Mix methods: Perfume installation celebrates ritual

The ceramic tools were designed to heighten the ritual of perfume-making, and include a vessel for distilled water, one for alcohol and a pipette to mix the scent. When added to the diffusers, the ceramic material absorbed the liquid to release the perfume’s aromatic notes over a long period. The installation also included a wooden contraption that users could spin to release the fragrance in the diffuser.

‘[We] created a set of objects that resemble alchemy tools and utensils to revisit the process of transformation in alchemy,’ says the studio. ‘[They] invite people to be involved in the process, putting a real emphasis on the ritual and the experience of perfume.’
