Perfume on a black mirror
The same prompt, sent to every model.
Luxury studio photo of a faceted clear glass perfume bottle with a heavy black cap, standing on a glossy black mirror surface that reflects it. Thin rim light outlines the edges, a soft gradient from charcoal to black in the background, crisp caustic highlights in the glass. The front label reads "NOIR 07" in thin gold capital letters.
What this tests
- Label text reads exactly "NOIR 07"
- Physically plausible reflection of the bottle in the mirror surface
- Faceted glass shows refraction and caustic highlights
- Rim light separates the dark bottle from the dark background

AI judge: Faceted clear bottle with heavy black cap, convincing mirror reflection and good glass refraction on a charcoal-to-black gradient. The label spells NOIR and 07 correctly in thin gold capitals but splits them across two lines inside a black box rather than reading as one "NOIR 07" line. Rim light comes more from a horizontal light strip than edge outlines, and the dip tube bends slightly oddly.

AI judge: NOIR 07 is spelled correctly in thin gold capitals, though on a black plaque, and the bottle shows some faceting, a black cap and a mirror reflection on a dark gradient. The bottle is outlined by a hard, uniform white halo that looks like a cutout sticker edge rather than real rim light, which is a major defect. The glass reads dark and murky, with weak caustics.

AI judge: "NOIR 07" is spelled exactly in gold capitals on a black label, and the mirror reflection is physically consistent, including the correctly mirrored text. Strong rim light separates the bottle and faceted cap from the charcoal-to-black gradient, with crisp highlights and slight caustic dispersion in the glass.

AI judge: Elegant faceted bottle with a heavy black cap, rim light and a charcoal-to-black gradient, and the label reads NOIR 07 in thin gold capitals. The reflection is physically wrong: the reflected text is left-right mirrored but upright instead of flipped vertically. Caustic highlights are modest and the bottle interior looks dark rather than clear glass.
Editor pending · AI 3.3 · $0.060 · 9.8 s
AI judge: A realistic bottle with a black cap and a plausible mirror reflection, but it is a plain rectangular bottle with no real faceting, caustics or noticeable rim light, and the background is mid-grey rather than charcoal to black. The small gold label reads NOIR 07, but the I is faint and nearly merges with the dip tube. The overall result is a flat catalogue shot rather than luxury lighting.

AI judge: Text reads NOIR 07 correctly in gold (split over two lines, medium rather than thin weight) on a black label. Reflection in the black mirror is plausible and edges are chamfered, but rim light and caustic highlights are weak and the render looks flat and CG-like; the dip tube bends oddly near the base.

AI judge: Glass bottle with a heavy black cap, a charcoal gradient, rim highlights and light-streak caustics on the mirror surface, and NOIR 07 spelled correctly in gold. The label is a black plaque set off-center instead of plain thin gold lettering. The reflection is physically wrong because the reflected text is horizontally mirrored and upright, and the inner glass geometry is somewhat muddled.
Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.040 · 130.2 s
AI judge: NOIR 07 is rendered exactly in thin gold capitals on the front label, and the faceted glass shows strong refraction and caustic sparkle. The bottle reflects plausibly in the glossy black surface against a charcoal-to-black gradient, with a subtle rim light. Some internal facet geometry is slightly inconsistent, and the reflection is cropped at the bottom.
Editor pending · AI 3.8 · $0.035 · 10.5 s
AI judge: Label reads exactly "NOIR 07" in thin gold capitals and the dark gradient mood is good. However the bottle is a rounded square rather than faceted, the cap oddly flows into the glass shoulders, and the reflection shows the text unflipped and legible, which is physically implausible. Caustics are weak and rim light is limited mostly to the cap.
Editor pending · AI 4.3 · $0.135 · 58.0 s
AI judge: "NOIR 07" is spelled exactly in thin gold capitals, rim light and charcoal-to-black gradient are well executed, and the mirror reflection is mostly coherent. The bottle is shown at an odd tilted angle that reads as leaning, facets and caustics are modest, and the dip tube curves unnaturally.
