About Wildheart Organics Aromatherapy Candles
A premium look for an impeccably organic scented soy candle line. The idea was to break into higher-end retailers with a look that would stand up to the quality of the product, to be communicated through the product livery. Material selection and finishes are key to consumers' perceptions, from both an initial impression to a second more considered evaluation. The colours used are derived from the plants and herbs that make each of the fragrances. The illustrations have an ethereal quality, alluding to scent dissipating into the air as a candle burns.

- On a functional note, the brand’s previous boxes weren’t holding up well in shipment. Depot created a packaging solution that was physically sturdy, yet visually delicate. A premium hand feel combines with light colors and ethereal illustrations that allude to the plant-based scents that dissipate into the air as the candle burns. Colors create a visual identity for 52 products across 5 ranges. The effect makes the organic claim legible, while creating a more polished, luxurious experience overall.
- Inspiration
- Whiff of luxury.
It’s rare among candle brands to insist on all organic ingredients, a point of difference we took to heart when tasked with packaging Wildheart’s precious olfactory experiences. The idea was to break into higher end retailers with a look that would stand up to the rare quality of the product.
