European Flacon Museum
Even today, perfume is not merely a product of the current zeitgeist, but of tradition, experience and master craftsmanship. For the flower fragrance trilogy "Parfum Captive" from historic Berlin perfume house J.F. Schwarzlose, these challenges had to be met separately. Creative director Lutz Herrmann presents the idea for his glass flacon, the "dress" for the perfume.
Inspiration from the past
Rosoli flacons were the inspiration for the "Captive" perfume flacon design. The name comes from the Italian "rosolare," meaning to "cook" or "roast." Originally used for fruit liqueurs, since the 18th century, flacons have been used to store fine "eau de cologne."
Slim line, good figure...
A clear line arrangement in classic design makes the new flacon for the three "Perfume Captive" floral scents stand out. The modern interpretation of the "Rosoli" design has been adjusted to contemporary requirements. Such adjustments include the footprint and the perfume sprayer for people on the go.
A museum , a perfumery and a glass manufacturer…
The perfect blend for a contemporary product that, at its core, should embrace tradition, be crafted to perfection and be in harmony with the environment. The following clip from the advertisement trailer for the "Parfum Captive" trilogy shows the fully automatic production of the glass flacon by cosmetic glass manufacturer Heinz-Glas in Kleintettau, Upper Franconia. A good amount of earth, 2700°F (1500°C), 400 years of experience and the hard work of glassmakers bring an idea to life.
