Perfume bottles that win the grand prize of fug

After my partner in Pretty's coverage of the new LA Gear release, it looks like we're all about the nostalgia this week! I absolutely loved Bella Sugar's pictorial report Eau No: 33 Worst Perfume Bottles, but the best part was reacquainting myself with the awesomeness that is Exclamation. (!!!)

Didn't we all want to "make a statement without saying a word?" I remember being so happy when I got my own bottle for Christmas. I felt so grown up! And yay! I could put it in my Caboodle! I can't give an objective opinion of this bottle design, it's just too close to my heart.
But I can agree with Bella Sugar's inclusion of Revlon's Absolutely Fabulous. I would assume this bottle design was just due to bad trends of the 80's but apparently this scent launched in 2001. WTF, did they hire a moody Bobby Trendy to do the design? Because that's the only explanation for this monstrosity.


One bottle that's missing from the fug list is Gaultier's aptly named Le Male. With this masterpiece of a bottle,you can't help but think to yourself "check out the package on that package." Lol! It's a shame because I absolutely adore this scent. It's musky, spicy and very masculine - a great BF gift idea. Now if it only came in a different bottle...
