LOOK AND FEEL
The materials chosen were to convey the luxury element to the brand, with a nod to the "deco" era. The fratal element to the bottle with light and the green glass playing a strong part in the design.

Regarding the above sketches, any designer worth their salt should be able to sketch the preliminary sketches.
