BLOOM MYTHICA

BLOOM MYTHICA

Bloom Mythica by Sylva Naturals is a botanical fragrance that weaves soft florals with grounded, resinous depth. Opening with delicate elderflower, the scent blooms into the airy sweetness of lily of the field, before settling into a warm, earthy base of amber resin and oak. This fragrance is designed to evoke both lightness and mystery — an olfactory blend that captures the essence of nature’s gentleness grounded in strength.

Concept

Concept

The concept for Bloom Mythica was born from the idea of capturing the mythical beauty of nature in bloom — a scent that feels like walking through an untouched botanical garden steeped in history. I drew from vintage French botanical prints, clean Nordic packaging, and the atmospheric quality of earthy, hidden gardens. The word “Mythica” felt fitting — suggesting something enchanting, ancient, and slightly elusive. This duality between softness and depth influenced every design choice, resulting in a fragrance and visual identity that feels both ethereal and grounded.

Research

Research

This design research explores how contemporary botanical branding can merge minimalism with classical elegance to create a premium yet natural identity for fragrance packaging. In developing Bloom Mythica by Sylva Naturals, I examined historic apothecary labels, vintage botanical illustrations, and luxury fragrance branding, particularly those rooted in European and Nordic design aesthetics. The goal was to understand how natural ingredients—like elderflower, lily, amber resin, and oak—can be visually represented in a way that feels both authentic and aspirational. Typography studies focused on serif fonts that evoke timelessness, while color palette research leaned toward muted pastels and blush tones associated with softness and floral themes. This research informed the design choices that balance tradition with a modern, clean layout, reinforcing the brand’s position at the intersection of nature, sophistication, and sensory experience.
