50ml Boutique One
A 35 m² perfumery in a former hair salon

SCOPE
Conversion of a former hair salon into a perfume boutique
Originally a hairdressing salon from the 1970s, this 35 m² space was transformed into the first physical store for 50ml boutique perfumery. New shop windows emphasise the high ceilings, street frontage and abundance of natural light from the exterior.
A curated and refined material palette was adopted in response to the small size of the space and the quantity of products on display. Existing marble flooring was retained and complemented by softly hued joinery running the entire length of the store. Above the joinery, a maroon colour envelopes the walls and ceiling, providing depth and mood when paired with the brass lighting below.
The highlight of the space is a large commissioned artwork by Australian botanical artist Nastia Gladuschenko. It showcases the floral and plant-based ingredients found in perfumes, gaining curiosity and interest from passers-by.
