Lancôme Paris / Fragrance Launch Brochure

See this book brochure in page form

This November, Lancôme Paris is relaunching a limited edition, 1967 vintage fragrance, called Climat, named for the novel by french author, André Maurois. 

Climat is a perfect alchemy of scents, an ode to youth and elegance, that speaks to every woman.

This 8-page elegant book romantically illustrates the essence of the fragrance while educating the sales team about the history of Lancôme. Sakes Fifth Avenue has a very close relationship to this fragrance and it's original debut, explaining the exclusivity.

The perfumes of this collection were released in elegant, transparent bottles designed in the early 1960's by one of founders of the house of Lancôme, George Delhomme. Climat is an irresistible fragrance, a spring garden of warm climates. The base notes are delicate: spring lily-of-the-valley and narcissus, deep and warm heliotrope, vetiver and sweet tuberose.

Climat is available as an ultra-limited edition only at Saks Fifth Avenue, New York.

Lancôme / Absolue L'Extrait

Lancôme Paris asked me to design an announcement for Absolue L'Extrait for Lancome Learning. 

This 6-card announcement reveals the product slowly as the recipient peels away layers of vellum and alternating cards, some with smokey veils, some with lacy screens. All pieces were encased in a 14-carat gold cover stock envelope and was wrapped with a magenta ribbon and rose.
