First, bold use of new materials, new technologies, new forms
From the development history of perfume containers, people have been exploring the use of various materials to make perfume containers. In the beginning, the Egyptians used stone containers to make various shapes of containers containing perfume, such as round-belted bottles, heavy tall bottles, etc., are open and sealed with flat wooden stoppers or cloth balls. Various stone materials were also used to make these vessels, with alabaster being the largest proportion. Greek artisans made a series of ceramic containers containing perfumes, which were designed according to the characteristics of the contents. For example, the containers for fragrance oil and perfume are different. And the Greeks were good at making bionic containers to hold perfume in. Around the sixth century AD, small molded pottery bottles were invented, and at first they often imitated the image of a human head. Glass has always been an expensive material, to the 16th century, Venetian craftsmen learned to blow glass, glass can be made into many shapes, opal glass, gold and silver wire glass, etc., also developed, perfume containers become more and more beautiful.
With the increase in the hardness of glass, glass can be cut, carved, colored, and inlaid, so that glass containers are more than traditional forms. The French learned these glass-making techniques and made many Venetian style glass bottles of perfume. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, industrial production led to the mass production of glass bottles and lower prices, giving birth to many famous perfume manufacturers, such as GelleFreres, Guerlain, Lubin, Millot, Rigaud, Roger and Rog er&Gallet, Ed Pinaud, L.T. Piver, etc., standardized simple containers are balanced by increasingly complex and delicate labels, at the beginning of the label is just a pure commodity note, by the 19th century, the perfume label has become a romantic imagination of the picture, colorful flower bouquets, distant pastoral scenery that will appear in a dream… Of course, the label also reflects the events of the time, with the man of the hour and the bright Stars do publicity. Then, a series of design movements such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco began to occur, and perfume packaging became more artistic and colorful with the new design movement.
Today, for French designers, glass alone is a material can produce ceramic, crystal, marble, corrosion and other material effects, Bohemia, Italy Milan, Maldi and other exotic, color is also very rich, there are red, green, blue, gold, amber, violet, purple and other colors, capacity scalability is greater. They are also good at combining different materials, such as glass with metal and plastic. In short, French designers are good at using various materials and dare to use new materials, new technologies,New forms to design perfume packaging. For example, Lancome made “Poeme” perfume, small bottle, glass Glassy, transparent, smooth, shiny, is a quiet feminine shape, it symbolizes the female chest Part, its closing system is very strong, all pure geometric lines, made of polyethylene, completely gas Press tight, perfect combination of horizontal and vertical lines. The lid has three parts, pure gold, To match the color of the perfume, the material is very strong, not easy to scratch, and the whole lid is very It’s light and not easy to break. The perfume combines glass and plastic, indicating that the perfume wants to adapt The latest technology reduces energy consumption, protects the environment, and uses recyclable and lightweight substances.
