Packaged for Life: Scent

Packaged for Life: Scent is a celebration of the products with the power to evoke a feeling, transport people in space and time, or create a distinct ambience through smell.

In our haste to consume the things we love, we often disregard or discard packaging without a second thought. While many would argue that they bear no significance or should be done away with in our quest to save the environment, there is a lot more to packaging design than meets the eye.

On top of conveying a brand's personality, purpose, or message meaningfully and embodying its contents in ways that catch the eye, a seemingly ordinary bottle or box can become an artist or designer's canvas for extraordinary creative expression.

Highlighting some of the best packaging design work from around the world for candles, incense, perfumes, and more, it also comes with a booklet of fun facts on fragrance as an additional source of inspiration for the senses.
