From idea to final experience

With this non-traditional gift, we’re demonstrating what a perfectly functioning end-to-end process looks like – with most steps and production handled in-house, from concept to completion.

Bottle

We carefully selected the ideal shape and volume for the glass container, testing multiple variants until we found one that aligned with our vision and best presented the decorative techniques. The final shape feels both elegant and sophisticated.

Fragrance

We were looking for something subtle, memorable, and universally pleasant – for both men and women. Finding the perfect concentration and selecting the right type of reeds was a true alchemy to ensure long-lasting scent.

The final fragrance is a fresh blend of citrus and pear, with a floral heart of iris, jasmine, orange blossom and violet that fills the room with richness and delicacy. Its base of sensual vanilla, musk, amber, patchouli and vetiver creates a feeling of warmth and calm.

Bottle design

Our aim was to strike the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. The design symbolises the connection between earth and sky – a solid, textured bottom contrasts with the light and elegant top, echoing the rising scent. This minimalist style highlights the craftsmanship and allows the fragrance and technologies to shine.

Packaging

The clean bottle design is complemented by minimalist packaging – a sleeve and insert that introduces the fragrance and its story. We chose a matte black box with a copper foil-stamped sleeve as the unifying element between the diffuser and its packaging. The structural design of the box, insert, sleeve and transport packaging was fully developed at Authentica – all with a focus on easy assembly, safety and visual appeal.

Filling and completion

The final step in the process. We blended the fragrance at the selected concentration, hand-filled the glass bottles, sealed them with caps, shrink-wrapped them, and put everything into gift packaging.
The finished product was carefully wrapped in tissue paper – to elevate the wow effect during unboxing.

Technologies that speak for us

We used all the key Authentica GlassDecor technologies on the diffuser bottle:

• coating – a blend of dark colour and light gradient symbolising earth and sky,
• direct screen printing – subtle lines printed with varnish for a clean, unobtrusive effect,
• hot stamping – a bold copper element from our logo symbol,
• engraving – a refined version of our logo also featured on the cap.

A testament to our passion for craftsmanship and innovation

This diffuser is more than a gift – it’s an authentic outcome of our work, creativity and technological precision. It shows what we’re capable of at Authentica and evokes exactly the emotion we aimed to create:
“Wow.”

A gift designed down to the last detail

Every detail of this gift was custom-made – from bottle selection to the final printed line.

Bottle

We selected the perfect shape and printed it using Authentica GlassDecor’s screen printing technology. The design wraps around the bottle, combining a golden seal with the Authentica name and a surprising visual effect – when the bottle is turned, a citrus motif appears, referencing the gin’s flavour profile.

Gin

The flavour itself was created by renowned Czech distiller Martin Žufánek, who crafted a bespoke recipe based on our ideas and taste preferences – highlighting fresh citrus notes.

Drink

The box also includes an original cocktail recipe by internationally acclaimed bartender Alex Kratěna. The drink features unique ingredients – including his custom-made liqueur Vetiver, which is produced especially for him in the Netherlands.

Packaging

The gift box was entirely produced in-house at Authentica. To ensure a fully sustainable solution, we used brown corrugated board, printed with 100% eco-friendly inks on our digital printer. All components were cut on our plotter and manually put together with care.

When top experts come together

This unique gift set – combining high-end design, premium craftsmanship and a compelling story – was created from start to finish under one roof. It brought together experts from the worlds of distilling, mixology, printing, packaging and completion.
