CRYSTAL BALL
“The concept was inspired by the idea of creating a flacon without any references to a brand or scent. With this in mind, we focused on the scent as the main concept with its elusive and volatile nature. The flacon designs followed the same idea which is expressed in their attempt to defy gravity in form and shape. Linking this concept to the olfactory experiences of every person, the subtle combination of top, middle and base notes of a future scent will unleash memories that are deeply rooted in the treasury box of our minds.”
