Design plays a big role in beauty and cosmetics. From skin care to makeup, the packaging can convey a mood and feed into a certain aesthetic. With fragrance, that ethos is multiplied. The bottle design, color, and shape all play a part in how we receive the perfume, often adding to the overall scent. Sure, we smell with our noses, but aromas are just half of what makes a scent beloved and sought after. A pretty perfume bottle, whether classically designed or wildly unique, can create an aesthetic all its own.

Or Merit’s new perfume that embodies the minimalist vibe of the brand. Whether placed on the dresser or scattered (prettily) about a desk, a collection of pretty bottles adds a bit of elegance to any space. Ahead, we’ve gathered 10 bottles that are stunning enough to double as home décor. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite.
