M/Mink, design perfume.

Posted October 6th, 2010 in Graphic Design & trends by Zélia


For quite a long time, as a teenager, I was fascinated by perfumes. Maybe because of Patrick Suskïnd’s book or maybe because of the exquisite packagings, I was attracted to the world of scents as a bee is to honey. I then learned to identify vetiver, amber, musc, florals and all the other beautiful words attached to the practice of the nose. And probably, if it wasn’t for the chemical studies, I would have go down the road of being a nose myself. So, when I heard one of my favorite design studio had released there first perfume, my heart beat stopped for an instant.

M/Mink is a perfume about paper and ink. Solid black ink, chinese calligraphy, a hint of clove and salt, or so they say. I want to smell it, touch it and embrace it…  I need to find a bottle of this jus.

Check out the press release, it’s beautiful.

I may be a little late on this one, but just came across this amazing flowchart by student Julian Hansen. Ok, the guy is good. Now, I’ll bury myself under piles of dust in order to disappear. Oh and the original post is here!
