About Scent Essential Oil Packaging
Scent is an essential oil packaging set created as a travel souvenir inspired by Taiwan. The set holds a glass essential oil bottle with a plastic cap and a diffuser stone made of gypsum and pigment. The oil is dropped onto the diffuser stone, where the liquid spreads along the pattern of the stone while the fragrance is released, linking sight and smell in a single memory. The box is built from a matte plastic outer case, a hardcover carton, sponge and art paper. The intent is to offer an alternative to standard commercial souvenirs.
