Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document key tonal attributes (e.g., elegant, evocative, sophisticated, warm), approved vocabulary (e.g., sensory journey, olfactory, heritage, note-worthy), and phrases to avoid (e.g., overly casual slang, generic descriptions). This ensures anyone writing copy understands the desired voice.
• •Emphasize Storytelling: Consistently weave in the brand's heritage, the founder's inspiration, or the unique story behind each fragrance. This adds depth and distinguishes the brand beyond just the product features.
• •Use Rich, Descriptive Language: Employ sensory adjectives and evocative verbs to paint a picture and appeal to the emotions. Focus on how the fragrances make one *feel* or what memories they *evoke*, rather than just listing scent notes.
• •Maintain Visual & Textual Cohesion: Ensure the copy's tone aligns with the visual aesthetics (elegant packaging, sophisticated imagery). A luxurious photo paired with overly casual text would create a disconnect. The pewter-gray, linen-embossed boxes and satin ribbons set a high standard.
• •Audience-Specific Nuance (but Consistent Core): While the core tone remains consistent, slightly adapt the expression for different platforms. For instance, TikTok might use more direct calls to engagement (what memories does it spark?) while maintaining the overall elegance, whereas an email or website copy might be more narrative. Always circle back to the core values of luxury, heritage, and sensory experience.
