Our New Look at Soivohle

Since I have been busy rebuilding our Soivohle website, I thought I would share one of the new images. A collage of our Signature Collection Bottles, along with the poem that you will no doubt recognize from the label on our snap closure boxes.
The new labels do not have the poem, yet I wanted to keep it alive, so am using it here. We are also adding finally, the note cards from my Flowers 2000 Photographic series. And will offer soon after mini, open edition prints of the flowers as well.
We may even offer a series of prints and cards based on the new digital artwork that I am creating for the website and all Soivohle materials, press kits, etc.
This will depend on our pro-printers. They have been stored away for a few years. So it depends on the availability of ink and if I can update the drivers again. After so many years these things become impossible, yet with expensive graphics equipment, it should be easier to obtain what we need.  We'll see.

Soivohle Art Liquide, Spray Essence

Paper, Assembly Line or Hand. The new labels for the Demi-Absolute bottles are my hand written signature. I had at one point signed the box, and then the extrait lg bottles. Now every bottle in the collection is signed. The thought of doing another stick on label was not an option, and although I had almost sealed the deal to have the bottles screen printed with the Soivohle logo, the thought of having them run through the factory again was not so appealing. At least not for this collection, this work. I may still have the Studio Collection bottles printed. I am so over stick on labels.
Anyone who has ever seen my cat scratch signature will recognize it on the bottle. Being a bit bolder than when I was younger, as I signed my paintings on the back side of the canvas. Mainly due to the thick texture of the painting, but also because I went through a period when I wanted the art to shine 100% without any distractions. With painting there is no question as to what it is. With essence, as I mentioned in the earlier post and posts, artistry is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. Hopefully that will change. I am intent on making it so.Not only with Soivohle, but through presenting Scent Art Installations and workshops. Next Installation will be In November at our Scentual Artistry Studio/Boutique in Cincinnati. If you look at the image of our studio in the sidebar here, the table in the forefront with the down turned glass globes is a scent art installation. When you turn the globes up the essence is inside. It is a spin on the Monclin concept, originally intended for smelling perfume.

New Look

Our new concept will be based on two concentrations. Absolute (parfum/extrait)  and Demi-Absolute (a lesser concentration that can range from EDT to EDP) All of our current EDP's and EDT's are of a higher concentration than industry standards, and will not be altered. This image is for the new Demi-Absolute Spray 35ml. The bottle for the Absolute will not change. We will continue to use the reverse tapered bottle with the silver mushroom cap.

The box for the Absolute is square. It opens from the top, where as the Demi opens (see image) from the side.
