TITLE Maison Ombre — Parfums d'Intérieur PROMPT A landing page for an invented Parisian perfume house, "Maison Ombre", presenting a single fragrance, "No. 7 — Bibliothèque Brûlée" (the smell of a library the morning after a small fire: smoked paper, cold tea, iris, wet stone). Concept: luxury through restraint and one exquisite object: a perfume bottle drawn entirely in SVG whose liquid behaves like liquid. Mood: luxurious, literary, slow. Palette: warm ivory #F5EEE4 page, oxblood #5B0F1B for display type and the liquid's shadow tone, antique gold #B8925A for hairlines, numerals and the bottle's collar and cap band, soft black #1E1A17 for text. Light page with enormous margins; a barely visible laid-paper texture (fine horizontal lines) and soft window-light: a slanted pale rectangle of light that drifts very slowly across the page as if from a casement. Typography: high-contrast Didone display (Didot, "Bodoni MT", Georgia fallback) used very large and very small: the name "Bibliothèque Brûlée" in huge oxblood italic that runs partly behind the bottle; everything else in tiny, wide-tracked small caps (10–11px, 0.3em) and a quiet serif text at narrow measure. French–English bilingual touches. Numerals in old style where available. Thin gold rules, a monogram "MO" drawn in SVG. Structure (vertical scroll, sparse; five movements separated by generous white): 1) Opening: the bottle centred low, the name, and one line: "A fragrance for rooms that have read too much." 2) The pyramid: top / heart / base notes as a vertical triptych: Tête: bergamot peel, cold Lapsang, struck match; Cœur: iris root, vellum, ink; Fond: smoked cedar, wet limestone, a trace of beeswax. 3) "The nose": a short portrait of the invented perfumer Séverine Aubrac, who "worked for eleven years as a paper conservator". 4) The object: bottle specifications (hand-blown in Meisenthal-like invented village "Val-d'Orne", 50 ml, cap turned from fire-blackened oak), editions and price in a discreet table (Extrait 50 ml · €240 · edition of 900). 5) A request form reduced to one line ("Request a sample card") with a custom-styled input and a wax-seal confirmation animation (no network). Signature moment: the bottle. A faceted rectangular flask with thick glass walls drawn with layered SVG gradients, inner reflections, a gold collar and a charred-oak cap; the part of the title that passes behind the flask is seen through the glass slightly magnified and displaced, as if refracted; dragging the flask sideways (or the arrow keys) tilts it while the liquid stays level with the world; the amber-oxblood liquid inside has a surface line that tilts and sloshes with pointer movement or device tilt-like drag (spring-damped angle and a travelling wave on the surface path), with tiny bubbles rising after a slosh; caustic light from the liquid falls on the page beneath as a soft coloured shadow that shifts with the window-light. When the notes section scrolls into view, the flask glides aside (shrinks to the top on phones), its cap lifts away, and the notes "evaporate" in olfactory order: top notes rise from the bottle's neck as fine drifting SVG wisps and their words fade first, then heart, then base lingers longest, driven by scroll progress with eased interpolation, with a small clock counting the hours since spraying. Hovering, focusing or tapping a note name breathes it back to full strength, releases a small wisp of its own and shows a one-line sensory description ("iris root: cold, powdery, like the inside of a cello"). Motion: slow and exact: 900–1400ms transitions with cubic-bezier(.16,1,.3,1); the title's letters settle in with a staggered blur-free tracking animation (letterspacing closing from wide to set). The cursor on desktop is a small gold ring that swells over interactive elements. Reduced motion: liquid static with a gentle shimmer disabled, notes simply visible. Voice: elegant, precise, lightly ironic; no superlatives. DESCRIPTION A slow, bilingual landing page for the invented Parisian house Maison Ombre and its single fragrance, No. 7 — Bibliothèque Brûlée. On warm ivory laid paper, crossed by a drifting casement of pale window-light, an enormous oxblood italic title runs behind one exquisitely drawn flask; the word seen through the glass is bent by it, and the amber-oxblood liquid inside tilts, sloshes, ripples and bubbles as the pointer passes or the flask is tipped. Scrolling carries the same flask into the olfactory pyramid, where its oak cap lifts off and the notes rise from the neck as fine wisps and then evaporate in order, top first, heart next, base lingering, before three quieter movements: a portrait of the perfumer beside a scorched, tea-ringed folio, the object's specifications with a dimensioned elevation and a discreet table of editions, and a one-line request for a sample card that is answered by an envelope closed with a wax seal. VISUAL TECHNIQUES - Flask drawn entirely in inline SVG: eight bevel facets, layered linear gradients for thick glass, gilt collar, charred-oak cap with grain and cracks, paper label with old-style numeral - Liquid surface rebuilt every frame from a spring-damped tilt angle plus a one-dimensional wave simulation that reflects off the walls; a second offset line gives the surface depth - Bubbles spawned by slosh energy that rise, wobble and dimple the surface when they break - Refracted title: a live copy of the second title line clipped to the flask cavity, magnified and offset about the cavity centre and re-registered each frame - Blurred SVG cast shadow and wavering caustic streaks under the flask that lean and brighten with the position of the window-light - Window-light as a skewed, blurred grid of six panes drifting on a slow sine; glass reflections shift with it - Laid-paper texture from two repeating CSS gradients (laid lines and chain lines) - Wisps as pooled SVG paths whose points are advected through a slow sinusoidal flow field, coloured gold, oxblood and soft black for top, heart and base - Scroll-driven choreography with smoothed scroll position and smoothstep easing: flask travel and scale, cap lift, note emergence, tracking and evaporation, hour clock - Title entrance by true letter-spacing closing from wide to set, with per-letter staggered opacity - Scorched folio using feTurbulence and feDisplacementMap for torn edges and cockled lines, a radial scorch gradient and a broken tea ring - Dimensioned line elevation that draws itself with stroke-dashoffset; hairline rules that draw in from the left - Wax seal with turbulence-displaced edge, radial gradients and an embossed SVG monogram, dropped and pressed with spring-like keyframes - Custom gold ring cursor that follows on a spring and swells over interactive elements - Reduced-motion version with a level, still liquid, all notes visible, no wisps and a fixed window-light INTERACTION MODEL Moving the pointer across the page nudges the liquid, more strongly near the flask; dragging the flask sideways with mouse or finger (or pressing the left and right arrow keys while it is focused) tips it up to about seventeen degrees while the liquid stays level, then sloshes back with bubbles when released; on devices that report orientation the liquid also follows the tilt of the device. Scrolling moves the flask from the opening into the pinned pyramid, lifts its cap, and plays the evaporation: top notes appear and fade first, then heart, then base, while a clock counts from the first minutes to the next morning. Hovering, focusing or tapping any note restores it to full strength, underlines it in gold, releases a wisp from the word and shows its one-line sensory description beneath the triptych. A slim rail of roman numerals on wide screens, the monogram and the footer links jump between the five movements. Rows of the editions table warm slightly under the pointer. In the last movement the visitor types an address into the single underlined field and sends it; an empty or malformed address is declined with a quiet bilingual line and a small shake, a valid one folds the form away and shows an envelope that draws itself and is closed with a wax seal stamped MO, with a button to offer another address. Nothing is sent anywhere.
