A beauty brand that doesn't shout to be heard.

Clara was a perfumer with a notebook full of formulations and a clear point of view. We helped her launch the brand, the storefront, and the content engine — and watched it cross $1.2M in its first year on the strength of word-of-mouth and a brand worth talking about.

The brief

A founder, a notebook, and 11 months to launch.

Clara had spent four years formulating, two years sourcing, and was about to launch with a brand that was, in her words, "embarrassingly under-thought." She didn't want a shouty DTC brand. She wanted something that felt like her. We had to translate a quiet, considered point of view into a brand system — packaging, site, content — without losing the thing that made her notebook interesting in the first place.

I don't want to launch with a brand I'll be embarrassed by in two years.

What we did

Identity, packaging, Shopify, and a launch content engine.

  • Brand identity around editorial typography, off-white papers and a desaturated palette pulled from her formulation notes.
  • Packaging across 12 SKUs — three product lines, three sizes — with refill structures that worked without seeming preachy.
  • A Shopify storefront with quiz-based product matching and considered, slow-paced photography.
  • A founder-led content series — five short films, a substack-style newsletter, and a podcast plan she eventually executed.
  • A measured paid-media plan focused on repeat purchase and lifetime value over first-buy CAC.
EDITORIAL — FILM SERIES
