Research has shown that the design of contemporary perfume or aftershave bottles can frequently influence a consumers decision to purchase a particular product.

History Evaluation of Perfume bottle: Ancient Egyptians were the first, to manufacture perfume bottles. It comes from the Latin words, per and fumus, which mean through and smoke . Perfume wasnt made to attract the opposite sex , they were made to attract the good will of the Gods. Egyptian perfume containers were made from clay jugs, glass bottles and hollowed out stones. Now days they are made from glass or plastic, years ago perfume bottles were rare and expensive, now days with mass production perfume and fragrance bottles are relatively cheap. This is why old fragrance bottles are now collectors items and are worth a lot of money.
