I’m always fascinated by beauty packaging and let’s be honest, it plays a huge part in how we experience products. A year or so ago I purchased the Body Lotion from Melyon which has an oversized bulbous lid and since then I have been noticing this kind of design popping up in other places too. It is reminiscent of vintage perfume lids and I always love a modern take on something old. If you will indulge me I wanted to take you through a visual guide to some of these shelfie-worthy products.
Let’s take a look at some modern perfume bottle designs that give a contemporary nod to the vintage perfume bottle lid.
This design has now spilt over from the perfume category to the wider beauty world. Let’s take a look at some cool examples of skincare, hair care and nail polish packaging.
