The worst bottle design in the universe...

I saw the other thread about the best bottle design in the universe and thought about flipping the coin. What is the worst fragrance bottle for men that you have ever seen? Did it ever stop you from buying a bottle?

Personally, this is probably the tackiest and most disgusting bottle I have ever seen (it has stopped from sampling it despite praise - I dont want to like it because it would ruin my bathroom):

indeed, looks like a dildo. To me it's PR 1 million, just way tacky...the scent is great but in Europe it's overworn by teenage kids and hicks so I avoid it.

Fully agree! I went to a department store about the same time as it came out and the sales clerk brought that thing and said "you should try this lovely new fragrance from paco rabanne". I could not help but feeling I wanted to get it over with - people in the vicinity might think I went for the plastic gold bullion by visual affect. So tacky it's unbelievable.

I agree. The scent itself is ok and girls love, but I just can't make myself to own it for the reason mentioned.

This gets my vote:



AZTEK by Yves Rocher

The bottle turns my stomach. Looks like a bloody turd.

I keep laughing at this bottle. That is one designer without a job. Wow. I find it hard to believe that anyone will come up with anything that beats this.

I think this one is bad...it's a freaking light bulb! (not as bad as the Rochas butt-plug though)

I still think the silly fist of Diesel Only the Brave is tasteless, and the Ironman "limited edition" red fist only slightly more tasteless.

This harkens back to those novelty decanters sold by Avon in the 1970s...shaped like sports cars and other things masculine...
