We are thrilled to share these conceptual one-off flaçons for Wolfsbane, Poppy Soma, Hemlock, and Bloodflower.

The fantasy bottle design for WOLFSBANE eau de parfum renders a stem of enlarged, surrealistic Wolfsbane flowers placed into a 19th century, skull-emblazoned absinthe bottle with the flowers serving as a removable dipping wand and the absinthe bottle serving as the base.

The fantasy bottle design for POPPY SOMA extrait de parfum features a realistic red poppy flower perched atop its own seed pod, rendering an impossible "before-and-after" scenario. The flower serves as dip wand and the seed pod as base.
The white milky drops are renderings of the “soma”, nectar collected and later refined into opium.

For the HEMLOCK fantasy bottle, we rendered a black vinyl-clad hand reaching out of a "metal" chalice of ominous black liquid, proffering a bouquet of poisonous Hemlock flowers. The bouquet and hand serve as the dip wand and the chalice as the bottle base.
HEMLOCK eau de toilette was inspired by the namesake poison adminstered to condemned prisoners in the Ancient Greek world.

For the surreal BLOODFLOWER fantasy bottle, a single exaggerated Bloodflower emerges out of a flash-dried droplet of blood, with the flower serving as dipping wand and the blood droplet serving as base.
BLOODFLOWER eau de parfum imagines what a vampire might be thinking as it laps away at the blood oozing from one’s neck.
