Sure, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
And that’s something you almost definitely prioritize when it comes to choosing a new perfume. But sometimes judging a book by its cover (or a perfume by its bottle) can be a brilliant way of discovering a new signature scent accidentally.
And, when it comes to perfume bottles, it’s fair to say we’ve found a few surprise favorites over the years. While some of our all-time top scents smell exactly like what their bottles suggest, others have made us look at individual scents in a whole new way.
So today we’ve rounded up all of the prettiest perfume bottles around, from new arrivals to classic scents.
Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs
All of Marc Jacobs’ perfume bottles designs are beautiful but the prettiest perfume bottle from this whimsical brand has to be Daisy Dream. With its pastel blue shade, embossed daisies, and golden accents, this is a perfume you’ll enjoy spritzing before you’ve even delighted in its scent. Which, by the way, is just as gorgeous: a floral, fruity, fresh array of notes that’s perfect for warmer weather.

Alien by Thierry Mugler
Alien by Mugler isn’t just a beautiful perfume bottle – it’s also a seriously striking one that you’ll notice on the perfume counter before you even realize what it is. This ever-so-popular perfume is a top choice for evening wear, when its contrasting notes of Indian jasmine, amber, and woods combine as one. The bottle was designed in the shape of a talisman, to be reminiscent of a philosopher’s stone. Its scent inside is just as mysterious and magical.
