The Art of
Perfume:
Discovering and Collecting Perfume Bottles
Christie Mayer Lefkowith
Hardcover
Would Eternity smell the same -- or sell the same -- in a cough medicine bottle? Exactly Lefkowith's point.
Her superior collection includes a 1926 bottle of Guerlain's Rolls Royce, which presumably doesn't smell like motor oil.
By the time someone documents and publishes the history and artistry of a particular collectible, chances are that prices will be in the decidedly
non-affordable range.
Be that as it may, Lefkowith concentrates on the first 60 years of this century, chronicling the effects of fashion, architecture, and art on the development of perfume bottles. All of the creations echo well-known design influences, including art nouveau and art deco.
