The 100ml Glass Bottle: An Overview

• Capacity: 100 milliliters (ml). This is often considered the "full-size" or "standard large" bottle in a perfume lineup, sitting between the 50ml (common entry size) and 200ml (large, value size).

• Material: Almost exclusively made of glass, chosen for its non-reactive properties to preserve the fragrance integrity.

• Typical Use: The primary bottle for a signature scent or a favorite fragrance that will be used regularly.

Advantages of the 100ml Size

1. Better Value (Cost per ml): This is the biggest advantage. Fragrances are almost always cheaper per milliliter in a 100ml bottle compared to a 50ml bottle. You get twice the juice for less than twice the price.

2. Ideal for Daily Use: It provides a substantial amount of perfume that will last for months with regular use, making it perfect for a go-to signature scent.

3. Substantial Presence: The bottle often has a satisfying weight and presence on a vanity or dresser, allowing for the full expression of the brand's design and craftsmanship.

4. Collectibility: For those who collect perfumes, the 100ml is often the standard size that is kept and displayed.

   

   

   Potential Disadvantages

   1. Higher Upfront Cost: While the value is better, the initial purchase price is higher than a 50ml bottle.

   2. Heavier & Less Portable: It is not a travel-friendly size. It's heavy and, if broken, would mean a significant loss.

   3. Risk of Stagnation: If you have a large collection and rotate scents frequently, it can take years to finish a 100ml bottle. Over many years, even well-stored fragrances can very slowly change or evaporate.

   4. Commitment: It's a significant commitment to a single fragrance. If you get tired of the scent, you're left with a large amount of perfume.
