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.

Guerlain’s 1853 Imperial bee bottle

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain, who commissioned Pochet du Courval(1) Glassmakers for manufacturing the Eau de Cologne Impériale bottle, the Guerlain "bee" bottle is still produced, used, and much commemorated. For example, for the 160th anniversary of the bee bottle, in 2013, the House of Guerlain asked 25 artists to create a variation of the bee bottle. The re-created bee bottles were then exhibited at the Guerlain flagship store, on the Champs-Elysées, in Paris. On this occasion, Guerlain also issued a 24K-gold special edition of the bee bottle. Otherwise, the bottle is used for several other, currently marketed, Guerlain fragrances,  such as Samsara, Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat, Jardins de Bagatelle, Muguet (2021 Lucie Touré Edition), or Petit Guerlain (children’s eau de toilette with a blue or pink label), in addition to the historic Eau de Cologne Impériale.

 Below, a Guerlain Youtube video of the present-day bee bottle glassmaking process, together with an image of the iconic Eau de Cologne Impériale bee bottle.
