About The Project
INSPIRATION
If I were to create a perfume company one day, I would name it Rosé Sauvage. I’ve always been captivated by the scent of perfumes and colognes—especially the rose-based fragrances found in Middle Eastern countries. Their bottles are often beautifully crafted and intricately detailed, which inspired me to design one of my own.
Process
HOW IT STARTS
When I began designing the bottle, my initial idea was to shape it like a rose. However, it never quite felt right. I continued exploring concepts, but none of them truly resonated with me.
That changed when my roommate returned from a trip home and brought her grandma’s rice-flour rose cookies, a traditional Iranian dessert. They were some of the best treats I’ve ever had—lightly fragrant in both taste and scent. As I looked at them more closely, I noticed the delicate patterns her grandma had created using a needle to form the intricate details. In that moment, everything clicked. Rather than forcing a literal rose shape, I could base the bottle design on the textures and patterns of those cookies.
Some of the cookies featured circular, precise motifs, while others resembled a more structured floral pattern. These subtle, handcrafted designs felt far more authentic to the essence I want Rosé Sauvage to embody.
SKETCHES
Style
COLOR, PATTERNS
It took me some time to determine not only the color palette for the bottles, but also the overall direction of the design. I experimented with various lighting setups, materials, and compositions—each significantly influencing the final outcome. For the box, I used ZBrush and applied a black-and-white alpha image, converting it into a 3D pattern to add depth and texture to the packaging.
