Polish design team Ah&Oh Studio has created a super neat men's cologne and is packaging it in a unique way as well. The design studio uses characters and themes found in some of the world's most well-known books as the basis for its scents.
Once the cologne is complete, Ah&Oh Studio focuses on the task of packaging. With a utilitarian white cube base, and the bottle cap representing some aspect of the book, these fragrance bottles are so far, unfortunately, only in the concept stage.
