companies spend a huge amount on the designing, the color and the material of the bottle. In other words A large chunk of the budget of launching a perfume goes into bottle deign, colors, type face and of course the name of the perfume
Some Classic bottles:
The best examples that can be thought of when considering the bottle are those of Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes. The silhouette of a man and woman in deep aqua-blue and pale dusty pink respectively gives an entirely new definition to the perfume. The tintype packaging that houses the Paul Gaultier perfume bottle just makes it even better.
Perfumes bottles thus are an important aspect as far as sales of perfume is concerned. They do have a say in enticing the first time buyer. It may not result in repeat purchases but definitely help in appealing and attracting the first time buy. However it largely depends upon the perfume as well. If to do not deliver as promised then sales do get affected.
