A PERFUME BOTTLE TELLS A STORY

In my childhood, at my grandmother’s house, I was fascinated by her perfume bottles.

To me, they became elegant ladies and gentlemen, hosting balls and dinner parties in a world of imagination.

Today, as I guide visitors through the exhibition LOUIS VUITTON. ART DECO, I still see the perfume flacons the same way.

Look closely — don’t these flacons resemble characters?

From simple containers to art objects… perfume bottles carry history, imagination, and identity.

In the early 20th century, French glassmakers collaborated with perfumers to create true works of art.

Each bottle was designed to capture attention, reflect elegance, and embody the spirit of the fragrance inside.
