Equally elegant and totally consistent with the Bleu perfume, the Chanel shower gel appealed to jury members owing to its flip top and easy handling. No more caps trailing in the bathroom!

The flip top was manufactured by SAF. Pinard created the bottle. The case and wavy pattern come from Wauters / Nicollet.

The original idea according to which authenticity and luxury should be expressed by a powder was embodied in the Ora Ito design.  The refined shape and transparent dome of the object dwarfed other entries. From a technical stance, the base is a single, overmolded block; the top (complex part of the case) is made up of 5 components. Finally, a ring holds the system together. The Guerlain teams wished to thank Albéa, their supplier.

Achieve irresistible attraction in a click. That was the idea formulated by the Helena Rubinstein marketing teams. Pushing the press top to release the tube of red lipstick was deemed a very elegant new form of handling, which the jury wished to reward. Cosfibel is one of the suppliers thanked.

The Helena Rubinstein teams are used to creating make-up products that resemble jewels. The award-winning mascara proves this point. Shapely garbed in black lace, the tube is as sexy as product communication would have us believe: « uplift volume, provocative curves, sexy corset ». Yet decorating the tube proved a major challenge for the technical team: the lace was produced by Seidel and its partners using silkscreen techniques rounded off by flocking.  

The design is signed by Philippe Mouquet. He drew inspiration from a pocket magnifying glass to create the object. The technical difficulty, an unprecedented challenge, consisted in making a stirrup turn around a glass bottle. The solution was found by creating a virtual axis in 2 mm aluminium in an indent in the bottle. The bottle can, moreover, be refilled. The following suppliers/partners were thanked: SGD and Verreries Pochet et du Courval (glass), Pivaudran (drawing), Ipack (injection and assembly) and CNP Vaudreil (packaging).

To celebrate the 150^th anniversary of the birth of René Lalique, the teams of this renowned firm decided to use lily-of-the-valley, a symbol of renewal that fascinated the creator. The challenge consisted in suspending its little bells in the upper segment of the bottle. This bottle with pure lines in which the flowers seem to float fully meets the challenge. Not a single injection point is visible. Thanks go to Pochet (for the glass), VPI (surlyn shoulder segment), Rexam (pump) and Cartondruck (cardboard).

A hand-blown Lalique bottle embodies the award-winning perfume. It was specially created for the 60^th anniversary of the iconic Nina Ricci line, « Air du temps ».  Its design is a real technical feat: difficulty controling the thickness and cooling of the black glass, first box in cardboard covered by shiny vinyl, second box in black lacquer wood with a satin interior, hot stamping, etc. Altogether, the various steps to create a single collector perfume would take half a day. The jury was overwhelmed by so many achievements.  « L’air du Temps » collector by Nina Ricci will go down in the history of PCD Awards. C Group /LF Beauty (lacquer wood box), ECR1 (protection box) and Lalique were warmly thanked.
