A packaging and applicator device which is particularly advantageous for a
cosmetic product. The arrangement includes a container incorporating an
aperture and a cap intended to close the container aperture. The cap is
connected to an applicator by a rod and a resilient means of return. The
rod incorporates a first portion having a lengthwise axis. In one
example, the applicator is connected by a pivot zone to the first
portion, and the resilient means of return is arranged so as to constrain
the pivot zone such that the applicator is caused to form a non-zero
angle relative to the lengthwise axis.
