MARIS AZUR — Creative Direction: The Psychology of Blue
For this concept, I didn’t want blue to function simply as a colour. I wanted it to become an emotional language. Blue has a fascinating psychological contradiction. We associate it with calm, clarity, trust and openness — but it can also feel distant, mysterious and almost untouchable. That tension became the foundation of MARIS AZUR. My inspiration came from the relationship between three forms of blue: the human eye, the Mediterranean Sea and crystal glass. #AICreativeDirection #LuxuryAdvertising #PerfumeCampaign #FragranceDesign #VisualStorytelling

Eye, sea and glass is a good triad because all three are blue you look through rather than blue you look at. What usually decides which side of your contradiction a viewer lands on is the temperature of the light around the blue, not the hue itself — cold light and it reads clinical, warm light and the same value reads intimate.
