How long should a perfume seasonal be?

Five to eight seconds. Shorter clips compress the motion; longer ones slow it down rather than adding more. Render two lengths and keep the one that reads best on a phone.

Does the Seasonal type work for glossy or dark fragrance bottles and gift sets?

Yes. The opening frame lights the perfume bottle for its material, and the seasonal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective fragrance bottles and gift sets, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Q: Will my perfume bottle stay identical through the seasonal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the bottle shape, cap, juice color and label typography as uploaded, and the Seasonal motion — snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the perfume bottle before you publish.

For perfume, Seasonal means a holiday or seasonal scene with matching motion: snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product. One photo of a perfume bottle in, a seasonal clip out, bottle and label identical to the source.

Photograph the perfume bottle with the label facing the camera before opening the Seasonal type. Set the shape to 9:16 or 16:9 for Shopify, keep the length at five to eight seconds, and render; the opening frame appears first and the seasonal clip follows.
