Penhaligon's Christmas boxes 2010

Penhaligon's is an English boutique fragrance house with a long heritage. For Christmas 2010, the company wanted to redesign its gift range of eight SKUs, as the holiday period equates to 50% of annual sales and it was felt that previous gift boxes struggled to reflect the brand's personality and premium nature.

Executive summary

Despite Penhaligon's rich heritage, their previous Christmas boxes lacked personality. They needed a gift set which would set them apart from the competition, sell more product and build brand equity at the same time.
