Lemon cologne is a major part of Turkish culture. It’s offered to guests to freshen up, given as a gift to ill people, used to arouse consciousness, used on cuts as a disinfectant and has many other uses. Every household would have a bottle of lemon cologne, so I decided to create a packaging design for it.

My inspirations were mostly cologne, perfume and soap packaging designs. I wanted to create something elegant with the Art nouveau elements.

For the brand name, I imagined a Turkish brand geared towards the western market in the 1920s, so Orient was a clear choice of name. As it has many uses, I thought of the slogan “A wonderful life elixir!” and “Brightens your day!” for its freshness.

All lemon flower cologne bottles have these degree signs and I think 80 degrees is the best quality, so I decided to include one in my design.

Next, I put together some thumbnails combining the elements I liked most.

I did hand lettering on Procreate on iPad and tried to keep all lines as loose and hand drawn as possible.

I wish I could find a better bottle for the mock up, but I ended up using the lemon cologne bottle at home, so it is as authentic as it can get! :)
