Art Deco Perfume Bottle: How the State of Mind Bottle Is Made

Art Deco Perfume Bottle: How the State of Mind Bottle Is Made

World of Perfume

This is an Art Deco perfume bottle before it is a container. A triangular form, hand-polished through 33 operations, finished with hot gold and topped with a magnetic crystal cap.


An Art Deco Perfume Bottle, Made by Hand

The State of Mind bottle was created to be recognized before you even read the name on it. Its triangular silhouette and Art Deco aesthetic give all fourteen fragrances a shared visual language, while the details of the bottle turn that shape into part of the Maison's identity.

State of Mind describes the bottle as a true objet d'art. Its design reflects the Maison's belief that fragrance can exist alongside art, elegance and sensory expression.

Everything in the perfume bottle design points back to the same triangular shape, from the hot gold engraving to the magnetic crystal cap.

Thirty-Three Operations, By Hand

The 100 ml bottle goes through 33 manual polishing operations. The process gives the triangular glass its finished form before the other details are added.

Then comes the hot gold finish and the crystal cap, which closes with a magnetic mechanism. Even the brand logo has its own place, engraved at the bottom of the bottle. These details remain consistent across the collection, creating a recognizable object around fourteen different states of mind.

One Shape, Fourteen States of Mind

The 100 ml bottle travels inside a case cast from a single piece of aluminum, lacquered black outside and finished in gold within. State of Mind built it to survive well past the life of one perfume.

  • One piece. Cast from a single piece of aluminum, creating a clean, seamless form.
  • Built to last. Designed as an object intended to remain useful beyond the life of the fragrance.
  • Finished in gold. The interior brings the black exterior into contrast with the Maison's signature gold.
  • Made to be reused. Designed to continue as part of the experience after the perfume is gone.

When the Object Becomes Part of the Ritual

A perfume bottle is handled before the fragrance is experienced on skin. It is picked up, opened, held and returned to its place. For State of Mind, that physical experience is part of the relationship between fragrance, art and ritual.

The bottle is only one part of the State of Mind experience. Every fragrance also begins with a specific tea or coffee, connecting the object in your hand with what is inside it. Read how tea becomes a State of Mind perfume.
