Oh, patents! Carolina Herrera Good Girl stiletto perfume bottle

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

In the fashion House of Herrera, lightning-bolt Bad Boy perfume is the perfect match for the stiletto heel Good Girl perfume. Indeed, the beautiful Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume bottles are exquisitely made of Italian-designed glass, in a tradition that dates back to the glass artisan Guilds of the Middle Ages, when glass was first discovered and manufactured, in the Republic of Venice.

The Carolina Herrera Good Girl stiletto glass bottles are designed and manufactured using several patented glass manufacturing processes, belonging to the famous Italian glassmaker Luigi Bormioli. Whether it is the opal/stone effect of some of the glass stiletto bottles, or the internal coating of the glass, ensuring that the vibrant color of the glass is uniformly applied to every part of the stiletto-shoe-shaped bottle, each Carolina Herrera Good Girl glass stiletto bottle, also subsumes several Bormioli glass-manufacturing inventions.

Among the inventions invoked to produce the Bormioli-manufactured, Carolina Herrera glass stiletto bottle, the following World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and US utility patents:

- WO2007006328A1 - Opacifying composition and process for the production of glass with an opal/stone effect or with a snow effect. (Granted January 18, 2007)

- US10118857B2 - Method for internally coating a hollow glass body. (Granted November 6, 2018)

- US10427967B2 - Process for the manufacture of a glass container, glass container and related uses. (Granted October 1, 2019)

The many existing editions of the Carolina Herrera Good Girl (and Very Good Girl) perfume were each designed by renowned perfumers, such as Quentin Bisch, Louise Turner, Shyamala Maisondieu, and Christophe Raynaud. Below, ten editions of the Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume, each shown contained in its own variation of the Italian-glass stiletto perfume bottle, and accompanying conditioning.

Oh, patents! Carolina Herrera Bad Boy lightning bolt perfume bottle

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The far-out, lightning bolt, Bad Boy perfume bottle is another signature Caroline Herrera perfume bottle, created by Jean-Marc Galvez. A stunning perfume bottle,  containing no less extraordinary eau de parfum or eau de toilette, whose various editions were designed by several renowned perfumers, including Quentin Bisch, Louise Turner, Fanny Bal, Bruno Jovanovic, Nicolas Beaulieu, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Yann Vastier.

The lightning bolt bottle was awarded the US design patent USD927984, titled Perfume bottle on August 17, 2021. As a reminder, a US design patent covers the ornamental aspects of an invention, or the way an invention looks. This is in contrast with US utility patents, which cover the way an invention works, or is produced. 

Below, the Figures 1 and 2, extracted from the design patent, together with images of six editions of the Carolina Herrera Bad Boy perfume, in its lightning bolt bottle, next to the packaging: 

- CH Bad Boy (2019) Eau de Toilette

- CH Bad Boy Superstars (2021) Eau de Toilette

- CH Bad Boy (2021) Eau de Parfum

- CH Bad Boy Gold Fantasy (2022) Eau de Toilette

- CH Bad Boy Cobalt (2022) Eau de Parfum

- CH Bad Boy Extreme (2022) Eau de Parfum

Oh, patents! Carolina Herrera 212 Heroes Eau de parfum bottle (for women)

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The Carolina Herrera fragrance for women, 212 Heroes Forever Young, was launched in 2022 —just one year after the original Eau de toilette for men 212 Heroes Forever Young. The pink liquid fragrance, matching the pink chrome of the striking feminine skateboard bottle, was also created by three well-known perfumers: Marie Salamagne, Alberto Morillas and Dora Baghriche.  

Targeting young women, the fragrance is fruity, floral and woodsy, opening with raspberry and mandarin notes, jasmine and orange blossom middle notes, cedar and sandalwood base notes. The 212 Heroes Eau de Parfum for women is also conditioned in a 2.7 fl. oz, slightly smaller, skateboard vaporizer, compared to the masculine version, containing 3 fl. oz. 

The essential ornamental properties of the remarkable skateboard bottle design, used for the 212 Heroes Eau de parfum for women, are also covered in the US design patent, USD923485S1, titled Perfume Bottle.

Below, the US patent coversheet figures, depicting perspective views of the skateboard bottle, together with an image of the marketed fragrance for women. A YouTube video also introduces the Carolina Herrera 2022 Eau de parfum feminine fragrance, 212 Heroes Forever Young.

Oh, patents! Carolina Herrera 212 Heroes Eau de toilette bottle (for men)

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

Carolina Herrera’s skateboard-shaped vaporizing bottle for the Carolina Herrera masculine fragrance 212 Heroes Forever Young is undoubtedly one of the coolest perfume bottles you have ever seen or used. Designed by Jean-Marc Galvez, the bottle was awarded the US design patent USD923485S1, titled Perfume Bottle, on June 29, 2021.  

Launched the same year, the baby-blue liquid fragrance was created by three well-known perfumers: Domitille Michalon Bertier, Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Carlos Benaim, specifically for the young population. The fragrance is fresh, fruity and citrusy (with a pear opening note), even with middles notes of hemp,  and end notes of musk and leather. 

The packaging sends a clear message about the targeted demographics:  "We refuse to conform. We commit to be free. We never give up. We never stop dreaming. We will always be forever young. We will always be heroes." 

Below, the patent cover sheet drawings, showing perspective views of the bottle, and an image of the marketed product. A Youtube video, introducing the  212 Heroes Forever Young Eau de toilette masculine fragrance, is also included.
