Duende perfume by Jesús del Pozo, a floral fragrance for women launched in 1992. Created by perfumer Olivier Cresp, the bottle was designed by Juan Gatti. The twisted transparent glass stopper represents a drop of water. Top notes include lime blossom, melon, bergamot and mandarin. Heart notes are mimosa, jasmine and ylang-ylang. Base notes contain wormwood, thyme, cedar and sandalwood.

The large display bottles of top-brand perfumes, also called factices, are key pieces in the windows of luxury perfumeries, such as the historic Perfumerías Regia. Their main purpose is the advertising display and the enhancement of the brand's prestige on a large scale. These bottles are exact and monumental replicas of the retail packaging, typically varying between 30 and 60 cm in height to capture the attention of the passerby. Their design is identical to the original (copying the shape of the glass, the cap and even the typography). In the context of prestigious perfumeries, these replicas function as a symbol of status and luxury. As the focal point of the window display, they reinforce the brand image of international houses (such as Chanel, Dior or Guerlain) and become a form of three-dimensional advertising that ensures that the iconic shape of the bottle is immediately associated with the exclusivity of the product.
