Vintage Perfumery Inspiration

 

Im not sure where all the these images are from - but I have collected them over a period of time to refer back to when I am working on fragrance and beauty product packaging with a vintage edge. I find that the past holds the key to the future in design, if we can figure out why it moves us still, we can take those elements, clean them up, add to the soul of the design and build on it.
