Green scent lettering inside an arched white candle label

Thé Yuzu gives a simple transparent candle vessel a recognisable front through its label silhouette. A broad pale panel rises into a central arch around the small circular maker seal; a green outline follows the perimeter. Tall green capitals stack the scent name in the large space below, while a compact dark line carries weight and wax wording near the base. The approved image surrounds this restrained artwork with tea leaves, green citrus and a bright yellow setting. Those props make the fragrance story more explicit without becoming part of the printed label.

Color Palette

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

Label

Warm white field
#F2EFE1
Approximate pale label background under warm photographic light. It remains visibly separate from the transparent margins around it.

Ink

Leaf green
#4F8C13
Approximate border, two-line scent name and short lower dash. It concentrates colour in a few strong marks rather than a full illustrated surface.
Dark seal lettering
#3F392C
Approximate small maker seal and technical footer. Its distinction from green is visible, though exact ink formulation and colour standards are unknown.

Typography

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

THÉ and YUZU occupy two large centred lines in a tall, relatively narrow sans serif. Their light-to-medium strokes feel open rather than heavy, leaving pale space within and around the characters. Above, the maker is divided into short stacked lines inside a small circular seal, with tiny perimeter wording. Below, a short horizontal dash marks a pause before the much smaller weight and wax statement. Scent is therefore the first textual read, maker the next, and practical detail the close-up read. The acute accent is part of the title's silhouette and needs room above the first line.

Structure & Proportions

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

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Wide label on a simple vessel	The panel covers much of the visible front width while leaving transparent margins and a clear base beneath it. Perspective does not yield a reliable wrap percentage.	—
Small maker above large scent	The circular identity occupies the raised arch, while the two-line scent uses the broad central field below.	—
Visible candle above the panel	The rim, pale fill surface and wick remain readable above the label, preserving the object's candle identity even when the front is dominated by graphics.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Vessel	Straight-sided clear cylinder with an elliptical rim in perspective.
Label crown	Broad rectangular panel with stepped shoulders rising into a central arch.
Maker seal	Small round device containing stacked lettering and tiny perimeter text.
Lower separator	Short horizontal green dash between title and footer.

Formats and materials


Formats	Straight-sided transparent cylindrical candle vessel, Open top with one visible wick and pale wax, Broad front label with a central raised arch
Materials	The official product page specifies 190 g of 100% soy wax and a lead-free cotton wick; these describe the candle contents rather than label or vessel manufacture., The clear tumbler has a glass-like appearance with a thick-looking base, but the inspected product text does not provide a vessel material specification or glass composition., Label substrate, adhesive, coating and exact cutting process are not documented. A paper-like appearance should not be promoted to a verified uncoated stock.
Closures	The candle is shown open, with the upper rim and unlit wick visible. No closure is fitted to the vessel. A round pale object in the foreground supports tea leaves, but this view does not establish that it is a supplied lid or that it fits the candle. Outer-box construction and any transport protection remain outside the selected image.
Decoration	Green perimeter with a central upward arch, Compact circular maker seal at the top, Large two-line scent title, Small horizontal dash above the technical footer

Front Panel

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

The outline does two jobs: it defines the label perimeter and raises the small maker seal into a distinct top compartment. The fragrance title sits lower in the broad uninterrupted field, with a simple dash and footer finishing the centred axis. Nothing in the artwork depicts a literal tea leaf or citrus slice. The name and green treatment carry the scent cue on the physical pack, while photography supplies the more literal associations. The curved lower edge in the image is affected by wrapping and perspective, so it is not an exact flat dieline.

Zone	Content
Arched maker area	Small dark circular La Belle Mèche seal with additional tiny perimeter wording.
Main scent field	THÉ above YUZU in large green narrow capitals, centred within a wide pale area.
Lower pause	Short green dash separates the title from the technical line.
Footer	Readable 190 g and vegetable-wax wording in small dark type. This is product information rather than a visible third-party certification.

Range System

This single inspected candle supports a scent-first hierarchy, not a verified map of the entire collection. The green border and title can act together as a variant cue, while the small maker seal could remain stable in an original range. Whether La Belle Mèche actually changes every fragrance's ink colour, vessel size or label shape requires additional product comparisons. The label's fairly generous centre leaves room for different title lengths, but longer names would still need individual fitting rather than arbitrary reduction.

The selected Thé Yuzu front repeats green in both border and scent name.
Its maker seal is smaller and visually independent of the main fragrance wording.
A hypothetical original candle series could preserve a clear title position while testing names with different lengths and accents; this is design guidance, not a documented brand manual.

Back of Pack & Shelf

The back, bottom and any outer carton are not visible. The product page includes further information, but that web content does not establish its physical label location.

No barcode, batch field or candle-use warning position is documented by this view.
Do not invent a wraparound information panel from the visible front silhouette.
For an original package, keep practical and safety information readable on the actual vessel or supplied packaging, with its final placement established separately.

On shelf

As a visual interpretation, the combination of a recognisable arched crown and a large two-line name offers two useful distances of recognition. The green border can survive as a simple outline at thumbnail size, while the exact scent becomes readable closer up. The fine maker-seal text will recede earlier and should not carry essential variant information. The photograph's saturated yellow background intensifies the presentation, so a neutral shelf could produce a quieter impression. Evaluating the label independently of those props would reveal how much recognition comes from the package itself.

Imagery

The candle stands on a fabric-covered pale block between a potted plant and a cut green citrus fruit. Tea leaves rest on a round pale prop in front, while long leaves cross the upper-right background. Yellow and green styling gives the scene a vivid summer mood, but the actual label remains restrained. The official scent description connects tea and citrus, supporting the broad association without proving the fruit's botanical identity. The wick is unlit: no flame or burning demonstration appears in the approved image. The pale wax and clear rim remain visible above the label.

Guidelines

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

Do

Give the scent name the largest readable field.
Use label silhouette to separate maker and variant roles.
Check accents and narrow counters at actual print size.
Keep photographic fragrance props distinct from printed artwork.
Evaluate the package on a neutral background as well as in a styled scene.

Don't

Do not describe the photographed wick as burning.
Do not identify the foreground round prop as a supplied lid without evidence.
Do not add background yellow to the pack's printed palette.
Do not infer a complete colour-coded range from one candle.
Do not copy the maker seal or exact arched outline.

It remains visibly separate from the transparent margins around it. - Leaf green: #4F8C13 — Approximate border, two-line scent name and short lower dash. It concentrates colour in a few strong marks rather than a full illustrated surface. - Dark seal lettering: #3F392C — Approximate small maker seal and technical footer. Its distinction from green is visible, though exact ink formulation and colour standards are unknown. Create a new scent-first hierarchy using a different label silhouette. Keep transparent margins but change vessel proportions and accent colour. Invent a fresh composition without citrus, tea props or tropical leaves. Image prompt: Create an original fictional candle for STILL COURT, named CEDAR WINDOW. Use a low broad clear vessel with pale wax and an unlit single wick. Apply a simple rectangular warm-white label with a fine muted-blue line only along its left edge. Place a small original maker name above a large two-line narrow sans-serif scent title, and reserve a quiet lower area for concise neutral product information. Do not reproduce existing logos, La Belle Mèche's circular seal or its arched green border. Photograph the candle alone on pale wood beside a folded blue cloth in cool daylight. Avoid copied ingredient, origin, sustainability or burn-time claims. ## Study sources & limitations - [Bougie Parfumée Thé Yuzu — La Belle Mèche](https://www.labellemeche.com/products/bougie-parfumee-the-yuzu) - Vessel material specification, label stock and printing process are not provided in the inspected source. - Exact fonts, physical colour standards and dimensions are unknown. - Back, base and any outer carton or supplied lid are not inspected. - The single selected candle does not establish the whole range's colour code. ### Evidence notes - **structure (source):** Official specifications identify 190 g, soy wax and a lead-free cotton wick.
