Slow Companion-Four-Hour Fragrance Body Cream

Slow Companion · Four-hour Fragrance Body Cream is not just a fragrance product for portable use.
It is closer to everyday objects-in the repeated opening, rotation and application, let the aroma slowly into the user's rhythm, become a stable and natural company.
We have always believed that good design does not need to emphasize the sense of existence. It should be felt and understood in the process of use. The design of "four-time carrying incense" does not start from the shape, but from a very simple question: when the fragrance really enters the daily life, how should it be carried, used and remembered? Finally, we put the answer back to the hand feeling, the rhythm of use, and the patience brought by time.

Manban · Four Seasons Portable Solid Fragrance Balm
Manban Four Seasons is not designed as a statement fragrance piece
but as an object meant to be used every day. Through repeated opening, twisting, and application, the scent gradually settles into the user's routine, becoming a quiet and reliable presence.
We believe good design does not need to announce itself.
It reveals its value through use. The starting point of Four Seasons was not form alone, but a simple question: when fragrance becomes part of daily life, how should it be carried, used, and lived?
The answer led us back to touch, to rhythm, and to a sense of time that grows more familiar the longer it is used.

The form is inspired by the four-petal flower windows in traditional oriental architecture.
This kind of structure takes nature into a limited boundary in the way of "frame view. We extract the rhythm of the ups and downs of the mountains and the flow of water waves, weaken the rigid geometric edges and corners, and make the whole more suitable for the palm and skin.
The continuous surface concept of Mobius ring is introduced into the structure of the product to express the circular flow of time and emotion. Every opening and use is both the end of one segment and the beginning of the next.

The form is inspired by four-petal lattice windows found in traditional Eastern architecture, which frame nature within a defined boundary. We translated the rhythms of mountains and flowing water into softer contours, reducing sharp geometry so the object feels comfortable in the hand and against the skin.

A continuous, Möbius-like surface structure reflects the idea of time and emotion in constant circulation. Each opening and use marks both an ending and a beginning.

"Four-time carrying incense" uses a replaceable core structure, each set contains two 4g balm cores. Reduce unnecessary consumption while prolonging the use cycle. Sustainability is not an additional concept, but a basic premise that is incorporated from the beginning of the design.
Four Seasons uses a replaceable cartridge system, with each set including two 4g balm refills. This extends the product's lifespan while reducing unnecessary waste. Sustainability was considered a core requirement from the start, not an afterthought.

Color is not a decoration, but an expression of emotion.
Color is not decoration, but a way emotion takes form.
