Under the brand “Vernel” and the name Suprême Perfume Pearls, Henkel is selling three differently scented varieties that promise fragrance for up to 20 weeks in a clear, easy-grip, contoured PET bottle that holds 260g. The container is sealed with a screw cap with two small openings, allowing the consumer to smell the scent in store on the shelf without taking this off. There is also a protective cap that functions as a dosing aid. Aromatic air is released from inside when the bottle is pressed. The bottle is decorated with a full sleeve label. www.vernel.de
