About Scent Envàs d'olis essencials

Scent és un conjunt d'envasos d'olis essencials creat com un record de viatge inspirat en Taiwan. El conjunt conté una ampolla de vidre per a olis essencials amb un tap de plàstic i una pedra difusora feta de guix i pigment. L'oli es diposita gota a gota sobre la pedra difusora, on el líquid s'escampa seguint el patró de la pedra mentre s'allibera la fragància, unint la vista i l'olfacte en un únic record. La capsa està construïda a partir d'una funda exterior de plàstic mat, un cartró de tapa dura, esponja i paper artístic. La intenció és oferir una alternativa als records comercials estàndard.
