The Shape of Scent

(Interpretation of Scent)

The main concept behind my interpretation of this particular scent was femininity. However it also exhibited different forms of feminism such as mystery and strength. At first I believed it smelt of a clean, pristine environment, perhaps even dreamy, yet it also had a strong vigorus scent. This gave me the impression that whoever would wear this scent would want to imply their growing inner strength as well as their fragility. This contradictory idea led me onto developing the final shape of this scent. As seen above there is a ball shaped core which is engulfed by swirls which appear to rising upwards. This object is to represent a blooming flower as well as a woman protecting herself from the outside world thus provoking the contradiction between the inner strength and the fragility. Whilst the core maintains the mystery which I initially felt, the swirls which can also be portrayed as the arms of a woman or the blooming petals of a flower, is seen as a way of engaging with the world as well as protecting her heart or her core.
