What do bottles and labels look like?

Recommended Posts

Here's a good picture of a 5ml bottle. Where it's blurred is where the name of the oil would be.

 

 

 

What is the diameter of the bottles for the 5ml? Is it the same for 10ml?

 

I noticed in some peoples photographs in the storage thread, blue bottles with a fancy lid, and what looked like tags made of sealing wax. Are these special edition scents, a certain line of scents, or an old-style bottle? I found them to be very pretty.

I believe that the diameter of the bottles for the 5ml & 10ml are the same but I don't have a ruler handy sorry :P

 

 

As for the sealed tag bottles...back in...I think maybe July Beth made a special blend called Formula 54. It was available to forum members only and only 54 bottles were made because the components were uber expensive. The price was ...I think $42US and they came in those special bottles with a fancy lid & sealing wax. They were 5mls.

They are actually EEEEVER so slightly wider. A millimeter or so at most. They're also taller. The only reason I know this is that my one 10ml doesn't line up with the 5ml's properly in the box :P

Yeah, the 10 has a slightly larger diameter than the 5. Proof to this? I have both, and a 10 ml cap will screw onto a 5ml body, but the reverse doesn't work. A 5 ml cap doesn't want to screw into a 10 ml body. Definately different. And now my Severin smells vaguely like Fennris wolf, and vice versa.

 

Hmnn. I just said screw a lot.

 

Anyhow. Anyone ever use a fancy bottle? I like the one below, as a guy, though, well probably shouldn't have elaborate perfume oil bottles about. Enough that I have my box of BPAL. I didn't get the fourmula fifty-iforget-the-number. But look at below, isn't it pretty? Doesn't say, though, how big it is... Lord to get a gallon of DeSade? I'd have to wait for years.

 

Someday, if I get a girlfriend, and can determine a BPAL she loves, I'll work a year in advance, and deliver a known scent in a pretty bottle, and won't that be nice? I imagine if I ask them nicely the lab would fill a arty bottle.

Pshaw. It's a very nice bottle. Pretty, but not overly girly. And trust me, it's far nicer to have a guy who pays some sort of attention to how he smells, instead of some guy who is too macho to like, bathe.

Question...

 

Are the limited edition bottles different from the regular 5ml bottles?

 

I just ordered my first LE today, but I'm dying of curiosity. :P

Speaking of labels, is there any way we could start a little compilation of the different label pictures? :P I just read that The Living Flame has a cute picture on the label, and I would so love to see all the others too (like Samhain).

 

The LEs I have and the border descriptions:

Spooky - blue trim with little blue symbol

Egg Nog - brown trim with what looks like a black & white flaming heart

Storm Moon - gray trim with crescent

 

If anyone would like to start a little picture collection, are these different enough for me to take pics of?

I liked the wee skull on sugar skull.

 

Sadly, no digital camera (and I swapped SS away, so it wouldn't be much of a point anyway).

I thought I'd bump this back up because of The Living Flame labels. I was wondering if there were any other LE that had different labels... :P And now I know!

Aw yes, my bottle of Sugar Skull is sooo cute! I should be receiving Dead Man's hand any day soon- anyone know if that has a cute 'lil piccie too? I'm wondering if it might have a playing card symbol.

They are snazzy aren't they? I saw the red peeping through the bubble wrap and was momentarily confused.

My bottle of Corazon has a label with a Sacred Heart on it. Nothing else- no name or anything. I was a bit confused when I got it (all of the other Oblation blends I've bought have the standard labels)

Living Flame has a special label? Ooh, I want to see it! What's it look like?

 

EDIT: The forum is possessed, apparently. :P

I have a rather poor photo of the label of The Living Flame.

Do I need to post a spoiler alert warning? :P

I have a better photo but have to wait until my camera is done charging to upload it. :D

 

Edited to add better photo:

QSpice said DMH had a normal label, dunno if it's got a special little symbol, but no TLF-like label for DMH..

 

 

:P

Whoa, that's nifty! Even if I hate the scent I might keep mine for the label. :P
