THE SOLUTION:
DESIGN PROCESS:
An innovative niche consists of physical and digital engagement that invite patrons to try smell an unlabeled core scent (Floral, Woody, Oriental and Gourmand), choose a scent they fancy then reveal the scent personality traits along with the range of perfume under the same category. Using RFID tagged tablets, users were able to insert into wall to trigger the 86-inch interactive touchscreen. At the end of the session, the guests are encouraged to enter their email address for a ‘free personalized perfume consultation’, and that how we collect data for future emailers about the new premier store.
We started by creating the initial concept of the activation which is letting the visitors to discover their own scent by sniffing variety of unlabeled perfume base which we divided in to four; Floral, Woody, Oriental and Gourmand. Then, we collected all perfume brands that are needed to be included on the list. Divided and sorted in to eight types of main ingredients which are Rose, Jasmine (Floral), Oud, Sandalwood (Woody), Patchouli, Amber (Oriental) and Honey, Vanilla (Gourmand). Grouped all materials and turned it into CVS data ready for encoding.

Essential part of the design process was creating the storyboard in a wireframe format with detailed instruction on the movements of each objects, naviga-tions, image carousel and transitions to ensure consistency in the develop-ment stage.
We made the whole interface modern yet organic mood by showing it on the transitions between pages mimicking movements from nature as object being blown by the wind and blooms like flowers.

Used Adobe Illustrator to create pixel-perfect reference image with detailed specifications for the front-end development. Then, exported assets like, logo, fonts, icons, design elements and buttons for development.
PHYSICAL PROTOTYPING
TECHNOLOGY
PHYSICAL NICHE RENDERING AND MOCkUPSThe niche was beautifully decorated with white flowers with 84 inch high-definition touchscreen attached on the wall for more impactful visibility for the actual audience and shoppers passing by. We used white and minimal designs for the perfume bottle stands. Considering that the brand doesn’t have current style identity guidelines by that time.
Alternative approach to the physical assets which consist of interactive digital table.
RFID is an acronym for “radio-frequency identification” and refers to a technology whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags are captured by a reader via radio waves. We’ve tagged all base scents to serve as key to the interface.

USER INTERfACE DESIGN:The object of the interface was to keep the visitors interested throughout the process of the campaign. This was accomplished through using vibrant colors, subtle animation, and information about the scent characteristics relating to the personal level.
A high definition touchscreen interface that’s enables the audience to feel part of the process while enjoying the entertaining magical touch moment swiping and discovering their perfumes.
The movements of the flowers and ingredients plays a big part on the interface every time it changes to another scent category.
“Transitions between pages mimicking movements from nature as object being blown by the wind and blooms like flowers.”
Serves as standby screen featuring clients logo and catch phrase “WHAT’S YOUR FRAGRANCE PERSONALITY?“
Perfume selection screen uses a carousel which enables users to swipe left or right to discover variety of brands.

Hard coding was a crucial part of the
design. We have to consider the platform
we are designing for. Our developer used
Java Script, HTML and CSS3 for the front-
end, back to back with PHP for the back-end
development.

INTERACTION DESIGN:To enable visitors to have the full physical-digital luxury experience, a host will guide them through the journey starting from their arrival to the niche.
In partnership with Firmenich, perfumers who works closely with the world’s finest brands to bring innovation and passion to fragrance solutions, they pro-vided eight base scents that are used in perfume worldwide.
1. Visitors are greeted by the host and lead them to try and guess distinctive scent in all four side of the niche which are Rose, Jasmine, Oud, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber, Honey and Vanilla.
2. The host then ask the visitor to guesstimate the scent that they like, pick up the peg of the same scent and attached it to the reader embedded on the wall with the screen.
3. Right upon reading of the RFID tag, the chosen scent will be presented on the screen after the transformation of flowers or ingredients. The charac-teristics of the scent or ingredient is described on the screen in relation to the personality of the guest.
5. The host then suggest to fill a form to get a personalized complementary consultation which main purpose is to collect customer database to follow up on them in the future.
4. Upon clicking the “Find Your Scent” button, a wide range of perfumes under the same category are presented. Within the carousel, images and descriptions of branded perfumes are detailed. To extend the interest of the guest, we added videos about origins of scents. Also displayed were the internationally acclaimed perfumers with their own words describing the scent.
OUTCOmE & VALIDATION:The whole experience was well received by the clients and became an attrac-tion to the newly opened Fashion Avenue mall visitors. The platform receives 500 visitor’s data per day for the entire three-month long campaign. Overall outcome was a massive success for the brand’s activation.
