Everyone has probably received a flower gift at least once. But it doesn't last long and quickly withers and dies. We designed a product that makes essential oils to keep the feeling of gratitude when receiving a flower gift for a long time. Essential oils are currently attracting attention in the Chinese market as their sales are increasing every year. Due to the corona pandemic, more and more people are consuming for health and healing purposes. There are various essential oil extraction methods, and this product uses the steam distillation method, which is the existing essential oil extraction method. Steam distillation is a method of extracting essential oils commonly used in flowers. Steam distillation is a process in which the essential oil component from the petals and water are combined with water vapor when heated, and the mixture is liquefied by a cooler and extracted. The exterior design of the product was inspired by the shape of a flower, and the interior of the product was inspired by the natural collection of water droplets in a cave.
