Nature’s hidden treasures: The Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense animation at Sydney Airport captures new opportunities in terms of cross-category partnerships

AUSTRALIA. Coty Travel Retail and Heinemann Oceania have partnered to deliver a vibrant Marc Jacobs activation at Sydney Airport, marking the brand’s first cross-category pop-up in travel retail.

The immersive installation, developed in collaboration with the Marc Jacobs fashion house, supported the pre-launch of Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense. The exclusive pop-up showcased the new fragrance alongside a curated selection of Marc Jacobs fashion pieces, reinforcing the synergy between the brand’s fragrance and fashion portfolios.

The animation offered travellers an interactive experience inspired by ‘nature’s hidden treasures’. It took them on a multi-sensory journey that included a spinning daisy wheel-of-fortune, a digital memory game and a bespoke photobooth alongside personalisation services.

Daisy Wild Eau So Intense debuted exclusively in travel retail on 1 March, ahead of its global domestic roll-out in early April. The Sydney activation formed part of a broader campaign that brought fragrance-themed animations to key international airports across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense is a more intense version of the original Daisy Wild scent and features a deeper olfactive profile. Created by Givaudan Perfumers Sonia Constant and Adriana Medina, the fragrance blends radiant banana blossom notes, jasmine and a warm amber base.

The bottle incorporates Marc Jacobs Daisy’s signature wildflower bouquet with orange, pink, blue, green and purple hues, complemented by playful bright-green flower stems.

Coty Chief Commercial Officer Prestige Caroline Andreotti commented: “We are thrilled to celebrate the launch of Daisy Wild Eau So Intense Marc Jacobs with an incredibly exciting cross-category collaboration at Sydney Airport, fusing fragrance and fashion to provide visitors with an immersive experience.

“This activation is further testament to our focus on creating captivating ‘retailtainment’ concepts that enable travellers to interact with beloved brands and products in innovative ways.” ✈
