Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Houston

Engraving fragrance bottles onsite around Houston was not something that I initially embraced over a decade ago. As an introvert, it was not an activity that I saw myself doing. Frankly, I was still developing my skills (and confidence) with engraving and having that out in the open for all to see was intimidating to say the least. The first time that I engraved for a fragrance company was actually not planned. I referred the event to another engraver and they cancelled at the last minute so I was asked to engrave in their place. That was the start of my fragrance engraving career in Houston. True story….

However, what I learned, and what I tell new engraving and calligraphy students, is that confidence comes with time and exposure. I also learned to not take everything so seriously. There are no glass engraving police. They don’t exist. Well yes, you may be engraving a $5,000 bottle of Louis XIII cognac (I’ve engraved quite a few of these over the years) or a $4,000 bottle of Screaming Eagle wine (last Sunday) that you weren’t expecting. But, glass is glass…for the most part. And actually the expensive glass is easier to engrave :). Just whatever you do, do not think “Don’t mess up.” Just do what you always do and keep it moving. It’s just glass.

Cheers!

Salvatore Ferragamo Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Dallas & Houston

On Friday, I had the exquisite pleasure of engraving calligraphy in fragrance bottles for the Ferragamo boutique at NorthPark Center in Dallas. I say that it was an exquisite pleasure as everything about the boutique was inviting. They only recently moved into this specific space a month prior to my visit. There were 2 entrances into this boutique; 1 internal entrance through the center and an external entrance from the street. Secret: I don’t find shopping to be pleasing hence I am typically only in stores when I am working. With that in mind, the entrance from the street was golden. Once I entered the boutique, every representative exuded the holy grail of luxurious service under the stead of Juan Novoa, Boutique Director. Every member was graceful, calm, welcoming, attentive & kind.

The finishes throughout the store radiated the elegant mood initiated by the staff. They were simple, clean and elegant. Engraving fragrance bottles in the boutique was a genuine pleasure as they engraved like silk. I assure you that on some level glass is glass, but as a calligraphy hand engraver some glass feels more like crystal than your garden variety glass. I can think of a few bottles specifically that always “feel” elegant during the engraving process. These fragrance bottles and the Macallan Scotch Rare Cask bottle are the first 2 to come to mind. I engraved quite a few fragrance bottles that evening. It was an exquisite pleasure & I look forward to returning to this boutique.

Tiffany & Co Fragrance Bottle Engraver - Houston

Like most women, I have been intrigued by Tiffany & Co since childhood. When you see that unmistakable blue color, you know that something wonderful is inside. I have engraved quite a few fragrance bottles of Tiffany over the years in Houston and this one is absolutely beautiful. Not just the scent but also the glass. It engraves very nicely and smoothly. This modern, artisanal scent, with the noble iris at its heart, is as exhilarating and inspired as love itself. Top note is vert de mandarine with a middle note of noble iris and the base notes are patchouli and musk.

Chanel Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Houston

Chanel is one of those brands that just stays with you. It is not ostentatious. It is not overstated. It does not apologize for its air of exclusivity. It provokes this slightly elusive demeanor. It just is….and everyone knows.

I have worn fragrances from Chanel for as long as I can remember…since my 20’s for sure. At this point in my life, it is the only brand that I wear. I’m a creature of habit. I have an affinity for Chanel Beige during the day and Chanel Gardenia at night. They have definitely become my signature scents. So when a Chanel fragrance arrives at my table for an engraving event, it holds a special place in my psyche.

There are 2 aspects (as far as I know) that can instantly transport a person to particular memories: music and scents. When I smell honeysuckle, I am immediately transported to my grandparent’s farm as that was where I first remember experiencing that scent. Scents transfix our minds in a way that no other concepts have the capacity to do. I digress…

This frangrace bottle of COCO Mademoiselle is nearly an engraver’s dream. It has a flat surface (like most of the Chanel bottles) and the glass is nice to engrave…minimal resistance. I hope that Charlotte is pleased. Cheers!

Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat Rouge 540 Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Neiman Marcus Houston

Interestingly enough, I have engraved a fair amount of bottles from Maison Francis Kurkdjian during events at Neiman Marcus here in Houston. However, it has always been so busy that I have not yet had the opportunity to enjoy scents from this company. What I have, however, enjoyed is the ease with which these bottles are etched or engraved by hand. It is so evident that the glass is crystal by Baccarat. It engraves like silk. There is no resistance and it does everything that you want it to do. Nonetheless, here is little information about this scent:

Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum is born from the encounter between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat to celebrate the crystal manufacturer’s 250th birthday. The woody scent releases a poetic alchemy, a highly condensed and graphic olfactory signature. Breezy jasmine facets, radiant saffron boost the ambergris mineral notes and the woody tones of freshly-cut cedar. Bright and sleek, Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum caresses the skin like an amber and woody floral whisper.

Cartier Fragrance Bottle Engraver - Houston Engraving

When someone offers Cartier, the answer is always yes.

Cosmetic, Makeup & Beauty Engraving - Houston Engraver

Engraving fragrance bottles onsite definitely provides a different feel than engraving wine and spirit bottles. With that said, I genuinely enjoy both. I find that the mood at a wine or spirit bottle job is pretty laid back and fun. Oftentimes, it can be relatively hardcore due to volume which can provide a little adrenaline rush. Fragrance bottles jobs are generally more luxurious so to speak. Who doesn’t love that? I feel so fortunate to have turned what began as a hobby into my career. I remember when I thought that no-one would. pay me to write. I learned that EVERYTHING has a niche. Thank you, Houston.

Congratulations - Houston Onsite Fragrance Bottle Etching

As life returns to normal, friends and family are returning to events such as graduations, weddings, birthdays etc. We are finding more reasons to say “congratulations”. This was one of the bottles engraved at an event at the Cartier boutique. As I understand it, this bottle will be retained by the client in preparation for future events as there are always reasons here and there for a “congratulations gift”. How smart! I love planning ahead. Cheers!
