Anything verbena has my vote…
Same!
Those bottle look a LOT like the ones Atelier Cologne has.
Argh! *bottles
True, but I am always hesitant to say anybody copied a bottle…usually the brand they copied from had already copied it from somebody else. I just don’t have a good enough memory to ever say!
Sometimes a brand creates a bottle with a manufacturer and in order to leverage the cost of creating and manufacturing/adapting the line they negotiate the exclusivity for the use of a bottle for x amount of time. After the time passes the bottle manufacturer is free to offer the design to other companies in different colours and materials. Just my two cents… I have seen iconic bottles “trickle down” to drugstore fragrances over the years 😉
Of course I don’t pretend to know that this is what happened here, just my experience in general 🙂
Not only the bottle, also the concept of an intense cologne.
