Vitrine
In our last project of the first year of the MA we were challenged to make a vitrine for “Farmácia Lemos” a perfume store in downtown Porto.
The idea was to create a theatrical sea environement with three layers, where something precious is hidden in a shell. The beauty as a treasure is something that inspire us, so we used a perfume to represent a pearl that illuminates the bottom of the sea. The layers have different shades of blue to create the ambience and the ideia of depth.

Understanding the Science of Perfume
Perfumes are a blend of different levels of scent, also called “notes”. When you spray a fragrance on your skin, it moves through these notes in the following order:
Top notes are what you smell first. They are also what disappears first, usually within 10 to 15 minutes.
Middle notes appear as the top notes die off. These are the fragrance’s core, determining which family the perfume belongs to — for example, oriental, woody, fresh, or floral.
Base notes accentuate and fix the fragrance’s middle notes, also known as its theme. They comprise the fragrance’s foundation, making the scent last up to 4 or 5 hours on your skin.
