TASK1: Shape of a Scent


Capturing the shape of a scent had more depth than I assumed. Through a personal and collective analysis of the scent a number of shared thoughts surfaced.
Femininity; Elegance; Natural, Comfort.

Challenging, but quite fun, I created a final shape of this scent through a study of 3 smaller attempts.


On first waft of the scent, my initial thought was that this is a very feminine perfume, with a more mature rather than young electric sense to it. From this we derived a sense of comfort, similar to the love one feels at their grandmothers house.
My design portrays this feeling with a very smooth and elegant natural form with a small contoured column wrapping around a larger one, creating the sense of a maternity theme, with a whole in the middle, sort of like a home.
The round bottom represents the heavy scent we all expererienced, feeling very tired and dazed after smelling the scent. The ascending peak ending in a sloth-like manner further represents this response of curiosity ending in dazed and heavy feeling.
