Inspired by the 90s, where videotape cassettes were all the rage, this line of men's perfume should be on everybody's Christmas list. Designed by Lavernia & Cienfuegos, the new design is minimal and versatile to accommodate not only existing fragrances but new editions of the line as well. 

"Regarding the box model, we chose a videotape case model adapted to the bottle size. This kind of packaging allowed us to play with an external cover and an inner box. Regarding graphic design, we decided to use a classic typo outside, Helvetica, simple composition and sophisticated finishings: blind emboss, bas-relief, and gloss varnish on the lettering in contrast with the matte cardboard."

The first fragrances with the new design were the classical ones: Silver, Uomo and Blue Spirit. Warm grey on the outside, and the matching colour of each fragrance in the inner box. This colour is visible on the opening side, same as videotape cases, and on the thumb notch. We applied then the new pattern to the Cities line (Cities where ZARA is present), as this pack solution is very suitable for it. The outer box is white and the city image fills all the inner box, and it is seen progressively as the inner box is removed from the case, in the same way as visitors discover little by little the city they travel to.
