Abstract

Integrating Lichun imagery into incense design gives seasonal creativity a cultural basis. Translating symbolic elements into incense scent, form, and packaging evokes rebirth-and-vitality-related sensory experiences. Spring-themed scents meet psychological needs, and materials are sustainable. Market-focused prototypes boost ritual and cultural resonance, while practical guidelines ensure product authenticity and feasibility. This design blends tradition and innovation, creating appealing, eco-friendly, market-adaptable incense.
