Mens After Shave. Yum.

So, from countless accounts from numerous women, I've come to the conclusion that the fastest way to attract a woman's attention is through her nose. If you smell good, you've got your foot in the door.
I'd like to do a scene depicting a woman hanging off a man, his back turned to the camera, taking in his super awesome aftershave. 
Here's some examples floating around right now.





The top image is more of what I'm going for but almost inverted with her towards the camera and his back turned. 
Thinking about the set, I'm going to try draping fairy lights on a black
 background to see if I can get a city light kind of effect. Unknown if I can do it but that's where I'm thinking right now. 

Here are the way in which I'll light the Subjects.
This is how I intend to light the models. I want a soft light on the girl and I want the male to be kind of in shadows. I plan on using negative space to the right side of the image.  

This is how I'd like to light the aftershave. 


Bare with me, I know they're flowers but this was as close as it was going to get. Lighting the glass will take a little bit of hit and miss as the bottle is quite a different shape/
