Stölzle Masnières selected to produce Givenchy´s perfume bottle and stopper.

It's a bottle that smiles. Givenchy's perfume L'Interdit shows a strong line at the base of the liquid, like a smile. In order to make the bottle of its latest perfume, the luxury house turned to Stoelzle Manières perfume.

The glassworks, which celebrated its 200th anniversary last year, had to face a technical challenge and put all its know-how to work to achieve the expected result. The first difficulty consisted in molding a bottle of homogeneous glass distribution and applying two protruding grooves in the neck. Designed to accommodate the straps of a tassel that dresses the top of the bottle, these grooves were made while ensuring not to weaken the neck during crimping, fixing the pump.

Reflective effect

The glassmaker in the North also took care of the decoration of the bottle. A screen print indicates the name and brand of the product. The second delicate point was the application of a deep black lacquer on the bottom of the bottle with a limit in the middle of the radius. Requiring a lot of precision, it is this step that darkens the places in some places thanks to a reflection effect.

Stoelzle produced all the formats: 80 ml, 50 ml, 35 ml as well as the sample. Givenchy chose Axilone to design the bonnet for its fragrance. The plastic injection specialist used a clear and bright Dow DuPont material to play on the light reflected by the bottle. Injected in a single pass, the thickness of the piece gives the impression to the consumer to be made of glass.
