Brown Brothers Limited Edition is packaging designed for a fruity sparkling moscato wine. The range covers three variants that represent morning, twilight and midnight. Scented ink is applied to each variant, so a fragrance matching the chosen moment is released. Bright colors and lively patterns recall a tropical summer party and the idea of reunion. The bottle is a standard 750 ml format made from recyclable glass and printed with durable high-quality graphics. The aim was to make the packaging engaging for both sight and smell.

- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was integrating multisensory elements, while maintaining high production quality and cost efficiency. Another obstacle was ensuring that the design resonated with both the Asian market's cultural concept of "reunion" and the festive tropical theme. Technological limitations in ink production and sustainable material sourcing required innovative solutions, balancing aesthetics with environmental impact.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2023 in Shanghai and finished in May 2024, and was officially launched for sale in July 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The packaging interacts with users in a multisensory way. The scented ink enhances the experience by releasing a unique fragrance, matching the mood of morning, twilight, or midnight. This playful interaction creates a dynamic and engaging experience for users, making every moment feel festive and personal while enhancing the overall enjoyment of the product.
- Research
- The objective was to enhance user interaction through multisensory design. The methodology involved market analysis and consumer behavior studies to understand preferences. Data was collected via focus groups and user testing, using tools like surveys and sensory evaluations. Participants were young adults, aged 25-35, in Asia. Results showed a strong preference for cold-activated and scented ink features. Insights indicated that multisensory packaging increases product engagement and aligns well with festive consumer behavior, positively impacting business and design trends.
- Inspiration
- The design was inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of tropical summer parties and the concept of "reunion" in Asian culture. Our goal was to create an immersive experience, reflecting the energy of different moments throughout the day—morning, twilight, and midnight. Extensive research into scented-ink printing allowed us to blend visual excitement with olfactory elements, enhancing the sensory engagement of each design.
