Perfume and Packaging in Parallel with Product Designer Vincent Villéger
How important is a perfume's packaging? Is it all really about the juice? In this episode I'm joined by Vincent Villéger, an independent product, retail and packaging designer who has worked with a number of fragrance brands (Givenchy, YSL, Issey Miyake, Ataratma, Lili Bermuda) to create their perfume bottles and packaging. He also worked in house at Burberry for 8 years as Director of Packing Design under the tenure of Christopher Bailey. We talk all about how he has found a niche in the fragrance world and how he works with brands to design and manufacture bottles that represent their brands. It's a fascinating insight into an aspect of fragrance we often don't talk about.Follow Vincent on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vv_luxurypackagingFind out more about the brand on their website: https://villeger.netVincent's emotional connection scent is Portrait of a Lady by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle---This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.
