Shape of a scent

For our first class in ides 1031 we were given separate scents and told to create a container for them. The container had to reflect every aspect of the scent we were given. The scent my group was given turned out to be a perfume by Cindy Crawford. This is the shape I came up with:

The shape reflects how I interpreted the smell. The smooth fragile petal like base was my representation of the fragile, subtle and smooth smell I experienced when I first smelt the fragrance. After smelling the fragrance for awhile, however, I found it became a lot stronger and had a more raw potent smell. I represented this by the center “bud” of the shape which I made by ripping the plasticine to create a “raw” look about it.
