The customer wanted to establish a high-end brand with distinguished products. The company stands out with its refined manufacturing techniques thanks to its Charentais alembic still. This led us to create a brand that reflects class and elegance. We were looking to reach an audience that appreciates quality and who is looking for products that impress.

The brand’s name refers to the entrepreneur’s grandmother’s first name, who passed on the love of spirits to her family. In a predominantly male field, establishing a brand with rather feminine imaginary, will attract the attention of a diversified public. This nominal allowed us to distinguish the brand from their competition with a more feminine approach, contrasting with the masculine environment of distilling. Without falling into obvious female clichés, too close to sexism, we were successful in inspiring a different feeling; feminine, but classy and respectful.

The visual treatment suggests a refined product. The golden logo will be perfectly in tune with the packaging of the bottles. Its shape reminds us of a rose, but also the movement of the precious liquid.

The dark and hushed colours matched with the thin gold threads and a texture that reminds us of marble, and added the chic touch we were looking for to easily place the brand in the high-end category. This resulted in a  design that can easily be adapted to create a series that is visually consistent and easily identifiable.
