The 10 Best Perfume Bottles

10. Issey Miyake's A Scent Florale is a lovely chunky bottle. The glass has a mild pink hue and the side are frosted. It's like a stylised glass brick.

9. The Marc Jacobs' Splash Range come in oversized 200ml bottles. Simplistic and uncluttered.

8. The packaging for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. is deeply satisfying. The proportions of the lid and the bottle are inverted, so it has an oversized gold cap. Quirky and individual.

7. For true girlie appeal, Flora Gucci is fantastic. The angular shape of the bottle and the cord bow around the neck are fun and stylish.

6. There are two types of Annick Goutal bottle, I love the gold bow and the pretty look of this style.

5. The larger CB I Hate Perfume bottles are distinctively oversized. These functional bottles are super tall so they are slim and easy to hold.

4. For pure kitsch factor, what can beat the miniaturised cocktail shakers of Benefit's Crescent Lane trio?

3. Bond No. 9 have found a way to make all their bottles create a recognised range, but be completely individual in their own right. This vivid Bond No. 9 Chinatown bottle mirrors the shape, but not the colours or style of the rest of the series.

2. Lanvin La Rose is a cutesy new bottle. What's not to love?

1.my gives the number one spot to Marc Jacobs' Daisy. It's in a class of its own when it comes to the packaging. What a pretty, unique and recognisable bottle.
