Shape of a scent




The fist studio class of Semester 2, As a group of five we were to snif out the shape of an assinged scent (a perfume). Without any idea which scent it was we came up with a plasticine model of our scent vessel. I found the scent extremely strong, an initial shock and remains within your nose; it was an extremely floral smell, was perpetuously blowing out from its centre. Through mind mapping in considertion to aspects such as texture, line, shape form etc followed by some rough conceptions i came up with if not a very literal depiction; a floral shape. The flower as a vesel, slightly rounded off and shortened to look more like a bottle, with the centre showing holes where this concentrated scent emmits. The bottle was agreable in terms of representing the scent. Through feedback and self realisation I've learn I could have made the design more abstract and unpredictable.
