Rawdah - fragrance brand

Project Overview

Rawdah is a fragrance brand selling eau de parfum in a faceted glass bottle, positioned on scent as memory rather than as a seasonal trend. itcroc built the full identity system starting from an ornamental wordmark set in a blackletterinfluenced display serif, its R carrying a decorative swash and its vowels marked with a stylized circumflex used for ornament rather than pronunciation. The mark runs across an Instagram profile and post set, a canvas tote bag, a folding gift box with a stone-textured interior tray, a sheer organza gift bag, and location photography shot on travertine steps and open hillside. A warm cream ground carries most of the applications, with a single burnt orange reserved for the packaging line and the logo lockup card, and a caramel brown carrying the wordmark and body copy on the lighter surfaces. Product photography favors natural light, golden hour tones, and outdoor settings, coastal stone, olive branches, and open hills, rather than a studio backdrop, so the scent’s promise of memory reads through the setting as much as through the bottle.

The Challenge

A fragrance brand’s wordmark has to do double duty, reading as a considered piece of type design on a bottle label held at arm’s length, and reading identically small on a phone screen inside an Instagram profile circle. Rawdah’s script carries real ornamental detail, a swash R and decorative diacritics, that risks losing definition at icon scale. The brand also runs two visually distinct product lines within the same system, a caramel amber wood scent and a lighter green
lavender scent, and both have to read as the same brand despite an almost opposite palette on the bottle itself.

Project Goals

  • Keep the wordmark’s swash R and circumflex detailing legible from the Instagram profile icon up to the folding box lid, since the ornament is the brand’s main point of differentiation.
  • Hold the cream-and-burnt-orange pairing as the fixed packaging combination, reserving full orange fills for the box and the logo lockup card rather than everyday social tiles.
  • Keep golden hour and natural stone settings as the default photography condition, since the brand’s memory-led promise depends on real light rather than a studio backdrop.
  • Bridge the amber wood and lavender product lines back to one identity by repeating the same wordmark, cap shape, and label layout on both bottles despite the opposite liquid color.
  • Fix the diacritic mark on the wordmark’s a’s to one shape across every application, since the current material shows a circumflex on the packaging and a lighter accent mark on the Instagram profile.

The Solution

An ornamental wordmark built for a swash R
The wordmark sets Rawdah in a blackletter-influenced display serif consistent with a face like Bagnard, the R carrying an extended swash stroke and the a’s marked with a decorative circumflex used purely as ornament. The same wordmark appears in white on the orange logo card, in caramel brown on the cream product label, and in brown foil on the tote bag, always at the same proportion.

Cream as the working ground, orange as the packaging signal
Most social and lifestyle applications run on a warm cream ground near #F1E6D6 with caramel brown type near #8A4B27. A single burnt orange near #E94E1F is reserved for the retail box, its interior card, and the logo lockup card, so orange reads as a packaging and identity signal rather than a general brand color.

Location photography over studio photography
The bottle is shot on travertine steps beside the sea, in an open hillside meadow, and against golden hour shadow, rather than against a plain backdrop. This choice ties the brand’s memory-led promise to a real place rather than a staged product shot.

One system, two product lines
The amber wood vanilla white musk scent runs gold liquid near #D8A643 with a gold cap, while the lavender white tea green bergamot scent runs a pale green liquid near #C7D79E with a black cap. Both bottles keep the identical label layout, wordmark placement, and typeface, so the product range reads as one brand rather than two.

Typography beyond the wordmark
Social headlines, “Wear what memories are made of,” “Find your scent, leave a lasting impression,” run in a highcontrast Didone serif consistent with Playfair Display Bold, set in tracked-out capitals. Ingredient and label copy on the bottle itself runs in a lighter serif consistent with EB Garamond or Cormorant.
