Spring Perfumes - Scents of Design

Excerpts from a fragrance editorial, Bottle Service, in Cosmopolitan Magazine, May 2013 issue.

This season, perfume bottles are as VIP as the notes inside them. "Just by looking at the design of a bottle or color of its juice, you get a strong sense of how it's going to smell," says Dawn Goldworm, scent director for 12.29, a branding firm that designs custom scents for hotels, events, and more. Want something super sensuous? Look for amber liquids and trendy black-and-gold packaging. (D&G's Desire was designed and enscribed in gold by Stefano Gabbana himself.) More cues: green-colored juices typically smell fresh and clean; pink accents signal a floral, feminine fragrance; and bright bottles indicate a unique, playful vibe. "We're also drawn to bottles that reflect our styles," Goldworm says. "So displaying them offers a glimpse into your personality."
