Aptar Beauty has announced the first launch to market of its Nomad Refill fragrance packaging innovation with the new BVLGARI Le Gemme Tygar travel spray. Custom-engineered to pair refined aesthetics with practical functionality, it combines a sophisticated aluminium outer casing topped with a marble cap and gold metallic details, and a refillable 10ml glass vial. Designed as a true objet d’art, this new launch brings together luxury aesthetics and intuitive refill gesture in a convenient on-the-go format.

The refillable travel spray combines precious materials, masterful craftsmanship and refined functionality. Le Gemme Tygar Travel Spray is based on Aptar Beauty’s Nomad Refill platform, the industry’s first 10ml purse spray that is directly refillable on the full-size perfume bottles in less than five seconds, in a clean and secure way. The inside glass vial can be easily removed from the bottom of the main casing and conveniently refilled thanks to a patented integrated connector at its base, compatible with SNI15 screw-on neck finishes. This sealed connection helps prevent leakage and spillage throughout the refill process, enhancing both convenience and product performance. According to Aptar, this intuitive refill gesture is unique on the market and truly elevates the user experience for on-the-go fragrance touch-ups.

To bring BVLGARI’s vision to life, Aptar Beauty created a fully customised outer case in alignment with distinctive visual codes inspired by the iconic door of the Via Condotti BVLGARI Boutique in Roma. The travel spray features a sleek black anodized aluminium casing enhanced with sophisticated golden finishing. It is crowned with a black marble cap with elegant white veining with a magnetic closure insert for a precise and intuitive opening and closing ritual. A golden aluminium plaque is engraved with the signature BVLGARI logotype on the top.

“Integrating natural marble into the design is a real technical achievement,” said Stephan Brandts, senior sales manager, custom beauty EMEA at Aptar.. “Our custom experts worked hand in hand with BVLGARI to ensure visual consistency and a seamless assembly into the rest of the packaging.” 

“The quality of the packaging, and specifically the marble cap, is remarkable and fully meets our expectations. We are proud of this successful collaboration and the excellent project management achieved alongside the Aptar Beauty teams,” commented Johan Duval, head of development at BVLGARI.

The design challenge for this project lay in mastering the aesthetic complexities of natural stone and selecting the right type of marble to ensure a consistent colour, quality and veining density for each piece. The precious Black Marquina marble achieves this delicate balance between the natural, unique character of each piece and the overall quality and uniformity expected from a luxury object. Both the manufacturing and assembly required extensive design and engineering to ensure seamless integration of the marble, aluminium, metallic components with the dispensing system into a robust, portable packaging, said Aptar.
