Tom Ford Fragrance Bottle Engraving / Etching - Houston
I find Tom Ford to be a very interesting, debonair individual that could have easily been born in another era. In many ways, I can relate to that. My style of dress is typically somewhere between the 1950-1970’s era depending on the day. I’m one of those people that still believes in grace and decorum. In interviews and articles, you get the feeling that Ford has a European point of view with regard to aesthetics. That viewpoint of everything that is to be done should be done beautifully, but also that there is elegance in simplicity. I agree with that wholeheartedly.
When I was presented with this fragrance bottle at a recent onsite engraving event at Nordstrom, I was delighted, but hesitant. Those that have engraved dark glass fragrance bottles may know exactly where I am going. They usually engrave relatively smoothly. The tricky part is after you engrave it. They can scratch SO easily. With that in mind, I was very careful with removing the glass dust and with the process of color application. After it all, I realized that that level of care may not have even been necessary with this fragrance bottle. I suspect that there is no coating on this glass to achieve that gorgeous, dark hue. I believe that it is inherently that color. All the same, I just love this bottle. Here is a little information regarding this scent:

There has clearly been thought in every aspect of the design of the fragrance and also the bottle/presentation. I love that.
