The brand

The problemThree things stood in the way.

  1. You cannot smell a screen

    A fragrance has to be felt through visuals.

  2. Launch moments are brief

    The films had to make an impression fast.

  3. Luxury cues

    The look had to match the price.

ExecutionHow the Ard Al Zaafaran campaign was planned, phase by phase.

  1. Phase 01

    Show the notes

    Fruit, flowers and textures stand in for the scent.

  2. Phase 02

    Reveal the bottle

    The bottle arrives as the answer, lit like jewellery.

    Ard Al Zaafaran: Reveal the bottle

The solutionOne system, every format.

Gold, water and slow motion, letting the scent's notes tell the story.
