Six Heures

A fragrance that only exists as an image: three packshots, a 15-second vertical spot and its breakdown, from clay pass to final render.

Six Heures has never been photographed. This Maison Aurelle eau de parfum, with Grasse jasmine, only exists as an image. That image has to make you want it.

Three packshots, three moods: the bottle lying among flowers, resting on a backlit hand, standing in smoke.

I first validated each image as a clay pass, with no material or color. Shape, light and proportions are settled before the glass, the copper and the paper of the label.

The 15-second spot carries this world into vertical. Its breakdown shows the steps, from clay to the final render, then grading. Maison Aurelle is a fictional brand.
