The Design

About The Pompadour Ambalaj pentru Parfum

Pompadour este un design de ambalaj pentru parfum inspirat de frizeria clasică englezească. Cutia exterioară folosește un model în carouri preluat de pe podelele frizeriilor, iar cutia din piele se deschide într-un mod care amintește de așezarea pe un scaun de frizer. Flaconul este un cilindru din sticlă transparentă cu caneluri verticale, iar o spirală în roșu, alb și albastru se rotește pe măsură ce flaconul este deșurubat. O foaie imprimată cu un font serif prezintă informațiile despre produs în stilul unui ziar vechi. Flaconul conține o capsulă reîncărcabilă, iar ambalajul exterior este realizat din materiale reciclabile.

Production Technology: Sustainability is at the core of packaging design the glass cylinder bottle comes with a refillable capsule that can easily be removed and replaced and the outer packaging is made of recyclable materials.
Design Challenge: The brand owner wanted to launch a fragrance brand that will capture a niche market of professional white collars who only want to have the best for themselves.

Hence, we created a luxurious high end product with a discerning product name (Pompadour) that not only befits these connoisseurs but a product packaging (bottle and outerbox) that delivers a unique brand experience to our consumers.
Research: The product is luxurious and sophisticated with a premium pricing. Hence the core target consumers are the sophisticated male white collars aged 35 and above, and currently based in Tier 1 cities in China. They continuously seek experiences that will help project them as being sophisticated and in the know.

From our research on this segment we found that this group of gentlemen like going to the barbershop to have their hair fixed.

Since the launch of The Pompadour into the market. The brand had received high publicity and attention from social KOLs and category product reviewers.

Multiple high end barbershops have also knocked on the brand owners door to seek collaboration with offers to display and feature the product within their retail store.
Inspiration: From the late 18th to mid 19th century the barbershop was not just a place for gentlemen to procure a haircut or a shave. It was a space where fraternities were formed. The Pompadour was envisioned to capture that unique experience of going to a classic English barbershop.

The Pompadour is the gentlemans pocket companion. It is a fragrance that reminds him of a time when men were afforded a luxurious den of sorts.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Shanghai, China and Finished in October 2021.
Operation Flow: Brand Owner: Provided a clear brief to the Agency with specific objectives and target audience that enabled a smooth collaborative process for the team to work efficiently within limited budget. Decision maker and budget controller to ensure that the packaging design met their objectives and aesthetic will appeal to the target audience.

Strategist: Conducted thorough research to understand the market and category to identify key insights that will inspire our designers and copywriter.

Designers and Copywriter: Provided product naming and unique design solutions that fully delivers against brand owner’s brief.

Engineering Team: led decisions on structure and materials. Was able to source for premium quality material that lived up to the product’s high end proposition and our designers vision despite limited budget.

Printer: Achieving these saturated colors and color accuracy on paperboard required extra cooperation between designers and printer.
