# Imagery Brief — Les Enfants Sauvages (Noir Sauvage)

**Art direction (the constant):** Editorial chiaroscuro on near-black. One warm low key light, deep falloff into shadow. Affluent skin shown as texture, never a smiling model, never a bathroom shelf. The gold roll-on photographed like fine jewellery. Botanicals on dark stone. **Grain present, gloss absent.**

**Palette refs to feed the model:** Onyx Ground `#0e1310`, Wild Forest `#1f2a23`, Gilded Gold `#c39b46` (highlights `#e7c46a`), Bone Ivory `#f3ede0`, Oxblood `#6b2330` (rare).

**Universal negatives (append to every prompt):**
> no smiling models, no lifestyle stock, no bathroom or shelf, no bright even daylight, no flat e-commerce white, no eucalyptus/spa/towel wellness clichés, no clean-girl aesthetic, no glossy plastic retouch, no text or watermark, no garish color, no HDR, no purple gradient.

## 1 · Hero — editorial skin (landing / IG hero)
**Subject:** A single bare shoulder and collarbone of an affluent woman, the gold roll-on resting against the skin.
**Composition:** Tight editorial crop, subject off-center right, generous negative shadow left for headline. Vertical 4:5.
**Light:** One warm low key from camera-left, deep falloff to near-black; a faint gold rim on the collarbone.
**Palette/mood:** Onyx Ground ground, Gilded Gold catchlight on the cap, Bone Ivory skin. Opulent, knowing, a little dangerous.
**Negatives:** + no face/smile in frame, no jewelry competing with the bottle.

## 2 · Product macro — the roll-on as jewellery (PDP / Shopping)
**Subject:** Extreme macro of the brushed gold roll-on cap, a single bead of product catching one specular highlight.
**Composition:** Bottle vertical, slightly off-axis, filling two-thirds of a 4:5 frame; deep black around it.
**Light:** Single hard warm key raking across the brushed metal; one clean specular streak, everything else falling to shadow.
**Palette/mood:** Gilded Gold metal on Onyx Ground, a whisper of Wild Forest in the glass. Fine-jewellery still life.
**Negatives:** + no reflection of a studio/softbox, no white sweep, no condensation-clean e-comm look.

## 3 · Google / PMax creative — claim-led still (ad asset)
**Subject:** The roll-on standing on dark stone, one torn laurel leaf beside it, deep negative space above for an overlaid claim ("No aluminium. No alcohol.").
**Composition:** Bottle lower-third, vast shadowed headroom; square 1:1 and 4:5 variants.
**Light:** Single warm low key, theatrical falloff; the laurel half in shadow.
**Palette/mood:** Onyx Ground, Gilded Gold, one Oxblood accent permissible if a "removed" word is shown struck through. Editorial, restrained.
**Negatives:** + leave clear dark space for text, no busy props, no lifestyle context.

## 4 · Botanical still — Le Yuzu (IG / scent story)
**Subject:** Yuzu peel, a slice of lemon, a sandalwood chip and a torn laurel leaf scattered with intent on dark stone, the gold roll-on half in shadow at the edge.
**Composition:** Overhead-ish editorial flat-lay but lit low and directional, not flat; 4:5.
**Light:** One warm low key from the side; citrus catching gold, stone receding to near-black.
**Palette/mood:** Citrus warmth against Onyx Ground; Gilded Gold accents. Sensual, composed, expensive.
**Negatives:** + no scattered confetti of ingredients, no bright food-photography daylight, no marble cliché.

## 5 · Editorial skin / texture — wrist swatch (proof, sensual)
**Subject:** The inside of a wrist, a faint glide of the roll-on just applied, fine skin texture and grain visible.
**Composition:** Macro, wrist diagonal across a 4:5 frame, deep shadow on the lower half.
**Light:** Single warm low key grazing the skin to reveal texture; matte, never glossy.
**Palette/mood:** Bone Ivory skin, Onyx Ground falloff, one gold rim. Evidence shown as seduction, restrained.
**Negatives:** + no glossy oil-sheen retouch, no visible product residue/clumps, no manicure as the subject.

## 6 · Brand still — the wax-seal monogram (social avatar / packaging hero)
**Subject:** The interlocked ES wax-seal monogram pressed into dark surface (wax, leather or stone), gold edge catching one light.
**Composition:** Centered object-as-jewellery, 1:1; tight crop, vast shadow surround.
**Light:** One warm low key catching only the raised gold rule of the seal; rest in deep shadow.
**Palette/mood:** Gilded Gold on Onyx Ground / Wild Forest. Crest-like, opulent, archival.
**Negatives:** + no logo rendered flat/2D, no drop-shadow gimmick, no bright product-shot lighting.
