Purple Perfume Bottle
From LoveToKnow Makeup
A purple perfume bottle is useful for a variety of purposes. Not only does it look stunning on a vanity, it also makes a beautiful gift for an avid perfume collector.
Some Background on Perfume Bottles
Whether small and delicate, or large and ostentatious, perfume bottles are often resoundingly breathtaking. Possibly no other vanity accessory comes quite as close to accomplishing what the perfume bottle does with its unique designs, unconventional methods of crafting, and variety of uses.
It's quite obvious that a perfume bottle is used first and foremost to store fragrances. The most widely recognized bottles are those that hold some of the world's most well known fragrances: the door-shaped, red-topped Red Door bottle from Elizabeth Arden, the alluring, star-shaped bottle for Angel by Thierry Mugler and the curvy, artsy bottles used for Jean-Paul Gaultier's fragrances are prime examples.
Well known or not, however, fragrance bottles hold an allure all their own. It's no surprise, then, that they have their own special place in a market booming with fragrances aplenty. Empty perfume bottles are available in a variety of styles and for different purposes.
- Some serve simply for convenience's sake.
- They're wonderful for carrying a small decant of your favorite fragrance and popping in a purse or gym bag.
- Typically, these bottles are no larger than one ounce and feature a sprayer.
Other bottles are more fragile and are definitely not appropriate for popping in a handbag! These styles are revered more for their beauty than their functionality. Many women use perfume bottles simply as decorative accessories, whether on their bedroom vanities or in other parts of the home, such as powder rooms and living rooms.
Available in various colors and made of strikingly different materials, perfume bottles exemplify elegance in a way that few other accessories truly can. Shiny, gleaming, matte, translucent, opaque, lightweight, heavy – no matter what its particular traits may be, a perfume bottle is sure to delight even the most casual fragrance fan with its beauty.
The Beauty of the Purple Perfume Bottle
There's something absolutely divine about the color purple. It suggests femininity, but in a more refined, elegant manner than a salacious red or a girlish pink. It's associated with royalty, which lends the color an automatic edge of reverence. It's also more versatile when paired with other colors, and can look both casual and dressy, depending on its design.
An empty purple perfume bottle is an outstanding gift idea for that hard-to-please individual who seems to have everything. It's unique, but not so unusual that it can't be utilized in some way. It also allows you, as a gift-giver, to seek out a style that reflects the recipient's personality and tastes in some way. With hundreds upon hundreds of bottles available in this regal, pretty color, there is undoubtedly something for everyone.
Consider one of these selections for anyone on your list – or, of course, yourself!
- Rose-Decorated Bottle: Feminine without going overboard, this bottle is decorated with a modest floral motif and studded with discreet rhinestones. The top is also purple, shaped like a rose and studded with a rhinestone.
- Tutu Bottle: A budding ballerina shouldn't be without this precious perfume bottle. Dressed in a frothy purple tutu, this crystal bottle is definitely an attention-grabber.
- Miniature Clock Bottle: And now for something completely different! Purveyors of the highly unusual will flock to this crystal perfume bottle, perhaps for a reason slightly apart from its beauty. This bottle features a quartz clock that actually works. It's the perfect alternative to a basic desk clock!
Famous Purple Bottles
If you're a fragrance fiend, you can probably picture a bottle's design as soon as you hear the name. Some of these purple bottles may ring a bell, while others may be completely new to you.
Elizabeth Taylor's Passion
Perhaps the fragrance with the most popular purple bottle of them all, Passion is as relevant today as it was the day it was released. The deeply intense purple color was inspired by the color of Taylor's own violet eyes, and the bottle itself is a testament to the actress's own passion for strength in femininity.
Vera Wang Princess
One of the newest scents to make a splash in recent years is Vera Wang's Princess. It's not just by virtue of its name that this scent is ideal for women who love sweet, girlish fragrances. The clear violet heart-shaped bottle is a reflection of the fragrance's feminine notes (which include apple, dark chocolate, pink frosting, pink guava and vanilla, among others).
Givenchy Very Irresistible Sensual Velvet
It's sensual, indeed. This juicy rose fragrance is held in a lengthy, deep purple bottle with a luxurious velvet rose wrapped around it. The rose is removable and can easily be worn as a fun, delicate accessory. It's especially appropriate during fall and winter!
