Glass to Wax is a conceptual packaging and product identity project for a line of soy wax scented candles inspired by classic cocktails. The project reimagines fragrance as a drinkable experience, translating the ingredients, rituals, and visual language of cocktails into candle form.
Each candle scent is treated like a recipe, with illustrated ingredients, playful naming, and subtle instructions that mirror cocktail menus and bar culture. The packaging draws inspiration from traditional liquor bottles and bar ephemera, combining bold serif typography with hand-drawn illustrations and handwritten details.
The result is a packaging system that feels approachable, sensory, and slightly unexpected bridging the worlds of glassware, cocktails, and home fragrance.
Each candle scent is structured like a drink recipe, listing ingredients and proportions to echo cocktail menus and bartending guides. Hand-drawn illustrations of citrus, herbs, and botanicals introduce a tactile, human quality, softening the more structured typography and reinforcing the idea of craft.
