The fragrance (which is available as 30 ml Eau de Toilette) is described as the weapon of seduction and intended for modern young women who love fashion and glamorous parties. The ability of Surlyn® to be produced in caps as a representation of fine jewelry – with its crystal clear transparency, multi-faceted surfaces and glossy apprearance – made it the perfect material to produce the closure for molder Aarts Plastics, (Waalwijk, the Netherlands).
The DuPont material offers a unique combination of design freedom as beyond its aesthetic appeal of glass-like clarity and appealing tactile properties it provides scratch and abrasion resistance, toughness, and chemical resistance. These unique properties of Surlyn® allow designers to create stylish but functional caps which unify fragrances.
