The spice cabinet has been neglected in perfumery. I imagine this has to do with perfume producers not wanting to be pinned down by the literal, the prosaic, the kitchen. From the consumer...

Ferre is just never an innovator, always an imitator...does that bottle look familiar?

lol. Looks like they took the Dior Homme bottles and stuck on some Frederic Malle labels. I like the simple bottle designs but this is just getting unoriginal.

The design of the label looks unoriginal to me. Frederic Malle will not like it. As for the bottle, there is a problem which has to do with quantity.

For ???.??? pc the glass manufacturer will make you a mould from your own design. If you need fewer bottles, you have to buy "Stock Bottles". There are some good ones, but you may have seen them somewhere else before.

In the case you are presenting here, the Ferre bottle is actually a more expensive bottle than the Dior bottle. (Look at the weight in the base). Dior uses a stock bottle by Rocco Bormioli & Sons. I don't know the LM Bottle though.
