Puig partners with Dufry for Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Latin American launch

Puig Travel Retail Americas has partnered with Dufry for an extensive launch campaign for Carolina Herrera’s new masculine fragrance, Bad Boy, in Latin America.

The most high-profile activations to accompany the launch are taking place at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru and São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport in Brazil. The pop-ups are designed to encourage travellers to immerse themselves in the light and shade of the contemporary man’s personality through digital screens within the space and retailtainment activities.

At the Lima and São Paulo airports, customer interaction is encouraged through a lightning-shaped buzz wire game in honour of the fragrance’s branding and bottle. Customers can also take part in a digital game to find out if they are good or bad.

A touch screen at the pop-up can ignite lightning bolt visuals on both the screen and the activation’s digital flooring, while the advert for the fragrance featuring British actor Ed Skrein plays on digital screens.

Good or bad? The Carolina Herrera activation will tell you.

Puig said the high-profile launch for the aromatic oriental scent underscored its ambition of making Carolina Herrera a leading brand in the region.
