The installation invites visitors to look through the tangible surfaces to recognize the traces of the creators, visions, and identities that brought them to life.
Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial, originally created by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier in 2017, is a blend of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot combined with tea extract.

It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.
