Oh, patents! D&G - Dolce perfume bottle cap

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G), the famous Italian fashion House, was founded by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, in 1984. The first D&G perfumes – Dolce & Gabbana pour femme (for women) and Dolce & Gabbana pour homme (for men) were launched in the early 90s. Since then, more than 100 D&G perfumes have been created.

The Dolce perfume was first launched in 2014. To date, the Dolce perfume line includes ten different fragrances: the original Dolce (2014), Dolce Floral Drops (2015), Dolce Rosa Excelsa (2016), Dolce Garden (2018), Dolce Peony (2019), Dolce Shine (2020), Dolce Rose (2021), Dolce Lily (2022), Dolce Violet (2023) and Dolce Blue Jasmine (2024). All the Dolce perfume bottles, with their sculpted flower caps, were designed by award-winning bottle designer Suzanne Dalton. The Dolce flower cap is a patented design. The US design patent, USD792767S1, titled Perfume bottle cap, was awarded to Suzanne Dalton, in France, on July 25th, 2017. The patent was then assigned to Dolce & Gabbana, in Milan, Italy.

Below, the patent Figure 8, together with a marketed bottle of the Dolce Garden fragrance*. Notice in the figure drawing that everything below the flower cap is drawn with dotted lines. The dotted lines indicate the parts of the design that are unprotected by the patent. Thus, only the Dolce flower bottle cap is patented.





Notes
*The Dolce Garden fragrance was created by Violaine Collas, senior perfumer at MANE S.A**. Dolce Garden is a fruity-floral perfume for women with magnolia, neroli, and mandarin orange top notes, coconut middle notes, and almond milk and sandalwood end notes.
** MANE S.A. is a major international fragrance and flavor production company, founded in 1871 in France (near Grasse, the perfume industry's capital city).
