Designing a Fragrance House
Overview
Our role was to create a structured naming system and a visual identity that would position Blythe & Vale alongside some of the leading fragrance houses globally
Blythe & Vale is a London-based fragrance house, founded in 2024 and rooted in the tradition of British perfumery. The launch introduced three core products: No. 1, the signature intense fragrance; Morning, a lighter eau de toilette; and Velvet Crème, a refined hand cream designed to complement the range.


Designing a Fragrance House
The Challenge
The challenge was to ensure the naming and visual systems convey refinement and permanence. Luxury fragrance naming often falls into two extremes: overly poetic descriptions or purely technical classifications. Our task was to find a middle ground, names that feel evocative, but also structured and disciplined.



Designing a Fragrance House
The Solution
The typographic system combines a refined serif typeface with a modern editorial sans-serif. The serif communicates heritage and permanence, while the sans-serif introduces contemporary clarity.

Brand Naming Visual Language Design


The visual and naming system provides both immediate distinction and long-term flexibility, enabling the brand to expand its fragrance portfolio while maintaining coherence.
