Display bottle created to promote the fragrance Dune Pour Homme Eau de Toilette by Christian Dior. These types of pieces, typically produced in large sizes, were intended for display cases, perfume shops, and retail outlets—not for cosmetic use. The piece features a clear glass body with curved lines and a gently rectangular profile, rounded shoulders, and a hemispherical chrome cap, in a simple and refined design. It retains the inscription “Dune / Pour Homme / Eau de Toilette / Christian Dior / Paris” on the front.

Dummy bottles are part of a specialized field of collecting linked to the history of perfumery, advertising, and major fashion houses. Their appeal lies both in their decorative value and in their role as promotional materials, designed to capture attention in store windows and commercial spaces. Since these are display items, many were removed, replaced, or discarded after the campaigns ended, which lends special appeal to the surviving examples, especially when they come from iconic brands such as Christian Dior.
