Sol de Janeiro

Soft light and scent-driven composition

Beautiful scent storytelling of Sol de Janeiro (@soldejaneiro) through balanced composition. The photos look cohesive. I like the soft light that keeps everything illuminated from within and how they kept retouching very realistic on the product. However, the flowers look fake. Not sure if it's AI or if they overretouched them a tiny bit. Also, the pistachios look clearly composited with no reflection or shadow on the cap.
