摘要 隨著社會經濟進展,產品也必須能滿足大眾在品味及風格上多元化的需求。在當代消費市場的繁多產品中,香水是極特殊並富含意義的一種。香水瓶被賦予的意義,反而常強過香水本身的內容。對香水而言,香水瓶的用途不只是盛裝香水的容器而已,它還必需能傳達出與香水味相符的概念與意象。 本研究以香水為例,透過香水味與香水瓶造形之適合度調查,探討香水瓶造形與香水味嗅覺意象之關聯性。具體目標為釐清(1)受測者的香水意象結構,及香水味意象與香水瓶造形設計要素間之對應關係;(2)不同性別對香水瓶與香水味之喜好差異;(3)所喜好之香水瓶造形與香水味間之適合程度。研究成果歸納為下列三部份: 第一部份:香水味意象之結構及香水瓶造形與香味意象之對應關係 (1)構成香水味意象之要因為「親近的←→疏離的」、「清新的←→濃郁的」、「柔和的←→陽剛的」等三因子。 (2)香水瓶透明度高,予人較「親近的」香味意象,反之,透明度低則予人「疏離的」香水味意象。香水瓶造形之線條富變化及造形圓潤者偏向「清新的」香水味意象,反之,造形線條方直,造形元素單純者,則較偏向「濃郁的」香水味意象。香水瓶愈具備方形銳角的造形特徵,越具有「陽剛的」香味意象,反之,圓角越大則愈偏向「柔和的」香水味意象。 第二部分:男性、女性對於香水瓶造形與香水味的喜好 (1)男女性均喜好偏向圓瓶的造形。 (2)男性與女性喜好的香水味不同。男性較喜好「強烈的」香水味;女性則喜歡「淡雅的」、「迷人的」香水味。 第三部分:喜好的香水瓶造形與喜好的香水味之間的適合度 男性、女性對於最喜歡的香水味與香水瓶,在香味意象與造形上,也多有較高之適合度,女性受測者之反應尤其明顯。
