The power of fragrances: Mugler at Westfield Centro

Keyfacts
  • Experiencing a brand through all the senses
  • Multimedia campaign and interactive pop-up store
  • Luxury brand conducts its first-ever promotion at a URW shopping destination

Scarcely anything triggers human emotions like smells do. Fragrances bring back memories and let us discover new facets of ourselves. So too with the new ‘Angel Elixir’ by luxury label Mugler. Visitors to Westfield Centro were delighted by the modern remake of the perfume classic ‘Angel’ when Mugler made a guest appearance in the popular Oberhausen shopping destination with a pop-up store and media campaign in the mall’s central ‘Mitteldom’ area from 11 to 15 April.

Discover, experience, acquire

Mugler’s Angel Elixir is unmistakable in its iconic star-shaped flacon. Like the perfume itself, however, the packaging has also changed: from radiant light blue to a powerful midnight blue. This is the design used by Mugler throughout its campaign, from the commercial clip to the pop-up store, creating instant brand recognition.

For the perfume relaunch, the company produced an elaborate campaign clip in which US actress and model Hunter Schafer, as the face of the brand, literally reaches for the stars and merges with ‘Angel Elixir’ to become the new star in the sky. The clip ran not just on two large LED screens on the pop-up stand itself, but was also played on the UDS 360° screen system in the Mitteldom – a real attention-grabber.

In addition, Mugler invited the audience to an immersive brand experience on the 5 x 4.5-metre promotion area: Using augmented reality technology, visitors transformed themselves into luminescent figures matching the advertising clip, immersing themselves in the world of the campaign. The video could then be downloaded to their own smartphones via a QR code.

The pop-up store had other interactive features as well. At one of the two glass counters, visitors to the stand were able to try the perfume and purchase the extraordinary fragrance experience to take home with them.

Engaging visitors’ senses

With its tangy-floral sandalwood and jasmine extracts, Mugler wants to use ‘Angel Elixir’ to appeal in particular to a younger target group, and this was also true of the promotion at Westfield Centro, where all senses were addressed in an interactive way using multimedia. And so, Mugler’s first campaign in a Westfield shopping destination in Germany/Austria was a complete success.
