IRIS PADILLA SCENT BOTTLES 

Iris Padilla scent bottles are inspired by the use of Orris root, the root of the Iris Padilla plant. In which it is used as a natural scent in perfumes. The Orris root essential oil is one of the most expensive natural ingredients used in the creation of a scent.

I found it fascinating how it is the root of the Iris that is used to extract the scent, as opposed to other plants where the flower is used. Naturally it is the flower of a plant that is considered the most beautiful, but in this instance the flower is insignificant. The main imagery on the scent bottle is the flower and showcases its observed beauty. 24ct gold leaf is used to symbolize the root, illuminating that is it the most prized part of the Iris within the scent industry.

The scent bottles are designed as high-end luxury scent bottles that would ideally be used functionally. Allowing the user to evoke an emotional interaction with the art, scent and process of applying scent. Alternately, simply as decoration to admire.
