HENRY ROSE BODY SPRAY
Product Launch

PACKAGING

Staying true to the brand’s commitment to sustainability, the focus was on minimizing plastic use and ensuring all packaging was easy for consumers to recycle.

In collaboration with vendors, we developed aluminum bottles. ​

Preliminary Packaging in the Product Lineup

Primary Packaging
The cap color is matched to the existing Eau de Parfum line, while the light cream bottle introduced a new branded hue that created visual harmony across the product range and defined a new category.

Secondary Packaging
To distinguish the product from both the existing line and competitors, we introduced cylindrical cartons while maintaining the established brand lock-up and speckled paper texture

Following the success of the Body Spray hero products, the lineup was expanded to include Holiday Gift Sets and a Discovery Set.

CAMPAIGN STRATEGY

The goal was to maintain Henry Rose’s established branding with a twist. Since Body Sprays are lighter than the hero Eau de Parfums and aimed at a younger audience, I wanted to introduce elements of humor and surprise to keep the tone fresh and engaging.

BLONDE BARRY

Classification
​
Floral Fruity

​Description
Succulent blackcurrant buds and juicy blackberry, blood orange, and nectarine wrapped with sensual musks and mineral woods, that delights and entices the senses.

Top Notes Italian Blood Orange Extract, Blackcurrant Bud, Nectarine Middle Notes Blackberry, Cosmo fruit Bottom Notes Sensual Musk, Virginia Cedarwood Heart, Patchouli Heart

Perfumer Quote
“I wanted to play with the juicy, succulence of blackberry and elevate its innate sensuality.  I blended blackberry and musk for a blackberry-musk-infused effect, and then used mineral woods, like driftwood and cedar, for contrast and textured sensuality.”

BOYS OF SUMMER

Classification
Fougere Floral

Description
Nostalgia of carefree days awakened by the fresh, clean energy of lavandin, sparkling pink pepper, and crisp florals set against the vibrant warmth of vetiver and orris concrete

Top Notes Petitgrain Citronnier Oil, Pink Pepper Middle Notes Organic Lavandin Abs Enfleurage, Magnolia Flower Oil Bottom Notes Haitian Vetiver, Orris Concrete, Patchouli Heart

​Perfumer Quote
“I wanted to create a genderless fougere. I used lavandin, seen as traditionally a masculine note, for the fougere aspect.  I incorporated magnolia flower as it is a crisp and bright floral note that balances the fresh masculinity of lavandin and complements the fougere signature of Boy of Summer.”

​My Own Private Summer
Boys of Summer is a very small space. It refers to someone wrapped up within their own personal meaning of summer joy. (a defiant personal joy)

MUSTANG SALLY

The blooming orange tree orchards of Valencia, kissed by the Mediterranean breeze, are brought to life by using all elements of the tree- orange flower, neroli, petitgrain – cocooned with airy musks for a clean, captivating finish.

​Perfumer’s Quote
“I was inspired by the scent of the famous orange orchards that sprawl along the Mediterranean coast in Valencia, Spain. To heighten the solar luminosity or the blossoms and the clean freshness of the sea, I used sparkling citruses and clean, airy musks.”

Who is Mustang Sally?
Mustang Sally is all of us. Obscured by societal norms (unwritten rules of behavior) and a need for mystery to create an enigma. A tempted voyeur, a shy exhibitionist?
