How much Bling do you need?
11 years ago
The bottle enhances the feeling for what is in it. How much does the bottle determine whether you buy the scent?
For instance, Tauer Perfumes are very well crafted but come in very simple bottles, I wish for more glamour, but buy them anyway.
Judith Leiber makes glamorous glitzy handbags, has a few perfumes, I don't know what is in them, never tested.
And now, the magic of the Orient (the grass greener on the other side of the fence) ... Swiss Arabian have very ornate bottles, showing the eastern culture. A few oils I have tried and found satisfactory, but those came in humble 3 ml sample bottles.
All well and good. If the perfume is intended as a gift, I suppose a gorgeous bottle makes the gift even better.
But for personal use? My bottles are stored, out of sight, cool and dark, in drawers. A decant of beauty is filled in a Travalo for the handbag and nobody sees it.
So, BLING is for marketing and a magnet to buy, buy ... actually very little practical value.
