In the 1960s and 1970s, designers at Unimark International created a number of packaging and product lines for Gillette and its subsidiaries like Colton. One of those projects was My Islands Cologne.
The stacking bottles were developed by Lella Vignelli. When stacked, they appear to be one bottle. They were packaged in hexagonal silver tube-like boxes with Bodoni typeface running along the sides. Scents included Barbados, Skye, Majorca, Corfu, and Morea.
Enjoy these digitized vintage 35mm slides from the Unimark International records from the archives. The bottles and packaging are also on display in our galleries which are temporarily closed due to Covid-19. Once we are open again, the very brave can visit the archives and smell this 50+ year old cologne for themselves. Do you think cologne ages like wine?
