Brief Explanation

We were catching consumers by surprise in the most relevant perfect place – the shower. It was the ideal way to experience the product and its fragrance out of store, and the surprising stickers worked as soon as every shower was turned on. The hydrochromic ink was a perfect fit for magic that had to happen in the shower. This allowed us reinforce the magical feeling in a powerful, surprising way in a cubicle they were guaranteed to be spending at least 15 min in.

The Brief

We wanted more people (potentially new users) to sample the product and have an unforgettable, magical experience they would talk about. The product has the fine fragrance of rare orchids that literally blooms in the shower. How could we get people to experience the fragrance and its magical effects in a shower?

How the final design was conceived

Fragrances evoke feelings and a mood that transports you to a different world. But magic is something you feel. We didn’t want to tell consumers about it, we wanted them to feel the sensations of sight, scent, colour through an unforgettable experience. In ladies’ shower rooms across spas, clubs and gyms we sampled bottles of Lux Magic Spell. The walls and floors of all these shower rooms were covered with stickers made using special hydrochromic ink. Upon contact with water, the white ink disappeared to magically reveal beautiful trails of orchids.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

In shower rooms across the country, consumers got to ‘feel the magic’ of showering with Lux Magic Spell firsthand, through a product experience they would never forget. Ordinary white shower rooms surprised consumers as they transformed right before their eyes to a magical world of Lux orchids. When dry, the ink turned white again, leaving the shower rooms ready to surprise the next visitor. Resulting in hundreds of powerful, personal, positive consumer experiences.
