Make-Up & Beauty – Caudalie Milan Design Week 2026

DESIGN

Created for a new fragrance, where nature is at the heart of a the beauty brand.  My handprinted illustrations unfold in soft gesture, bringing the scent to life.

This visual language I then used on a series of hand painted invites for the launch in Italy during Milan Design Week and on tote bags along side a series of live painting activations across Milan for Milan Design Week 2026..

nd painted, gestural illustration of a purple Caudalie Thé des Vignes Eau Fraîche bottle surrounded by loose ink drawings of grape clusters, vine leaves, and botanical elements, subtly animated to evoke movement and the feeling of scent. 2. Minimal / luxury From print to motion. A gestural study of scent, brought to life. For a new fragrance. 3. Artistic / process-led Handprinted. Imperfect. Alive. Letting the ink move the way scent does—fluid, fleeting, and full of feeling. An illustration that evolves beyond the page. 4. Brand-aligned (nature + French beauty feel) Rooted in nature, expressed in ink. A handprinted illustration blooming into motion—capturing the spirit of a new fragrance. 5. Slightly more expressive / signature tone Where ink wanders, something begins. A handprinted piece, animated in gesture—echoing the quiet poetry of scent. If you want it sharper or more “Instagram hook”-y, I can tailor it to your exact audience (more editorial, more playful, more sales-driven, etc.). Uploaded image please can you write seo text for this caudaline animated illustration Here’s a strong SEO-optimized description you can use (for Instagram, portfolio, or website): A handprinted, gestural illustration brought to life through animation for Caudalie’s Thé des Vignes fragrance. Inspired by the softness of vineyard landscapes, the artwork blends fluid ink lines, botanical motifs, and delicate movement to evoke the sensory experience of scent. The composition features loose, expressive brushwork depicting grape clusters, vine leaves, and natural elements—capturing the essence of Thé des Vignes’ signature notes of white musk, neroli, and ginger. Through subtle animation, the illustration evolves beyond the page, creating a poetic dialogue between fragrance and form. Rooted in a hand-drawn, tactile process, this piece reflects a contemporary approach to luxury beauty storytelling—where craftsmanship, nature, and motion design meet. The result is an elegant, organic visual narrative that mirrors the freshness and lightness of the fragrance.
