The content is from an article called From Industry to Luxury: French Perfume in the 19th century. It narrates a dramatic development of the perfume-manufacturing sector and the emergence of new management strategies, and how these factors shift the emphasis from the fragrance itself to the display of the praise surrounding it. Since it’s about history in the 19th century, I decided to use a fade and mute color palette. The text and images in this book are separated. While the article is objective and neutral, not criticizing the fact that perfume became luxury, but I don’t want the book itself to have the luxurious feeling like a commercial advertise for perfume. So I tried to keep the layout simple and clean.
