AI Perfume Photography: Glass, Liquid and Refraction That Look Real

Quick answer: Perfume bottles look real when light passes through them. Use backlight or a strip light behind the bottle, describe the glass weight and liquid colour ("thick clear glass base, pale amber liquid"), add a soft reflection on the surface, and keep the cap and label from your real bottle reference. Add atmosphere like mist or petals around, not inside, the glass.

Why bottles look plastic

Front light makes glass flat. The AI also ignores thickness unless you name it, so the base and edges lose their weight.

Step by step

1. Photograph the real bottle as reference.
2. Light from behind or with two thin strip lights at the sides.
3. Describe glass: thick base, bevelled edges, clear or frosted.
4. Describe liquid: colour and fill level.
5. Add a reflective surface for a soft mirror image.
6. Build mood with mist, stone, flowers or water around it.
