The Design

About Scent Envase para aceites esenciales

Scent es un conjunto de envases para aceites esenciales concebido como recuerdo de viaje inspirado en Taiwán. El set contiene un frasco de vidrio para aceite esencial con tapón de plástico y una piedra difusora elaborada con yeso y pigmento. El aceite se vierte en gotas sobre la piedra difusora, donde el líquido se extiende siguiendo el patrón de la piedra mientras se libera la fragancia, uniendo vista y olfato en un mismo recuerdo. La caja está construida con un estuche exterior de plástico mate, un cartón de tapa dura, esponja y papel artístico. La intención es ofrecer una alternativa a los souvenirs comerciales convencionales.
