OBJECTS OF DESIRE:
THE ART OF THE FLACON
A flacon is more than a mere vessel – it’s where scent becomes art you can hold. In “Objects of Desire: The Art of the Flacon” in the new Le Parfum Magazine Chapter 6, we spotlight three brands that transform the humble perfume bottle into true works of art, including Florian Pontier.
FLORIAN PONTIER: WHERE SCENT MEETS SCULPTURE
For Florian Pontier, a perfume flacon is never just packaging – it’s a miniature sculpture. Long before launching his own niche perfume brand, Florian collected perfume caps and flacons as a child, reimagining them as tiny artworks that could hold stories as well as scent.
Today, that playful spirit runs through every design. His flacons, shaped like prestigious awards and finished with bold, street-art-inspired illustrations, blur the line between fragrance and design.
In the mood for a bright, sunlit escape? Florian Pontier’s La Sarrapia is your ticket, inspired by Venezuela’s lush Monagas region. It’s a true summer scent for those who chase the sun!
