It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a novel perfume bottle structure including easily detachable decorative articles and frame bodies, whereby the assembly of the perfume bottle can be changed to enhance the appearance.




It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above perfume bottle structure which has simple structure and can be easily mass-produced.




It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above perfume bottle structure which is equipped with a fixing seat having double-face gum so that the perfume bottle can be freely firmly located at a desired place to achieve a decorative effect.




The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
