Shape of Scent

We were given a perfume and had to create a shape that represented that scent..from the initial hit of the smell through to the more subtle hints of scents discovered after a closer smell of the perfume.

The perfume our group was given was very much a floral scent. There was quite a sharp initial hit of fragrance which in some ways was very overpowering. After more observing of the scent it was clear that there were many different floral scents such as jasmine and rose. At the end there was also a sweetness from a subtle scent of vanilla.

The shape I ended up making was pointed at the top to represent the hit of fragrence which is quite sharp and over owering at first. This then becomes more complex as the experience of the scent progresses, with the three parts of the shape representing the different floral scents working in harmony. This ends in a bulbuss shape at the bottom, representing the sweetness of the vanilla.
I was not completly happy with how the actual making of the plasticine shape turned out, I struggled
in its construction as the plasticine kept falling apart.
