The Old Beauty Trick Found in Every Purse – Can You Guess What It Is?

 

Do you remember how your mom used to try to look different before going out? She would always take out a small, nicely made glass bottle from her purse, give it a quick shake, and the room would be filled with a lovely, gentle scent. That tiny bottle wasn't just any perfume container – it was a special type called a perfume ampule, also known as perfume nips. During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, small glass perfume bottles were very popular among women. They were a fashionable way to smell nice and look classy for the day.



Perfume ampoules were slender glass containers with a small amount of perfume for one or two uses. Since they were closed on both sides, they were easy to carry and small, perfect for keeping in a purse for a special occasion or for touching up makeup. It's easy for the user to break the colored glass tip, release the scent, and apply it right away. Many women who used small perfume bottles, especially those who often went to parties and events, found these bottles very convenient for them.



However, they were very good at what they did, even though they were not simple. Ampules also had different wax seals or colored glass tips and looked very pretty, like tiny pieces of art. The ampules were beautiful not just because of their scent, but also because of how elegantly they were used.
