Enesselle
Heritage and Luxury Branding

Enesselle is a luxury skincare brand rooted in heritage, care and quiet elegance. Inspired by ancestral beauty rituals and shaped by contemporary sensibilities, it offers skincare formulations that carry forward the wisdom of the past with the refinement of today. This project showcases the early visual and verbal identity work that laid the foundation for Enesselle’s brand presence as it prepares for launch. 

The Core of Enesselle

Enesselle began with two sisters. The idea that is deeply rooted into the brand’s identity is one of ancestry and legacy, the act of passing down knowledge to a loved one in the hope that it will continue to be passed down - so far down that the one who’ll carry that knowledge, despite being someone you’ll never meet, will still hold that connection to you - a connection that speaks of compassion, wisdom and family, ultimately birthing the tagline 'Kin of Care'. 

Visual Identity

Logo Development
The brand’s logo underwent a long reiterative process, with each draft tested against the core values of Enesselle. It needed to be minimal and sleek, conveying refinement without excess. At the same time, it had to subtly reflect the founders’ Indian heritage—without leaning too far into traditional motifs—while harmonising with a contemporary Western aesthetic. The final mark achieves this balance with intention: the logomark is a refined abstraction inspired by characters from the Gujarati script, a quiet nod to the sisters’ ancestry. It offers a sense of rootedness without overt symbolism, embodying legacy through form.

Colour Palette
The primary colour palette of Enesselle is anchored in a sophisticated range of four shades of green, each with a cool, blue undertone. Ranging from a very light, near-white shade to a deep, almost black hue, this gradient offers a contemporary and dynamic take on the usual luxury colours. While the client initially considered the classic black and gold pairing to evoke luxury, we chose to deviate from the overused combination, instead opting for a deeper, more thoughtful palette. The result is a set of colours that feel both fresh and elevated—distinctly luxurious without relying on clichés.

The lightest and darkest shades of green serve as the brand’s 'black and white', yet these shades are far from typical. Infused with emerald undertones, they give depth, reflecting the brand’s core values of legacy and richness while avoiding the flatness that often comes with stark contrasts. Gold accents are used sparingly throughout, offering refined touches that complement the green hues and further enhance the brand's luxurious yet understated identity.

This thoughtfully restrained monochromatic palette intentionally leaves space for the introduction of secondary colours in the future. These colours will not only contrast but complement the current greens, allowing the palette to evolve and introduce new dimensions. This approach ensures that the visual identity remains dynamic and full of potential, evolving alongside the brand's growth while maintaining its foundational elegance.

Typography
The typography system blends modern refinement with classical elegance. A sleek, sans-serif primary typeface conveys clarity and sophistication, while the secondary serif typeface introduces a sense of tradition. A tertiary style—italicised serif—adds emphasis with a poetic lilt. This trio ensures visual consistency across brand touch points while offering enough flexibility.
