Favorite Bottle designs

We talk a lot about the juice in the bottle, but what about the bottle itself?
There are some great designs out there as well as some baffling ones.
I'll give you one that I think is cool.

Marc Jacobs Bang

If you've never seen the bottle in real life, it is shaped so that the middle is indented.
It looks like someone punched the middle in.

I love Castle Forbes' aftershave bottles.

The 'flask' version that Dunhill used for "Dunhill Man" (one of my faves, BTW) and a few others really appeals to me, with a nice heft in both bottle and cap.

By Kilian, Tom Ford, and Amouage have the classiest packaging I have seen. By Kilian probably edges out as tops.

I'm a minimalist, and somewhat of a traditionalist. . . I like a bottle that looks like a bottle, that has a lip around the neck so I can pick the bloody thing up from the cupboard under the sink.

My favourite - and you'll laugh - are the L'Occitane bottles:

Kiljoy, aren't I?

I also like a simple bottle design like the L'Occitane bottle, or the Floris bottles, and the Penhaligon's are also acceptable. Personally, I do not care at all for fancy bottles, they are often very hard to hold when used, take up a lot of space in the cabinet and add extra cost to the juice.

I think the Royal Lyme bottle and packaging looks awesome, too bad I don't like the juice thats inside of it.

There's nothing wrong with simple designs.
The interesting thing is why you like it.
If simple works for you that's great!

Another one I like is from the good people at Fragonard.
It's aluminum and refillable.
You can buy the juice in simple bulk packaging and fill up your aluminum bottle.

I always feel like I should layer Armani Attitude Extreme and Cuba Paris Gold, based on their bottle designs.

**maxman** · 08-04-2011, 11:26 AM

they do make a pair, don't they?

That reminds me, Attitude is a nice fragrance.
I wonder where if I can pick some up for cheap.
Nice than the Attitude Extreme if you ask me.

I guess I am a minimalist/utilitarian. My favorite bottle design is a rectangular bottle with sprayer at top center like this:

This gives me easy control of the juice and it is a classic shape.

I am a fan of most chanel bottles, especially Allure Homme Sport.

Sex Panther by Odeon. Nothing like a cologne that growls when you open it! "It's got bit of real panther, so you know it's good."

Guerlain's Coriolan, named after the Roman general Gaius Marcus Coriolanus, has a bottle designed to conjure the image of a soldier. Great juice, too.
