A Look at the Prestige & Popular Packaging Finalists in the Fragrance Foundation Awards

Fragrance Foundation Packaging Finalist—Giorgio Armani My Way

Giorgio Armani My Way—in the running for a Fragrance Foundation Packaging Award—is a refillable bottle with a blue and gold stone cap, representing Earth, “englobed by a golden ring, symbolizing a unique path illuminated by every encounter along the way,” the brand states. The fragrance sources three key ingredients from around the world—orange blossom extracted from hand-picked bitter orange fruits in Egypt; Indian tuberose flower handpicked near Mysore, India; and vanilla sourced through a responsible program designed to support local communities in Madagascar. ($128 for 90 ml)

Fragrance Foundation Packaging Finalist—Diptyque Parfum de Voyage

Diptyque Parfum de Voyage, a Fragrance Foundation Finalist for Packaging of the Year, is a refillable travel spray. Designed so users can create a custom message to display each day, the bottle “takes inspiration from vintage notice boards that were once in airports and train stations,” the brand states. Unscrew the base, slide the boxes in the customization area down, and replace them with nine boxes of your choice. ($115 for 12 ml)

Fragrance Foundation Packaging Finalist—Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum

Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum is a Fragrance Foundation Packaging Award Finalist—and “You are perfect as you are” is the message, whether that is serious, eclectic, or ladylike, which are represented by the mismatched charms on the cap. Inspired by Jacobs’ wrist tattoo that says “Perfect,” the weighted glass bottle includes a shoe, a domino, a star-shaped balloon, and more, on its cap. ($128 for 100 ml)

Fragrance Foundation Packaging Finalist—Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Toilette

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Toilette is in the running for a Fragrance Foundation Packaging Award—and its lightning bolt inspiration is obvious. The brand states: “The fragrance bottle is as distinctive as he is with a striking bolt, symbolizing his heroic strength and headstrong characteristics.” ($98 for 100 ml)

Fragrance Foundation Packaging Finalist—Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum

Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum is in the running for a Fragrance Foundation Packaging Award. It's a more potent version of Tom Ford’s original Black Orchid Eau de Parfum, in a glamorous gold version of the original black bottle. The flask-shaped vessel is “a streamlined modern interpretation of 1920s and 1930s architecture,” the brand states. Ylang-ylang is amplified in the new juice, and rum absolute and black plum more pronounced. ($195 for 10 ml)
