About Mau Ambalaža za parfem

Mau je dizajn ambalaže za voštani parfem inspiriran japanskom tradicijom. Ime Mau znači plesati dok se lebdi, a tema je mekoća i lakoća. Parfem se nalazi u papirnatoj tubi izrađenoj od washija, tradicionalnog japanskog papira. Dodir akvarela na washiju izražava nježan karakter mirisa. Voštani parfem ima nizak udio vode, pa se ambalaža može izraditi isključivo od papira, bez plastike. Blagi miris namijenjen je onima kojima su parfemi na bazi alkohola prejaki.

Design Challenge: It can use only paper without plastics for package as wax perfume's water content is less than alcohol one.
Research: Some people don’t prefer alcohol perfume as most of them smell too strong. However, waxed perfume has a soft smell that spreads calmness, which seems more suitable for consumer who have an aversion to strong smells.
Inspiration: The theme is softness and Lightness like floating in the air.
Mau means dancing like floating in Japanese.
Some people don’t prefer alcohol perfume as most of them smell too strong in their standard. However, waxed perfume’s soft smell seems more suitable for them.
