The brief

Aura is a French skincare line entering a market full of loud claims and over-promising labels. It needed an identity that felt premium and trustworthy, one that lets the product speak for itself.

The idea

The name says it all: an aura is the quiet glow of healthy skin, a signal rather than a shout. We built the brand around restraint, letting confidence come through simplicity instead of bold claims.

Brand identity

  • A clean, lowercase sans-serif wordmark, minimal, modern and effortlessly elegant
  • Montserrat as the supporting typeface, for clarity and consistency across every touchpoint
  • A palette of deep crimson and obsidian, softened by an ivory-pearl tone. It positions Aura closer to fine fragrance than mass-market skincare.

Packaging

One unified system across the whole range: serums, jars, tubes and shower gel. Each product shares the same calm hierarchy and colour language, so the line feels cohesive and premium on any shelf or bathroom counter.

Campaign

We extended the identity into the “But First, Skincare” campaign, applied to street posters and outdoor advertising. It’s a simple, confident message that brings the brand’s quiet luxury into the real world.

The result

Aura now has an identity that feels as refined as its formulas: understated, elegant and built for a brand that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our services to
help you understand better.

We already have brand recognition, how do you make sure a refresh doesn't lose what's working?

Before any design work starts, we audit what's actually working, what your audience already recognizes and responds to, separately from what's simply outdated. A refresh isn't a reset. We keep the equity you've earned and rebuild around what's actually holding the brand back.

Can you work alongside our existing team and vendors, not replace them?

Yes. We regularly work alongside internal marketing teams, existing developers, and other vendors, brought in for the parts that need us, not to take over everything. Files, guidelines, and specs are handed off in formats your team and other vendors can pick up directly.

Do we need to pause campaigns or launches while the rebrand happens?

No. Rebrand timelines are planned around your existing calendar, not the other way around. Campaigns and launches can continue under the current brand while the new identity is developed, with a clear cutover plan for when it's ready to go live.

How do you keep the new brand consistent across everything we already have live, sire, packagin, social?

Every rebrand includes a full inventory of where your current brand lives, site, packaging, social, print, mapped against what needs updating first, later, or not at all. You get a rollout plan, not just new files with no instructions for where they go.

How involved do we need to be day-to-day?

As much or as little as you want. Structured check-ins happen at key decision points, not constant back-and-forth, so you stay informed and approve direction without it becoming another job on your plate.
