    Based on the book Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind, this project imagines the impossible perfume of a killer. In the novel, the protagonist murders young virgin women to extract their scent. I translated this narrative into a conceptual perfume kit, designing a bottle and pairing it with two selected excerpts: one depicting the murder, the other the distillation. Together, the bottle and book sit within a custom-designed box.






    THE SYSTEMThe system relies on a deliberate pairing of cursive and serif typefaces, a combination that reinforces the project’s dark, elegant character. With the book set in 18th-century France, I wanted to pay homage to the time period while maintaining a contemporary feel.

    A selection of the original product sketches I created on Figma before working three-dimensionally. I was captivated by the bottles’ spherical heads, which evoked the silhouette of a woman, while the black rope around the neck felt distinctly like a necklace.
