Perfume Nips and Perfume Typers

Perfume nips, small plastene or glass vials, were a charming and practical way to experience luxury fragrances in sample-sized amounts. These miniature vials, often containing just enough perfume for a few uses, were designed for on-the-go convenience, offering women a way to try new scents or carry their favorites without the need for bulky bottles. The elegance of perfume nips was in their simplicity—by breaking off the end of the vial, the perfume could be applied directly to the skin, or delicately dabbed onto a handkerchief for a more refined and subtle scent experience.

The most notable companies in the production of perfume nips were Nipola Products Company and Nips, Inc., who popularized this form of fragrance sampling. These companies recognized that perfume nips not only served as a practical solution for women but also acted as a brilliant marketing tool for perfume houses. By offering their fragrances in these small, portable vials, brands could entice customers to try perfumes they might otherwise have overlooked. The convenience of nips made them widely accessible and collectible, contributing to their lasting appeal in the perfume industry.

Their delicate design and ease of use made perfume nips a beloved accessory during the mid-20th century, combining functionality with a sense of glamour. Today, they remain an iconic piece of perfume history, a nostalgic nod to a time when even the smallest details in fragrance were crafted with elegance.
