Shimadzu Fragrance Oil & Diffuser Set

This fragrance oil and diffuser set is a gift for Shimadzu’s VIP customers to convey the company culture. The promotional set consists of a bottle of fragrance oil, a lacquered Kyoto-style diffuser, a handmade paper box and a tri-fold sheet of instructions. The handmade fragrance diffuser with gold leaf pattern on a lacquered surface is inspired by the first generation of physical and chemical instruments developed by Shimadzu’s founder. In accordance with the meaning of “protection” in Zen Buddhist teachings, the elegant paper box with its letterpress logo in the top left corner keeps the gifts safe from damage.
