# Imaginative Scent Accessories Aesop's New Oil Diffuser and Wash Bags are Designed by ÉCAL Students By Amy Duong | Published 2018-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cal-students References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/08/19/aesop-ecal-students-oil-diffusers-wash-bags/) & [ecal.ch](http://www.ecal.ch/en/1099/studies/master-of-advanced-studies/design-for-luxury-and-craftsmanship/presentation) Australian skincare label Aesop relied on the skills of 17 ÉCAL students from the school's Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship masters class to create two new accessories. The students worked on designing an electric essential oil burner, as well as a wash bag -- made with instructions by Aesop to be "aesthetically pleasing, inventive, and sustainable." 20 projects were selected and made use of materials including cork, ceramic, hand-blown glass, textile, natural resins and wood. One of the captivating designs is the 'Centyl diffuser' by Oubafah Nouktah, which draws in visual inspiration from utilitarian lab tools. The electric parts are encased in glass pieces that imitate the structure of a traditional Aesop bottle, held together with a magnetic power cable. Another standout design is the oil burner by Clavier Margo that takes on the form of a spinning top. The diffusers are made from cork materials and hang from black threads. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Design:** Collaborating with design students brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to product development. - **Sustainable Materials:** Using eco-friendly materials like cork and natural resins aligns with consumer demand for sustainable products. - **Functional Aesthetics:** Combining functionality and aesthetic appeal creates products that provide both practicality and visual appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Skincare:** The skincare industry can incorporate innovative scent accessories into their product offerings to enhance the user experience. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating imaginative scent accessories can add a sensory element to interior design projects, creating a unique and immersive environment. - **Home Decor:** Innovative scent accessories can be integrated into home decor products to offer consumers a multi-sensory experience in their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Aromatic Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-diffuser.md) - [Sensory Home Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-diffuser-1.md) - [Ultra-Modern Sculptural Scent Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-aromatherapy-diffuser.md) - [Nature-Inspired Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forrest-scent-diffuser.md) - [Illuminating Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-diffusers.md) - [Luxurious Stress-Free Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressfree-diffuser.md) - [Bonfire Wooden Diffuser Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-de-camp.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trataka.md) - [Toy-Like Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diptyque-culbuto.md)
