mmpl - five extends the sensory world of UNSCENTED into a collection of fragrance objects, asking what happens when an inner state is given a body.
Five fragrances inhabit the same bottle anatomy. A bone-like metal structure wraps around a coloured glass core, holding each expression within a shared physical language while allowing its colour, scent and atmosphere to remain distinct.

Development
BETWEEN BONES AND CORSET
The bottle began with the relationship between bone and corsetry, two structures that shape the body in fundamentally different ways.
Bone gives the body its internal architecture. It supports movement, carries weight and creates form through something already embedded within us. A corset acts upon that body externally, guiding its silhouette through pressure and restraint.
Their combination creates a hybrid anatomy. The metal frame feels at once skeletal and constructed, occupying the space between the structures we inherit and the structures that continue to shape us. Within it sits a coloured glass core. Its rounded volume presses through the openings of the frame, turning the rigid structure around it into something that feels active and under tension.
The bottle becomes an encounter between structure and expression: a body defined by what holds it together and what continues to emerge through it.
