Welcome to my boudoir — the most beautiful perfume bottles
Elsa Schiaparelli, who will be the subject of an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2026, was ahead of her time. In 1927 the avant-garde, Rome-born couturier founded a fashion house defined by bold, surrealist-inspired creations that are reflected in the house's recent revival under Daniel Roseberry. Schiaparelli also pioneered the idea of the artist-designer collab, enlisting a number of her friends in the surrealist art scene to work on elements of her designs — from the writer, artist and film-maker Jean Cocteau's line drawings rendered in sumptuous embroidery to Salvador Dalí's input on the iconic lobster dress and shoe hat. Schiaparelli also engaged her artist friends to collaborate on different perfume bottles. In 1947 Dalí produced a design that recalls a golden monstrance-style altar piece for Schiaparelli's Le Roy Soleil perfume — created in crystal in a limited run of 2,000 by Baccarat, and presented in a large, gilded, satin-lined metal shell. On receiving the perfume, the Duchess of Windsor declared it 'the most beautiful bottle ever made… It has displaced the duke's photograph on the coiffeuse!' • This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue The earliest-surviving perfume bottles date from ancient Egypt in the 2nd millennium BC and would have contained any of the many perfumed oils that the Egyptians used both in religious rites and beauty regimes. The trend spread throughout the ancient world and beyond, with perfumed waters, oils and distillations stored in a variety of shaped vessels made not only from glass but also terracotta, porcelain and metal. The most luxurious examples were highly decorated with enamel, elaborate filigree work or even gemstones. This trend continued in the 18th century — the highest end of the market saw whole bottles carved from the most expensive stones such as lapis lazuli or made from ever-thinner glass — and the 19th, with glass etched or painted with playful scenes, or heavy crystal bottles made by firms such as Baccarat. By the 20th century these leading glass and crystal manufacturers were working on both mass-market perfume containers and limited-edition runs. The modern era has taken such bottles to new heights — with the most expensive perfumes yet sold being as much about the bottle as about the scent. Shumukh by The Spirit of Dubai, presented in a 3-litre bottle adorned with over 3,500 diamonds, topaz, pearls and gold, holds the record at about £1.3 million. Limited editions of mass-market fragrances can also fetch impressive sums. A 2016 reissue of Dior's J'adore was topped with a 'bow' featuring 30 round-cut diamonds and 10 pear-cut diamonds —at a cost of £50,000. Viktor & Rolf celebrated the 15th anniversary of its celebrated Flowerbomb scent in 2020 with a 10-piece run of a special bottle 3D-printed in gold, costing more than £2,000 each. In 2011 a one-of-a-kind bottle of DKNY's Golden Delicious was designed by the jeweller Martin Katz and studded with 2,909 precious stones, including 2,700 white diamonds, 183 yellow sapphires, a 7.18-carat oval Cabochon sapphire from Sri Lanka, a 1.6-carat turquoise Paraiba tourmaline from Brazil, a 3.07-carat oval-cut ruby, a 4.03-carat pear-shaped rose-cut diamond and a 2.43-carat flawless, yellow Canary diamond that featured on the cap. These were meticulously hand-set into a golden Big Apple-inspired silhouette over the course of 1,500 hours. The bottle was priced at $1 million (or over £600,000), with proceeds going to the charity Action Against Hunger. Artistic collaborations have also endured. Before Schiaparelli partnered with the surrealists, many artists who were then unknown but would go on to achieve greatness designed perfume bottles. Kazimir Malevich, the radical Russian painter, designed a graphic, glacial perfume bottle for the Severny fragrance for Brocard, featuring a polar bear atop an elongated iceberg. In the 1910s René Lalique, the founder of the eponymous crystal company, partnered with the perfumer François Coty, for whom he made a series of perfume bottles. A century later the architect Zaha Hadid worked with Donna Karan to create a monumental design for the bottle of Donna Karan Woman. Dalí himself designed more perfume bottles, both for other brands and, later, under his own name. In 1983 he designed the Baccarat-crafted bottle for his eponymous fragrance, released in a limited run of 1,500 bottles each priced at £2,500. The bottle, shaped like a nose and lips, was inspired by the artist's rendering of a classical statue, the Aphrodite of Knidos, in his 1981 painting of the subject. Carrying on the surrealist theme is a launch from Lalique inspired by the Belgian artist René Magritte's 1950 work La valse hésitation. Known for his pipes, bowler hats and apples, Magritte's work is always wry and dreamlike. La valse hésitation (alluding to a type of waltz that sees participants pause momentarily) is no exception. It depicts two green apples — the only signs of life in a flat, arid, barren landscape — wearing carnival masks. The latest of Lalique's art and fragrance pairings interprets this as a symbol of hidden realities, producing a single masked apple that mixes transparency and satin finish, light and texture, clear glass and coloured (£2,100). Available in a numbered edition of only 250 pieces, each bottle is handcrafted at Lalique's workshops in Alsace and filled with an extrait de parfum, by the perfumer Véronique Nyberg, with notes of pink pepper, ginger, shiso, jasmine absolute and musk. If you're looking to add a little artistic flair to your dressing table, here are four more of the prettiest perfume bottles to buy now: This limited-edition bottle of the Spanish fashion house's Agua fragrance has a cap in the shape of a handcrafted porcelain flower, hand-painted in blue, with a pale green calyx. Inspired by sunlight sparkling on water, the fragrance itself carries notes of Spanish rockrose, bergamot and orange flower. £800, The feminist contemporary artist Judy Chicago has created an exquisite mini trunk that pays homage to Catherine Dior, Christian Dior's sister and a member of the French Resistance in the Second World War. The velvet interior of the trunk is decorated with quotes by Catherine Dior, and it is covered in a delicate blue floral print. The trunk holds a bottle of the Miss Dior scent in a lively iteration by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. £12,600, Gucci's recently launched The Alchemist's Garden range is inspired by both the history of Florence and the practice of alchemy. Suitably, therefore, the bottles evoke apothecary's flacons. This version, in clear white, decorated with a golden drawing of a dragonfly, is built around a floral bouquet to mix freshness and earthiness. £265, This classic cuboid flacon is all about restrained elegance, until you reach the cap with its decadent purple stones. The perfume itself features notes of bergamot, ginger and ylang ylang. £2,500,

Lindsay Lohan comes full circle with 'Freakier Friday'
LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for "Freakier Friday", the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie "Freaky Friday". Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. "It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mom and I was able to bring being a mom into the character," Lohan said at the film's London premiere on Thursday. "It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen." "Freaky Friday", with a reported budget of $26 million, was a surprise hit, making over $160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get "freakier" this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. "It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mom. There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that'," she said. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a "lovefest", said Murray. "It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home." "Freakier Friday" marks Lohan's big screen return. "It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great and you want people to love what you do," she said. "As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do." "Freakier Friday" begins its global cinematic rollout on August 6.

Freakier Friday: Lindsay Lohan on motherhood, acting again and the Freaky Friday sequel
It has been more than two decades since the body-swap comedy that captured the complexities of mother-daughter relationships became a global hit. Now Freakier Friday sees Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reunite in a sequel that explores those same themes from a very different stage in film picks up with Lohan's character, Anna, having a daughter of her own and dealing with the challenges of also taking on a stepdaughter. The family dynamic gets freakier as there is a quadruple body-swapping. At the European premiere for the film in London's Leicester Square, Lindsay Lohan told the BBC that every part of her wanted to make a sequel to the beloved 2003 hit. "Fans love the movie and there's such a strong loyalty," she explains. "It made people so happy and I like to make movies that make people feel joy."There's so much going on in the word now that it's nice to make something that allows people to forget about what's going on." The film consolidates Lohan's return to Hollywood - she was absent for much of the 2010s and made her return to the big screen in 2022 with Falling for Christmas. This is her first film with Disney in more than a decade but is probably not the last as she says if fans love Freakier Friday they could expect the freakiest of sequels. The star, who rose to fame in the Parent Trap, tells me that she was not nervous about returning to acting as she loves what she does "and I know that always shows through in my work". She adds that her return to acting was all about finding the right time, and the 39-year-old has had a busy few years having married financier Bader Shammas in 2022 and borne a son a year says being a parent has given her a new perspective on the mother-child relationship in the film and helped her to relate more to it. "When you become a mum, your whole life changes and it's important to be able to balance work and being a mum which is definitely a learning process." Lohan has been in the public eye for almost three decades and had a turbulent time in her 20s - she was arrested a number of times for various offenses and spent time in rehab on various occasions. She tells the BBC that looking back she would tell her younger self to not rush and "just slow down and breathe because it's all coming". Curtis, who reprises her role as Lohan's mother in the film, told me that the Freaky Friday sequel did not feel like a reunion with Lohan because "we've always been united"."I take my job seriously and when I'm the mother or elder to a young actor I take great responsibility to make sure they can always count on my friendship and love," she says. "We've been united all the away from her teens to her twenties and just recently she bought her baby to meet me in LA." The actor, who won an Oscar for superhero comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2023, says that the film's themes of understanding and sympathy are very important right now. "Understanding is in short supply right now in the world and this film shows that if you can experience each other's life then maybe you will find some common ground with each other." As well as being fun and silly, Curtis adds that the film touches upon the theme of loss which "creates empathy as that's a universal feeling". The 66-year-old said it was her idea to make the sequel and she had contacted Disney recently to say it was time to create it. She had to wait two decades because "we needed Lindsay to be old enough to have a 15-year-old child in the film". Chad Michael Murray reprises his role as the noughties heartthrob Jake and newcomer Julia Butters plays Lohan's on-screen daughter. More broadly, Freakier Friday is part of a trend of sequels being announced and released. Last week, a follow-up to Bend it like Beckham was released and there is a lot of anticipation for the Devil Wears Prada sequel. Freakier Friday is out on Friday 8 August.
