Heritage perfume house: EUR 3.4M direct revenue from 4 Reels and a seeding drop
Luxury fragranceClient: Parfums Marais
Challenge
A 90-year-old French perfume house was launching its first new pillar fragrance in 12 years. Internal team wanted a global ad blitz; founder wanted cultural relevance, not banner ads.
Approach
Pulse directed a 4-Reel editorial campaign shot on 16mm with an in-house composer scoring an original 40-second piece. Seeded the bottle to 84 hand-picked European tastemakers (perfumers, editors, set designers) with a personal handwritten note. Zero paid amplification for the first 21 days.
Result
EUR 3.4M in direct e-commerce revenue in the launch quarter. Earned coverage in Vogue Paris, AnOther Magazine, and Le Figaro. Reached EUR 14 cost-per-Reel-view organically thanks to tastemaker reshares.
