The Challenge

THE CHALLENGE

L’OCCITANE was introducing Amande Crème Brûlée and Amande Pistache, two new Almond Mist fragrances that needed to stand out beyond a traditional product launch. The opportunity was to translate scent into something consumers could experience more intuitively, while creating a destination that could simultaneously build awareness, attract foot traffic, encourage product discovery, and convert that interest into on-site sales.
