Dimensions & Packaging

Tags
perfume, package, packaging design, Japan, washi, waxed perfume
Production Technology
A wax is mixed with jojoba oil and essential oil while being hot. When everything is blended together, pour waxed perfume into paper tube made of washi (This is a conceptual work, so it's a hypothetical production method).
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.
Project Duration
2016-2019
Operation Flow
Waxed perfume makes it possible to enjoy wrapped in favorite fragrance even if people who don't prefer strong smell.
