Change the wardrobe to a charcoal blazer, use a warm gray studio background and soft window light, and create a chest-up professional profile picture. Do not add text, logos, or accessories.

Read the complete reference-image workflowUse the uploaded product photo as the source of truth for bottle shape, cap, material, color, and label placement. Replace only the environment with a pale stone studio set, add a natural contact shadow and soft side light, and compose a wide ecommerce hero with copy space on the left. Do not invent label text.
Use the uploaded room image as a composition reference. Preserve the camera position, window placement, and furniture layout. Change the palette to light oak, warm white, sage green, and black accents, add soft overcast daylight, and keep the result realistic and uncluttered.
