Perfume bottle cap: plastic art of solidifying fragrance
When the fingertip touches the perfume bottle cap, the sense of smell has not yet been awakened, and vision and touch have first weaved the imagination of fragrance. This small object with a diameter of less than five centimeters is not only a barrier to protect fragrance, but also a three-dimensional declaration of the soul of perfume. From the geometric edge of crystal cutting to the classical curve of gilding winding, from the natural texture of rough clay to the industrial coldness of metal grid, the plastic arts of perfume bottle caps have gone beyond the scope of practical functions and become the most concise expression of brand aesthetics.
Reconstruction of the sense of ceremony in classicism
The golden bee shaped bottle cap of the Guerlain Emperor's Water always reminds people of the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. Eight gilded bees surround the top of the bottle in different postures, and the curvature of their wing tips replicates the scepter decoration of Napoleon III's coronation in 1853. This design that transforms imperial symbols into aesthetic language still has strong vitality in contemporary times. When the fingertips pinch the bee's abdomen and rotate, the subtle sound of metal friction seems to be the key to opening the fragrance palace. The moment the bottle cap and body bite, the tight and seamless feeling is just like the ultimate pursuit of symmetry and harmony in classicism.
Corresponding to this is the square glass cover of Zuma Long, which seems to have a simple cutting technique but actually hides hidden mysteries. The four sides are chamfered at a 45 degree angle, creating eight sharp light and shadow reflections under light refraction, similar to the glass dome of a Victorian greenhouse greenhouse. This design, which miniaturizes the geometric aesthetics of British classical gardens, makes every bottle opening a miniature afternoon tea ceremony - in the slow opening motion, it seems like you can hear the crisp sound of a teaspoon colliding with a bone china cup.
