Bevelled clear flacon with peach label and faceted cap

Coco Mademoiselle is shown as a clear rectangular flacon with bevelled perimeter planes, a substantial transparent base and a broad faceted cap. A compact peach-looking front panel holds pale centred lettering inside a fine gold-coloured border. That border echoes the warm neck detail above. The selected image tilts the bottle into a splash of water, making its straight edges and soft cap appearance stand out against an unstable surface. This is David Lineton's personal photographic study, and its pink light should not be mistaken for a complete technical colour specification of the package.

Color Palette

Approximate colours interpreted from photography. These are screen references, not official brand colours or print specifications.

Pack body

Rose-tinted cap appearance
#D8B7A9
Approximate frosted-looking cap colour in this pink scene. A neutral-light cap colour standard was not established.

Label

Peach panel appearance
#E9AB91
Approximate front-panel colour under strong warm illumination. The image does not separate intrinsic label colour from transmitted and reflected pink light.

Ink

Pale centred lettering
#F5DCC8
Approximate light product and maker typography. Its contrast is softer than a black-on-white label and varies with the warm photographed panel.

Accent

Gold-coloured border and neck
#D4AA4B
Approximate warm reflective accent repeated at the label perimeter and neck. It does not identify a foil method, metal alloy or plating.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

The front panel centres four readable levels: COCO in large light capitals, MADEMOISELLE in a smaller line beneath, CHANEL as a separate strong maker line, then small spaced PARIS. The two names are divided by scale and vertical placement rather than a change to an ornate script. The fine rectangular border contains the whole group. This keeps the flat front panel ordered even when the bottle is tilted and surrounded by water. No confidently readable capacity or concentration line is present in the selected front view.

Structure & Proportions

Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Small panel inside a broad clear face	The label-like panel occupies a limited central area, leaving a transparent perimeter through which edges, liquid and lighting remain visible.	—
Wide cap over narrow neck	The cap spreads laterally beyond the neck, giving the top a distinct faceted silhouette without matching the body's full width.	—
Substantial lower edge	A thick-looking transparent base and bevelled corners create a visual frame around the product. This is an appearance, not a measured glass thickness.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Flacon body	Rectangular central plane surrounded by bevelled edge transitions.
Cap	Broad flattened faceted form with clipped corners; the rounded preview simplifies its actual planes.
Front panel	Small rectangular field with a fine reflective perimeter.

Formats and materials


Formats	Transparent rectangular fragrance flacon with bevelled edges, Broad flat-looking front panel and substantial clear base, Wide faceted fitted cap above a short narrow neck
Materials	The photographer describes glass bottles in this personal series, consistent with the transparent flacon shown. Exact glass composition, wall thickness and supplier are not established., The cap's frosted-looking appearance does not verify that it is etched glass, resin or another specified material., The warm reflective neck and panel border are visual observations, not confirmed metal or foil constructions. The front panel's substrate and attachment method remain unknown.
Closures	The official current product page identifies an Eau de Parfum spray, while the selected bottle is photographed with its cap fitted. The broad faceted top sits above a narrow gold-coloured neck and contrasts with the vertical rectangular body. The atomiser, cap fitment, removal force and spray output cannot be inspected through this closed view.
Decoration	Compact centred product and maker lettering, Fine rectangular panel border, Repeated warm accent connecting front and neck

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

The front panel is centred within the flat face and follows the bottle's axis. A thin gold-looking perimeter supplies a boundary without an elaborate ornamental frame. Product naming occupies the upper portion, maker identity the lower portion, and a small place line completes the stack. The restrained geometry remains distinct from the bottle's bright bevels and the water droplets around it. Exact print, film, paper or direct-decoration construction cannot be established from this image.

Zone	Content
Panel upper title	Large COCO above the smaller MADEMOISELLE line.
Panel maker area	CHANEL below the product identity, separated by space rather than a graphic divider.
Panel lower detail	Small spaced PARIS; no reliably readable quantity line in this photograph.
Panel perimeter	Fine gold-coloured border visually linking to the neck's warm accent.

Range System

The linked current official reference 116520 is a 3.4 fl oz Eau de Parfum spray, and the page indicates multiple sizes. The photographed bottle's capacity is not legible, so it is not assigned that size solely from the link. This study addresses the selected Coco Mademoiselle presentation, not other CHANEL fragrance families or every concentration. Shared rectangular forms elsewhere do not justify transferring their histories, cap symbolism or construction details here.

Product naming and maker naming remain separate within one compact panel.
A size extension would need to preserve panel readability as bottle proportions change.
A related fragrance cannot be assumed to use the same cap material or front-decoration process merely because its silhouette appears similar.

Back of Pack & Shelf

The reverse, underside, atomiser and carton are not visible. Current online ingredients and quantity do not reveal their placement on the pictured edition.

Keep the official current reference separate from the unverified photographed capacity.
Do not reconstruct batch markings or concentration text from the cropped front.
For original work, plan practical identification across the whole package rather than assuming the small front panel can carry every requirement.

On shelf

As an interpretation, bevelled edges can create visual depth around a simple panel without adding more printed content. The wide cap and thick-looking base also give the object distinct upper and lower boundaries. However, the pale lettering requires close contrast evaluation, particularly against warm reflections. The dynamic tilted scene draws attention to geometry, while a retail shelf presents a more static view. Testing both conditions would show how much recognition comes from the actual flacon versus the dramatic water and light around it.

Imagery

David Lineton describes Balancing as a personal series exploring fragrance bottles as physical objects. The exact image is identified on his page as a tipped Coco Mademoiselle bottle in shallow water with a peach glow and reflection. In the approved frame, one lower corner appears to meet the wet surface while droplets and a splash wrap the edges. The reflection doubles the geometric object below. This provides a primary photographic context rather than evidence of a commissioned CHANEL campaign. The image's motion and colour are part of its styling, not proof of package water resistance or a standard cap tint.

Guidelines

Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.

Do

Use perimeter geometry to add depth around a simple front.
Repeat a small accent across separate components.
Distinguish photographer-led personal work from brand campaign attribution.
Separate current commercial size information from photographed evidence.
Check pale typography under neutral and warm lighting.

Don't

Do not assign a cap material from frosting alone.
Do not treat a gold-looking border as verified foil.
Do not transfer another CHANEL fragrance's design history to this bottle.
Do not reproduce proprietary names, borders or the distinctive cap silhouette.

The image does not separate intrinsic label colour from transmitted and reflected pink light. - Pale centred lettering: #F5DCC8 — Approximate light product and maker typography. Its contrast is softer than a black-on-white label and varies with the warm photographed panel. - Gold-coloured border and neck: #D4AA4B — Approximate warm reflective accent repeated at the label perimeter and neck. It does not identify a foil method, metal alloy or plating. - Rose-tinted cap appearance: #D8B7A9 — Approximate frosted-looking cap colour in this pink scene. A neutral-light cap colour standard was not established. Keep a calm reading panel within an original structural form. Change cap geometry, panel position and accent material appearance. Use a new lighting setup rather than the tilted pink splash composition. Image prompt: Design an original fictional fragrance called QUIET MERIDIAN by ATELIER VALE. Use a tall clear bottle with softly curved vertical sides, a narrow cylindrical dark-green cap and an offset cream information panel with no border. Set the fragrance name in modest dark serif lettering and the maker in a separate small sans-serif line. Add one thin silver-coloured neck accent without implying a specific metal. Do not reproduce existing logos, CHANEL lettering, Coco Mademoiselle naming, the faceted wide cap or its gold-framed label. Photograph the bottle upright on dry pale stone against a cool-grey backdrop, without splashes or a mirror-like pink water reflection. Do not invent performance or environmental claims. ## Study sources & limitations - [COCO MADEMOISELLE Eau de Parfum Spray — CHANEL](https://www.chanel.com/us/fragrance/p/116520/coco-mademoiselle-eau-de-parfum-spray/) - [Balancing — David Lineton](https://www.davidlineton.com/projects/balancing) - Photographed capacity and exact edition date are unverified. - Glass composition, cap material, border process and neck construction are unspecified. - Warm light affects the cap, panel and apparent liquid colour. - The atomiser, reverse, underside and carton are not visible. ### Evidence notes - **edition (source):** The official current page identifies reference 116520 as a 3.4 fl oz Eau de Parfum spray; this is not treated as proof of photographed capacity.
