The Pompadour Packaging

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2022

This rectangular product photograph presents a perfume vessel as its primary subject, positioned diagonally across the center of the composition against a cream-colored textured background. The vessel stands approximately three-quarters of the image height, cylindrical in form with a silver metallic finish that gleams with cool, sophisticated luminosity. Beginning at the top, a rounded cap displays an intricate diamond-pattern texture, each small pyramid catching light to create a shimmering grid effect that feels cool and precise to imagine touching, like finely machined aluminum or steel. A polished silver band encircles the vessel below the cap, bearing the product name in raised lettering. The middle section presents the most visually striking element: vertical parallel lines in three colors—warm crimson red like fresh ribbon, soft ivory white, and cool sky blue—creating a striped pattern that appears to curve and shift as if wrapped around the cylindrical form. These colors warm the otherwise cool metallic composition like a sunset breaking through silver clouds. Below another polished band, the lower section repeats the diamond-knurl texture of the cap. The vessel rests upon a printed card positioned at an angle, its cream-colored surface bearing text in various sizes and styles, with a circular emblem visible at left. Moving to the upper right corner, a black bow tie enters the frame, its silk fabric displaying the characteristic sheen of formal evening wear, soft and flowing like dark water. The background texture suggests fine leather grain in warm ivory, providing subtle visual interest while maintaining focus on the primary subject. The overall lighting feels gentle and diffused, creating soft shadows beneath the objects and modeling the cylindrical form with gradual tonal transitions from bright highlight to subtle shadow.

The Pompadour is the pocket companion for the discerning gentlemen who want to reflect for themselves. Launched as a luxurious classy fragrance it captures the camaraderie of the classic English barbershop. The Pompadour was created to remind its targeted consumers of the 18th and 19th century where the barbershop was not only a place for gentlemen to procure a haircut or shave but a space where fraternities were formed. A truly iconic design for aspiring and classy gentlemen who seek experiences that help project them as being sophisticated and in the know.
