The Egyptians used oils infused with flower extracts as perfume. Many centuries later, the mastery of techniques such as distillation led to the widespread use of alcohol-based fragrances. Yet, in a way, the Egyptians were right: oil-based perfumes offer a number of distinct advantages. They moisturise the skin, retain scent for longer, are safe when exposed to the sun, and tend to last longer once applied.
In addition, the small size of the bottle makes it easy to carry at all times. The design deliberately moves away from that of a conventional fragrance, both in the glass bottle—shaped like a test tube—and in the packaging, which relies solely on typography arranged in an elegant and restrained graphic composition. All elements are printed on textured card, lending the product the premium look and tactile quality requested by the client.
