Dandelion Memory A Fragrance That Remembers

Dandelion Memory: A Fragrance That Remembers

This project began with a central question:
Can packaging carry emotional memory?

Scent is one of the strongest triggers of recollection. A single fragrance can instantly return us to a specific place, person, or moment. I was interested in translating that invisible experience into a tangible form.

Developed in the Cross-Disciplinary Studio (DES-741-03) at Pratt Institute, this project challenged me to move beyond visual aesthetics and consider packaging as a multi-sensory and human-centered system. The course framework encouraged research across disciplines and pushed each project to address emotional and social dimensions of design.

Dandelion Memory is a fragrance packaging concept built on the belief that scent and memory are inseparable. Rather than functioning solely as a container, the packaging is designed as a vessel of preservation — holding not only fragrance, but the emotional associations it carries.

The project explores how material, structure, and interaction can be used to translate intangible memory into physical form.
