"With a consumption of about 40% of plastics and 50% of paper in Europe, the packaging sector is a large user of materials. Packaging has a lot of environmental impacts, while it also represents a significant cost in the current supply system. Reusable packaging has been suggested as an option to significantly reduce environmental impacts. "(Coelho, P. M., Corona, B., ten Klooster, R., & Worrell, E. (2020). Sustainability of reusable packaging–Current situation and trends. Resources, Conservation & Recycling: X, 6, 100037.)

9. Packaging Trends in the Perfume Industry

   - Minimalist designs

   - Interactive and smart packaging

   - Customization and limited editions

"Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and describe the role that perfume packaging plays in consumer behavior and how it affects the Lebanese consumer’s choice of perfume. The objective is to detail factors affecting perfume choice and describe the influence of packaging on this process. "(Hayek, T. (2021). Appearance matters: the influence of packaging on consumer behavior: the case of perfume packaging in the Lebanese market (Doctoral dissertation, Notre Dame University-Louaize).)

10. Challenges and Solutions in Perfume Box Production

    - Balancing cost and luxury

    - Meeting tight deadlines

    - Adapting to changing market demands

"The increase of ever more numerous competitions in established markets, the breaking of the traditional cultural sector’s boundaries and the search for a sustainable competitive advantage, have led companies to consider new organizational strategies instead of those usually used, particularly to consider the “Heritage Marketing Strategy” to achieve the much-desired success and face the different challenges that arise in dynamic markets (Keith, 1960; Kotler et all., 1999; Gentile et all., 2007; Kurtz and Boone, 2010)." (LAZZARO, G. Heritage Marketing: a case study in the perfume sector.)

A multisensory approach for perfume packaging design: the correspondence between visual and olfactory stimuli. The International Journal of Designed Objects, 10(4), 7.)

"To examine visual attention and emotional arousal in reaction to packaging design features in an ecommerce environment, we had conducted an eye gaze tracking experiment with 75 female participants. In this research, we analyzed pupil and eye monitoring metrics to identify emotional and cognitive processes, with an emphasis on emotional arousal, visual attention and cognitive effort. Our findings identified prominent packaging designs that sellers can use to display product advertisements according to consumer preferences to further enhance sales and revenue for their business."(Modi, N., & Singh, J. (2024). An analysis of perfume packaging designs on consumer’s cognitive and emotional behavior using eye gaze tracking. Multimedia Tools and Applications, 1-26.)

11. Future of Perfume Box Packaging

    - Technological advancements in materials and production

    - Integration of digital experiences

    - Evolving consumer preferences and industry responses

"Through the research the outcome will take a previous completed design of perfume packaging and project it into the future landscape. The design solution will be 3D renderings accompanied by a drawn scenario based on the scenario research to demonstrate how a consumer might interact with packaging in the middle of the 21st century. "(Anderson, D. (2016). Future Perspective: Design Process of Perfume Packaging.)
