Jil Sander hat zuerst Mode gemacht. Später hat sie auch Parfüm verkauft. Das Design von dieser Parfüm-Flasche ist einfach. Es ist sehr bekannt.

In 1981, Heidemarie Jiline Sander opened her first fashion shop in Hamburg. She named it Jil Sander. Today, her name and the Jil Sander logo are known all over the world. The design of her fashion is simple and always remains modern.

The designer Peter Schmidt has also used this style for this perfume bottle: Bath & Beauty.

The perfume bottle is rectangular. It has a spray head and a plastic cap. There are 3 grooves in the middle of the bottle. The design is very simple, so you can always recognise it. The white colour makes you think that the bottle is made of plastic. But it is made of white glass. You can't see how full the bottle is.

There are only a few perfumes that are successful for a long time. But then their packaging is also very well-known and always looks the same.
