Ah&Oh Scent Stories

Posted by Robin on 14 September 2010 17 Comments

Concept bottles, unfortunately, but I would buy one in a heartbeat. From the Polish design firm Ah&Oh (and there are some wonderful closeups at their website) found via The Essence of an Author…Contained in a Perfume Bottle at Design Taxi. Shown are the bottles for George Orwell, Edgar Allan Poe and Marquis de Sade; there is also a bottle for Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.

    These are fantastic bottles! Even if they were real scents and I didn’t like them, they are cool enough just to have as interesting art around the house.

    I’ll take an Orwell and a Poe (“horrible sanity” indeed). Thanks for posting these, they’re really awesome.

      Would be great fun to buy them empty and decide which perfume fit the bottle….

      That is exactly what I thought when I saw it! The pigtails are a bit disturbing – but then again, that is the point.
      So disappointed these aren’t actually for sale . . . not that I had the $$$ to go chasing them down . . .

    They should hook-up with Histoires de Parfum. Theya already have a de Sade scent.

    Did anyone else see these and think of 2010’s Prix Eau Faux? I thought of Mary Shelly’s Divine Discharge and Nietzsche’s Ecce Homo entries. This year’s contest was so fantastic. . .and these bottles made me think of those imaginary perfumes. . .

    These are just fantastic! I would buy these if they existed, particularly Poe and deSade, though I do agree that Poe should possibly be a raven. More, please!

    I think this is the first time I have ever wanted to buy a bottle just because I love it. I must somehow obtain Orwell, Poe, and Laclos if these EVER become commercially available. (The de Sade bottle leaves me a bit cold, imo.) I think I have just taken the first steps to becoming a bottle whore.
