Glass to Wax
A cocktail-inspired candle packaging system translating scent, recipe, color, and ritual into a playful collectible brand world.
Cocktail rituals, translated into candle packaging.
Glass to Wax is a candle packaging concept inspired by classic cocktails. Each scent uses drink ingredients as a visual language, combining hand-drawn fruit illustrations, recipe-style labels, bold serif typography, handwritten logo details, and tactile packaging moments.
From glass to wax, every scent becomes a small ritual.
The system turns cocktail recipes into scented candles, using ingredient illustrations, warm color palettes, tactile labels, and collectible inserts to make the packaging feel playful but crafted.
Warm, playful, and crafted.
The identity balances a handwritten logo with bold serif labels, recipe typography, warm cocktail colors, and hand-drawn botanical illustrations.
Three candles, three cocktail moods.
Each scent is built from a cocktail recipe and translated into wax color, packaging color, illustrated ingredients, and label details.
Mint / Lime / Tequila
Fresh, green, and bright, designed around mint leaves and citrus notes.
Agave / Orange / Mezcal
Warm and smoky with a coral-orange identity and recipe-inspired label.
Lavender / Lemon / Honey
Soft yellow and floral, mixing honeyed warmth with bright citrus.
Small objects, clear story.
Box, recipe label, coaster insert, matchbox, stamp, and handwritten logo moments work together as a complete packaging ritual.
Remove, flip, use, collect.
The coaster-inspired insert extends the packaging beyond the candle, turning the product into a small at-home ritual.
The brand in use.
Large editorial mockups make the project feel more complete and easier to scan. Each image is displayed directly instead of being hidden in a small collage.
