An attractive perfume bottle speaks out luxury and good packaging can add a lot of value to the perfume. In high-end sectors, aesthetics also seems to increase the sales. So, a well-designed perfume bottle allows luxury perfume manufacturers to gain more profits and establish a strong foothold in the market.

Composition of a Perfume Bottle

The shape of the perfume bottle largely depends on the target audience. If a bottle has a feminine shape, it is generally for females. If the shape is generic, then it is either unisex or for males. Luxury perfume bottles would often resemble designs of precious stones and real jewels, thus evoking elegance and beauty.

These days, due to the availability of cheap labour and materials like lightweight plastics and colour-coated glass, perfumers can experiment with bottle design. You will find plastic, metal, glass, and wooden vessels holding all kinds of scents. It is not uncommon to find perfume bottles these days with bold and complex features.

The image of the bottle also depends on the type of fragrance. For example, if a perfume has a jasmine smell, then it is a great idea do add jasmine flowers to the design and colour of the bottle. If it contains essential oils, it should have a corresponding colour, ranging from light to golden. Some perfume bottles, especially those containing grapefruit oil, have intense shades. Perfumes containing root and wood extracts are mostly green or deep brown.

The Importance of Packaging in The Area of Perfume Business

Today, the perfume industry makes thousands of launches every year, which makes packaging quite important. When competing with brands with insane marketing campaigns and huge budgets, it is tough for a new perfume brand to stand out. Although many people will tell you it’s all about what’s inside the bottle, the appearances matter a lot. The first impression you make on a customer is extremely vital. No one would even want to try your perfume if it does not have an attractive bottle.

The first impressions are mostly visual when it comes to beauty products and perfumes, so packaging plays a huge role in it. It could be the other way round as well. The assistant at the perfume shop counter gives you a smelling strip and you immediately like the fragrance. Then they show you the bottle and it looks flimsy with a quickly-applied label on it. It is only natural to feel disappointed in such a situation.

When it comes to luxury products like perfumes, customers have certain expectations. The quality of packaging and the design of the bottle are vital because they make the consumers feel confident about their purchase. Most mass-market consumers are not scent connoisseurs and they mostly rely on branding and packaging to feel like they have got some value from the purchase.

How Does Packaging Complement the Brand?

Packaging helps perfume companies get their image right so that they can portray the brand correctly. The brand’s first contact with a customer happens through packaging, so it needs to portray a good image of the brand in order to influence the customer’s purchasing behaviour.

Lots of people look at the packaging as a sign of good quality and they often expect an attractive package to contain a good product. Brands must pay attention to the packaging, as perfume bottles are often kept on display in a cabinet, behind a bar, or on a dressing table.

Every brand wants their customer to be intrigued by the attractive packaging and try out the product after taking the first look at it. Good packaging makes the customer desire the product. It also encourages them to purchase the product again in the near future.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Perfume Bottle

No Plastic Containers

Overusing plastic has led to environmental problems, but there are many other reasons why you should avoid plastic perfume containers. Some perfumes have concentrated extracts that can eat through plastic. Additionally, the adsorbent quality of plastic is less than glass, so the texture and the scent of the perfume does not go even after washing.

High-Quality Glass

There are countless glass manufacturers throughout the world and the quality of glass has quite a wide range. While choosing a perfume bottle, make sure you check the inside and outside surface. Check for imperfections and cracks. The weight-size ratio should also be checked. A compact bottle that feels dense in your hands should be reliable.

Airtight Seal Cover

As a general rule, perfumes should not be exposed to air. Otherwise, they may get contaminated, which can lead to oxidization. Thus, you should always make sure the perfume bottles have airtight caps. If the bottle cap is of poor quality, the contents might drip and get wasted. You should try and contain the urge to take a whiff by popping the cap too often. This will minimize the perfume’s exposure to air.

Different Types of Perfume Bottle Materials

Since 50 BC, when the Syrians developed the glass blowing techniques, bottle construction made huge advancements. The Romans made some widely acclaimed scent bottles from transparent glass decorations featuring coloured glass. Enamelware and metal also appeared in the fragrance marketplace later on.

From the 18th to the 19th Century, porcelain perfume bottles were all the rage in the Western world. The way in which they sold the perfume partially influenced the boom in bottle production. While all the above-mentioned materials did create some beautiful perfume bottles, none of them could match the glass.

The reason why most people prefer glass as a fragrance bottle material is that it does not react with the fragrant oil, thus letting them maintain their purity. Moreover, with glass perfume bottles, you can also seal the stopper tightly, which ensures that not even a drop of the perfume spills out.

Glass also creates a more sophisticated appearance in comparison to metal and plastic. In transparent variants, manufacturers usually prioritize the elimination of bubbles. For coloured versions, however, ombre effects are quite popular. For consistent quality and quick turnaround, forming and blowing are the most prevalent techniques to be applied.

The caps and dispensers for the perfume bottles are usually made of Zamac, wood, Surlyn, acrylic, K-resin, aluminium, ABS, and PP. Atomizers also use the same materials, but they don’t use glass.

Standard Perfume Bottle Capacities

You may be wondering about the different sizes for perfume bottles. Perfumes are sold either in millilitres or fluid ounces, depending on where you are buying them from. This can cause some confusion, so it is good to know about the common sizes for perfume bottles as well as the equivalent measures.

If the size of the perfume bottle is not clear, you need to check the label on the bottle, which is usually located towards the bottom. The design, shape, and colour of the bottle may veil the perfume’s true volume.

The standard perfume bottle capacities are as follows:

• 0.05 FL. OZ. or 1.5 mL – 15 sprays
• 0.17 FL. OZ. or 5 mL – 50 sprays
• 0.5 FL. OZ. or 15 mL – 150 sprays
• 0.8 FL. OZ. or 25 mL – 250 sprays
• 1 FL. OZ. or 30 mL – 300 sprays
• 1.4 FL. OZ. or 40 mL – 400
• 1.7 FL. OZ. or 50 mL – 500
• 2 FL. OZ. or 60 mL – 750
• 2.5 FL. OZ. or 75 mL – 800
• 2.7 FL. OZ. or 80 mL – 900
• 3 FL. OZ. or 90 mL – 1000
• 3.4 FL. OZ. or 100 mL – 1250
• 4.2 FL. OZ. or 125 mL – 2000

The UK FL. OZ. and the US FL. OZ. are slightly different. When the bottle just says FL. OZ., you can assume it refers to the US measure. The UK measure is usually explicitly mentioned. The difference is as follows:

• 3.4 U.S. FL. OZ. = 100.55 ml
• 3.4 U.K. FL. OZ. = 96.60 ml

Measuring Perfume Sizes

You find perfumes being sold in a wide variety of bottle sizes. The size of the bottle indicates the amount of fluid contained in a vial, decant, or bottle of scent. You generally measure them in ounces or millilitres. When the measurement is in ounces, it is indicated by fl oz. or simply oz.

The unit of measurement for perfumes vary from country to country, but as most countries use the metric system, you will commonly find millilitres as the unit of choice. Some bottles do have both the units mentioned, however, for convenience.

It should be noted that the fl oz for the UK and US are not the same, but they are quite close. There is a little difference between the American and British fluid ounces. 3.4 UK fl oz. is not the same as 3.4 US fl oz.

The difference is quite small, however. While 3.4 UK fluid ounce equals to 96.60 ml, 3.4 US fluid ounce equals to 100.55 ml. This means there is a difference of just a few sprays between the American and the British measure. Bottles using the UK measure usually mention it on the label, so if it doesn’t mention the UK, then you can assume it uses the US measure.

Common Perfume Bottle Sizes

Here are some of the most common perfume bottle sizes you will find in the market:

• 0.05 fl oz – 1.5 ml: When you go to a perfume store and ask for a sample vial, these are the ones you usually get, provided the store policy allows the staff to do it. This is also the size you get when you buy samples from the web. Other common sample sizes are 2, 2.5, and 3 ml.
• 0.17 fl oz – 5 ml
• 0.5 fl oz – 15 ml: These are the typical tall and thin purse sprays. Other common purse sizes are 10 ml and 8 ml.
• 0.8 fl oz – 25 ml
• 1 fl oz – 30 ml
• 1.4 fl oz – 40 ml
• 1.7 fl oz – 50 ml
• 2 fl oz – 60 ml
• 2.5 fl oz – 75 ml
• 2.7 fl oz – 80 ml
• 3 fl oz – 90 ml
• 3.4 fl oz – 100 ml
• 4.2 fl oz – 125 ml

The Best Perfume Size to Buy

Fragrances do not come cheap and it may cost you a few hundred dollars or more. But this does not mean that all of them are costly. Some of the popular brands cost you a significant amount of money, but their price is usually worth it, as a great smelling fragrance helps you stand out and make good impressions on any occasion.

You will find all these sweet fragrances in different bottle sizes. While 50 ml and 100 ml are the most common ones, bigger bottles are also available, the largest being 250 ml. Here are a few factors you must consider before choosing a particular perfume bottle size:

• Frequency of use: You should get the size as per the frequency at which you would be using it. You may buy a bigger bottle if you plan to use the fragrance regularly every day. But if you plan to use it occasionally only, then you should go for a smaller bottle.

Only a few sprays of your perfume would be enough to keep you smelling good the entire day, because of which these bottles usually last long. But if you only apply it once in a while, you may get stuck with the same perfume for several years, and gradually it may even lose its fragrance. So, buy a big bottle if you use regularly, and buy a small bottle if you use it occasionally.

• Whether buying first time or not: If you buying a particular perfume for the first time, then you should always go for a smaller size, preferably 30 ml or less. Maybe you’d feel like the fragrance of a perfume after trying it at the store. But you must remember that the smell of perfume changes at different times of the day and it can be difficult to tell if a perfume works for you or not on the first try.

You will get the right idea only after keeping it on your body for a couple of days and noticing how it reacts with your body oils and sweat. Go for a sample and take your time to see how the scent works out for you. Once you are satisfied, you can go for a bigger bottle to save money.

• Easy to Carry: The size of bottle that you choose also depends on whether you are going to keep it in your cupboard and apply it in the morning only, or you want to carry it around in your purse and spray whenever you feel like. A bigger bottle can be kept in the cupboard, but if you plan to carry it around, you should go for an easy-to-carry, leakproof bottle.

If you are buying an old favourite of yours, it is wise to choose the biggest bottle you can find, as the price becomes cheaper per volume. As long as you store it in a cool place and away from direct sunlight, the perfume will last you a year or so.
