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.

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. 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.
