- Unique Properties
- Whispers of Ink fragrance series includes scented candles, travel incense sticks and plaster diffuser stones, all of which are carefully crafted with traditional Chinese intangible cultural heritage techniques. The packaging design incorporates the "magnolia book" element, with branches and leaves taken from the magnolia in Jiangnan gardens, and the flower shape is transformed into an open book page, creating a "book with fragrance" environment.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Scented Candles length 95mm x width 95mm x Height 113mm, Travel Incense Sticks length 102mm x width 131mm x Height 28mm, Plaster Diffuser Stones length 117mm x width 95mm x Height 25mm.

- Branding, Packaging, Aromatherapy
- Production Technology
- The Printing Technology we use the Spot Color Printing and Letterpress Embossing
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of this project is the production of the aromatherapy candle container. Because it needs to be combined with China's intangible cultural heritage skills, we need to adjust the drawing of the manual part many times. The thickness of the lines has gone through several rounds of debugging before we finally achieved a complete presentation effect.
- Research
- VITARTISSIMI has teamed up with the time-honored Chinese brand "Qiaojiayao" and Shanxi Province's intangible cultural heritage "Fahua" ceramic craftsmanship to launch the "Moxiweifu" fragrance series, using the power of design to solve the problem of revitalizing intangible cultural heritage while taking into account both market aesthetics and cultural heritage.
- Inspiration
- The scented candle container uses vertical line technology to hand-draw the delicate flower scenes of Jiangnan, and every stroke is ingenious. It is covered with grass green "enamel glaze", which is as luster and warm as jade and transparent as glass. It not only reflects the beauty of spring in Jiangnan, but also adds a touch of classical charm and harmonious resonance of modern aesthetics.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2024 in Suzhou, China and finished in May 2024 in Suzhou, China.
- Operation Flow
- The simple graphic design and elegant green tones allow customers to deeply feel the aromatic scent of the Whispers of Ink fragrance series.
