Five perfumes corresponding with five elements. Four excellent noses. A beautifully conceived design requiring the completely sealed grey block to be broken in two for access to the bottle.

"Your action of pressing a button produces an effect that aligns perfectly with your will, because your will has been channelled into the spare, binary affordances provided by the buttons: press or don't press. You give yourself over to the logic of the machine and are rewarded by a feeling of efficacy. That is, you loose yourself and thereby gain control."
- Matthew Crawford, 2015, The World Beyond Your Head
