Accords, aromas, and signature notes -- these are the characteristics that make a fragrance special. When spritzed on the skin, they have the power to lift your mood and elevate your look. There's no denying the effect a wonderful scent can have. But the fragrances' bottles can be equally enticing. Whether sleek and mysterious or colorful and full of whimsy, the bottle design is just as important as the liquid inside.

Fragrance is all about creating a story, and that includes the packaging. Think of them as an extension of the perfume. Much more than a container, they add to the aesthetic of the scent. And if you're anything like us, a pretty glass bottle can even narrow your shopping options.

Below, we've curated a list of the most eye-catching perfume bottles to display on your vanity or dresser.

Valentino Beauty's Born in Roma Donna Eau de Parfum Intense

This Valentino scent is full of dark and romantic florals and has a bottle to match. The shape is inspired by Roman architecture and the edgy design of the brand's home, Maison Valentino. Part rock and roll, part feminine and mysterious, it's an alluring addition to any collection.

Marc Jacobs' Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum

One look at this playful bottle, and you'll fall head over heels in love. The grass-green bottle with the view of fresh-cut stems evokes the clean notes in the perfume. The image is a sight alone, but the real showstopper is the bottle's top, adorned with floral blooms in bold pastel hues.

Ariana Grande's Cloud Eau de Parfum

Like the scent, this bottle feels oh-so Ariana Grande. From the lucite, clear blue bottle to the dreamy cloud it rests on, it's a treat for the eyes. Place it on your dresser and spritz it on just before heading out for a quick mood boost.

Chloé's Chloé Eau de Parfum

Classic, effortless, and traditional are just a few of the words that describe this chic bottle. Like the fragrance, the bottle has a timeless appeal. The square bottle and straw color of the perfume inside exude elegance, while the delicate bow adds a touch of femininity.
