Hugo Boss Fragrance Engraving - Houston
Merry Christmas….just kidding. This is a fragrance bottle that I engraved at a Hugo Boss event in December. Please forgive me for just now posting this bottle; however, I just came across it in my pictures and loved the result. To be fair, I am fully aware that my style of engraving calligraphy is not modern at all……which is exactly what I love about it. I love the vintage look of Spencerian lettering. Although true Spencerian spacing is not always possible of a small canvas such as a fragrance bottle. However, the essence is there, especially in the majuscules (capital letters).
This cologne bottle in particular was beautiful to engrave as it is black which provided contrast to the gold engraved lettering. The glass of the fragrance bottle lacked texture, which is an engraver’s dream. Texture can shift how you engrave and if you can easily add color. I rather liked the end result. What do you think?
