Scent
Scent is an essential oil packaging set created as a travel souvenir inspired by Taiwan. The set holds a glass essential oil bottle with a plastic cap and a diffuser stone made of gypsum and pigment. The oil is dropped onto the diffuser stone, where the liquid spreads along the pattern of the stone while the fragrance is released, linking sight and smell in a single memory. The box is built from a matte plastic outer case, a hardcover carton, sponge and art paper. The intent is to offer an alternative to standard commercial souvenirs.
Scent Essential Oil Packaging by Jia-Rong Chang and Shu-Shan Tsai has been recognized as a grand representation of communication design by the A' Design Award. Scent Essential Oil Packaging won the Silver A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2022. The A' Packaging Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize which rewards superior design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
