Production Technology
The primary material of the media entrance is the brand's perfume bottles. This entrance is constructed of around 5,000 recycled perfume bottles. The bottles perform an implicit reflection of the brand's image and a surprise to the customers. Ultimately, the used perfume bottles represent a memory, an emotion, an experience, and a sensual connection between users and the brand.
