In this creative concept, ARTiSTORY took inspiration from the British Library's collections including Shakespeare's plays like Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring exquisite illustrations by Walter Crane. The "Shakespeare's Garden Perfume Collection" includes perfumes such as "Four Red Roses on a Stalk" and "Enter Ophelia," which capture the essence of Shakespeare's floral imagery. With 40 enchanting illustrations of Shakespeare's best-known quotes on plants and flowers, brands can reflect on the era's love for floral scents and Shakespeare's botanical passion, which can help enrich buyers' appreciation of Shakespeare's literary and botanical artistry.
The "Love Potions" Perfume Collection is a creative concept inspired by the British Library's collections that include Shakespeare's use of flowers and plants as powerful metaphors in his works. This concept, featuring manuscripts and botanical illustrations, highlights Shakespeare's passion for plants and their symbolic roles in storytelling. The fragrance "Ophelia" captures the duality of love and tragedy, with daisies symbolizing Ophelia's untouched and tender spirit. These flowers reflect her gentle nature and tragic fate, embodying the purity and innocence of love.
The "Last Chile Sandalwood" Perfume, a concept from ARTiSTORY inspired by Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, resurrects the long-lost scent of the extinct Chile sandalwood (Santalum fernandezianum).
