as part of the rebranding effort for revlon’s iconic fragrance charlie, ceft and company assisted in the naming of the new products, as well as the design of the new packaging range.
charlie “electric blue” – naming by ceft and company
for phase II of packaging work for revlon we created a range of 12 body sprays and 4 eaux de toilette (see EDT work here) in various colors and scents….
the existing charlie black scent redesign by ceft and company

layering strategy to drive engagement and repeat purchases
research had revealed that charlie’s younger audience was increasingly experimenting with fragrance layering — combining multiple scents to create personalized blends. recognizing this trend, our agency developed and executed the “charlie layering” concept to tap into this behavior and encourage secondary purchases.
we collaborated with expert perfumers to identify the most complementary pairings within the charlie fragrance range. these curated combinations were then integrated into the pack design, with the back-of-pack featuring the recommended partner/pairing scent to guide consumers toward discovering new scent pairings—boosting engagement, brand loyalty, and multi-product sales.
based on the agency recommendation, revlon incorporated short quotes, written by the agency, on the back of each pack. each quote, crafted separately for each scent, played into the charlie’s heritage of a confident and witty woman…
