The bottle was designed exclusively for Kiko by designer Ross Lovegrove. Its shape, colour, light and transparency render it truly unique. The elongated bottle is reminiscent of the refined sensuality of the female body. The subtle design and transparency of the glass create sophisticated tricks of light, while the wavy form of the cap is forged in the shape of a bud. The deep red pack enhances the sensuality of the scent, and is reminiscent of the keynote of Velvet Passion: the rose.
