Mythologies - Narcissus & Echo

Brief Synopsis of Myth Story. 
Zeus grew bored and decided to go down to earth to see the fairies in the mountains. Aphrodite actually kept the secret that the nymph he fell in love with is a reflection of himself. Echo falls in love Echo falls in love with the son of a fairy named Narcissus, but he was already in love with himself. One afternoon, Narcissus found a pool that he wanted to drink from of thirst. He sees his reflection in the water and claims the nymph or fairy his. Echo follows Narcissus where he gets lost. He asks for help so Echo tries to help him, but she ends up repeating his last few words. At the end, she repeats the two words “kill me” so Aphrodite lets her die on a rock. Hera decides to punish Echo for talking so much with a curse. Hera made Echo only speak after another person speaks first. Also, Echo can only repeat what other people are saying. Narcissus died the same way Echo had. After he died, a flower grew on the rock that blossomed. Hera gets jealous so she goes to follow him sometimes. She always sees Echo along the way who always found some-thing to say.

Product/Packaging Concept and Inspiration of the Myth.
The concept of my product packaging is perfume, which inspired by one of the myth characters, “Narcissus.” Narcissus is a vain and handsome young man, with many admirers. At the end of the story, he has fallen in love with someone he can never be with... himself. All-day and all night Narcissus stares at his reflection in the river until he turns into a flower. Perfume somehow are representing scents and beauty as a product. Perfume has a scent, and you can make a deep impression on you through the scents. When you are using the love of your perfume, you'll fall in love with yourself. Just like Narcissus. The logo was inspired by the other one of the myth characters, 
“Echo.” The "S" on the logo cut out the side part because, in the myth story,  Echo falls in love with the handsome, young nymph, Narcissus. Echo has a dilemma; she isn't able to talk to Narcissus because of the awful curse, and she cannot be with Narcissus, and she has hidden behind a tree and look at him from far away.
