I gave you a wrong e-mail address to respond when I asked you where you had found a place to order the Perfume Jicky by Guerlain. Here it is : Lapetitechaloupe@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Lea

You mentioned that you had ordered Eau de Parfum Jicky by Guerlain and by mistake they sent you the Parfum. I have been unsuccessful in locating the Parfum and would love to know where you ordered it from. Please let me know! Thank you,

Please reply to Lachaloupe@aol.com,

Thank you.

Yes, agree that the Delrae bottles are nicely done, and the old Guerlain boxes, especially Shalimar, are lovely.

Caron has some nice boxes too, although since I've thrown them away, I can't remember which perfumes…

Interesting; you take packaging much more seriously than I do. You're right, I don't like the MPG faux jewel, but I do buy the bottles (or one of them, anyway).

And while I understand the esthetic behind the Frederic Malle bottles, they are far from my favorites. If I was going to display my bottles, these might end up in a cupboard anyway

No one seem to have mentioned DelRae bottles, which I think are comfortingly chunky yet simple and elegant. I do love old-fashioned chunky bottles, so Crown Perfumery would be another example of what I think is nice. Of course, L'Heure Bleue and Mitsouko are beautiful too. I generally don't like minimalist, so even though Parfum 06130 Yuzu Rouge is my HG, the bottle bothers me no end.

Sometimes boxes are really attractive, my favourite is probably Madame de Rochas, the one with gold lacing all over it. And those old wooden Guerlain boxes…to die for.

i've said some of this in other posts, but have to comment again! i am the rare person who finds the bottle as important as the scent. there have been times when i've bought scents i liked whose bottles i didn't like, and even though i wanted to i just never ended up wearing them because i didn't want to keep them around.

i think the MPG bottles are absoultely stunning, but like NST i hate the tacky faux gem on top and so i will not buy them (even though there are a couple of the fragrances i really like). there are so many beautiful scents i love that i feel okay just buying the ones whose bottles i love also. otherwise i'd max out ALL my credit cards.

also, NST, unlike you i love the way it looks when i have several bottles by the same brand together – it's like a store display, which i guess to some isn't a good thing but to me looks beautiful. i have five l'artisan bottles in a row (2 of which are tubereuse) and three creeds (2 tubereuse indiana, 1 fleurissimo). and because i live in a tiny one-bedroom new york apartment, i keep my perfumes on my living room shelf along with books and candles (all diptyques – lilas, tubereuse, gardenia, jasmine) and dvds and photos and art objects. i like to kind of mix them all together.

some of my favorite bottles are l'artisan, frederic malle, serge lutens, creed, and diptyque (i like niche brands). others are chanel, hermes, chantecaille, and annick goutal (don't love any of the AG scents though). and i think all of them look best when next to others of the same brand!
