Prompt to adapt
Use the perfume bottle in my photo. Place it upright on sand-colored stone with soft afternoon light from the side. Keep highlights off the label. Preserve the bottle shape, cap, liquid level and label wording. Add no text.
Styling ideas
Choose lighting for your bottle's finish
Start with the part of the bottle you need to show: the label, the outline or the glass texture.
Define curved glass
Use a narrow edge highlight against a dark background. Leave enough light on the bottle to show its shape and liquid level.
Show a frosted finish
Ask for diffused light with gentle shading across the glass. Use scent props only when they match the fragrance you sell.

Choose the setting
Adjust the surface, lighting and props in the prompt to suit your product.

Blush perfume bottle beside a rose petal
Use pale linen and diffused light around frosted glass. Add a rose petal only when it fits the fragrance you sell.
Prompt to adapt
Use the perfume bottle in my photo. Place it on pale linen beside one pale rose petal in soft morning light. Use a warm cream background and gentle glass highlights. Preserve the bottle, cap, liquid level and label.
Preparing and editing your product photos
Can AI photograph transparent perfume bottles?
Reference editing can produce new settings for glass bottles, but transparency and reflections need close inspection. Check the outline, liquid level and label against the source.
Should I add ingredients around the bottle?
Choose props that match the scent you sell. The frosted bottle example uses a rose petal beside the bottle. Leave the petal out or replace it when it does not fit your fragrance.
How should I photograph the bottle before uploading?
Show the cap, base and full label in a sharp photo. Move the light or camera if glare covers the wording. Include space around transparent edges so you can compare the shape after editing.
