Gwen Stefani, the singer and creative director of the fashion brand L.A.M.B., said that developing a perfume for her brand meant she had reached the big leagues of the industry. “It’s every designer’s dream to have a fragrance,” Gwen said.
And Kylie Minogue's scent Darling, a top-seller for Christmas in the UK and Australia, has solidified the pop princess's reputation as a style icon.
And it seems that the design of the bottle is just as important as the scent inside.
Modern day perfume bottles are expected to give the feel of the fragrance. The bottle is the first point of contact a person with a perfume, and often determines if the perfume will be purchased.
Conrad Biernacki on www.collecting20thcentury.com says that '...our evolving fascination with small, decorative and affordable vintage items is leading many collectors to perfume bottles. Much appreciated when brand-new, not only for the scents contained within them but for the beauty of their design, these bottles have the added bonus of still being functional today...'
And he gives this advice when looking for bottles to collect:
'...Condition and rarity are everything when it comes to perfume bottles. Check for scratches and chips. If the bottle has a paper label, it must be pristine. Caps, stoppers and applicators must be in perfect condition...'
