Overview & background
Classic colognes and aftershaves carry a barbershop and apothecary heritage, and the faceted octagonal bottle is a long-standing expression of it — the eight panels feel traditional and masculine and recall the cut-glass flacons of old grooming counters. The shape is itself a heritage cue.
Its flat facets are practical too, giving stable panels for an embossed crest, a wax-seal-style label or classic typography.
