Artist of Note: Ancuta Sarca

A Molton Brown fragrance launch that reimagined spring through a cultural collaboration with designer Ancuta Sarca.

Launch Bluebell & Wild Strawberry as part of Molton Brown’s Artists of Note series. The aim was to create a spring campaign that captured optimism and renewal, while reimagining perfumer Véronique Nyberg’s inspiration — walks in nature — through the creative lens of designer Ancuta Sarca.
