The shape of a scent task involved translating the essence of an unknown scent into a plasticine shape in small groups. Our assigned scent was ‘F’. Upon the initial smell it was overwhelmingly pungent, robust, and earthy. However, as these quite harsh top notes dissipated the base notes of a sweet and fruity, quite feminine scent remained.
The challenge was to create a shape which showed both the initial harshness and later the softness of the scent which are quite conflicting. I decided after some experimentation to create a base heavy form to represent the robustness of the initial smell as it was dominating and use small balls to show how when air moves through the molecules of the scent it creates the more appealing and natural top notes.
