Art of Perfume:
Discovering and Collecting Perfume Bottles
by Christie Lefkowith
The hundreds of containers illustrated
here, which are from the author's own collection, date
from the beginning of the 20th century through the 1950s.
In the art of perfumery, scent is not the only allure.
As the author points out in this detailed history, serious
attention is also given to the selection of a name (which
carries its own cachet), the design of the label, the
bottle, the stopper, ornaments that might be affixed to
it, and the box in which it is packaged. Often, this multimedia
art form represents the work of well-known artists, designers,
and couturiers. Although this book does not give advice
on how to collect perfume bottles-which some readers might
consider a drawback-it does contain a directory of hundreds
of designers (past and present) with their addresses,
a brief history of each firm, and the names of some of
their best-known products. This would be an attractive
addition to most libraries.
