SO glad someone is writing about this! The Boy Smells caps were HORRIBLE we can't even be surprised about the rebrand. I hate the Versace Crystal caps. The giant, oblong "gemstones" are top-heavy and so cheap looking. After years of hating, I finally just threw it away and now my Crystal Noir bottle sits naked on my shelf, the better for it.

Love the Xinu caps and Mendittorosa! And the Stora Skuggan ones are beautiful too. The Reine de Saba ones just make me laugh- so over the top!

The Xinu bottles caps are polarizing but I love them too. I like their travel size bottles and caps as well.

Love this topic. And ooh the Oddity bottles are gorgeous. I have to add the Filippo Sorcinelli Memento collection bottles with their priest hand tops! So over the top, but I appreciate the commitment to the bit. https://filipposorcinelli.com/en/pages/memento

I just got my delulu in the mail and omg the cap is divine! Mine is pink and green! I also really like the scent—it is very rhubarb forward and not sweet.

This seems like the place to ask…I too am a fan of the “ball” caps and am in love with some Universal Flowering scents but if I purchase want to make sure I get the cool ball cap and not the boring gold (but at least not ugly) as seen at Luckyscent. Are the good caps only available in Canada?

I think it just depends on the size you order! The nice ball caps are available in the US but it’s just the bigger size that comes with that cap!

Thank you, I don’t know why I wasn’t seeing that!

The title on this one made me think of Filippo immediately, so happy to see his inclusion here haha. I like the nasomatto caps as well.

One cap I like in theory but I'm not sure if I'd like in person are the caps for Caeleste. Super wide so would probably be annoying to fit in my already crowded cabinet. It's a cap that demands a lot of personal space.

I like the Nasomatto caps too.

I live for this topic! That one Filippo Sorcinelli bottle ("Brezza Leggera") looks like a pewter booger! It's so ghastly, but I kinda love that it still exists nonetheless.

Those Delulu caps. Man, that is brilliant too, but I am sure many would suggest that with all that effort into the concept of the cap, it begs the questions as to whether the juice that it protects is also of the same artistic caliber. I should sample it!

The Reine de Saba is so garish, but I love how ostentatious it is, though I have no desire to own one.

Haha omg it is a pewter booger! I love how over the top all of his bottle caps are too. I need to smell Delulu too - maybe I’ll make myself do that and then if I like it I’ll allow myself to buy it. 😂

We should report back to each other on Delulu. The name cracks me up as I type it!

Every single time I use my Boy Smells scents, I laugh at the bottle. I feel validated.

Some of the caps you profiled are beautiful sculptures and collectible objects. The art of perfumery and packaging— so delicious!

SORT of related, but I struggle with ScentSplit caps as are often on TIGHT and one time I ripped off one of the atomizers, yikes!😬 But overall they provide quality decants and offer discounts to repeat customers.❤️
