Perfume Garoa - Creative Book
Postgraduate in Art Direction
This is a project that began with a smell. We were to create a visual universe from a single smell and turned it into a commercial perfume. This is the creative book that contains all the references, inspiration and guidelines to produce that perfume. This project was complemented with a trip to Paris where we learned the basics of cool hunting in order to apply them to this project and that's how Garoa was born.
