Describe the challenges and key objectives

We wanted to promote the emotions that are contained in each bottle of perfume. But since emotions are something intangible, we had to find a special way to do it. We printed one of the most beloved romances in history in perfume paper. Romeo and Juliet was printed in the actual strips of paper used to sample perfumes. And each 'book' came with a small Jacomo sample so that the person could spray the scent over each page of the book and read this classic with the most romantic scent.



Describe the brief from the client

To launch a new fragrance called Jacomo.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

The design was something to help us tell this classic romantic story, but also to help us tell the product's romantic story.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Once someone had one of these in hand, the response was much better than it would have been with a regular sampling device. This time, we were able to clearly highlight Jacomo's qualities as a perfume and its personality as it related to the romance people had in hand. It clearly defined Jacomo as not only a perfume but an essence of romance.
