The challenge of being a direct-to-consumer fragrance brand is an obvious one – you can't smell the fragrances online. The Exploration Pack helped to bridge this gap by offering a sample-size selection of Commodity's flagship fragrances. #styleyourcommodity #fragrance #perfume

In line with Commodity's elemental identity, the fragrance names are inspired by common nouns, with the fragrance descriptions taking inspiration from dictionary definitions. #styleyourcommodity #fragrance #perfume #brand #strategy #design #rebrand #brandidentity #visualculture

With over 20 years experience in fragrance distribution, Commodity founder Vicken Arslanian came to us looking to refocus the brand. Early in the strategic phase, we found three words that really resonated with how the brand should look and feel: ethical, elemental, and atypical.

When it came to creating Commodity's ecommerce experience, it was a perfect opportunity to showcase the elemental inspiration behind the brand's visual language. Stripping everything back allowed copy and content to communicate the brand’s atypical attitude. #styleyourcommodity

As a way of expressing the potency of a particular fragrance, we worked closely with @Commodity's founder to create the concept of Scent Space. Each fragrance is available in 3 scent space configurations – Personal, Expressive and Bold. #styleyourcommodity #fragrance #perfume

Ethical. Elemental. Atypical. This is how we approached the packaging design for @Commodity. Gone are the smoke and mirrors, lifestyle cliches and industry jargon. Instead enter a radical concept called ‘Scent Space’ – a new way of expressing the strength of a fragrance.

Commodity’s new owner, Vicken Arslanian, saw that the brand needed to be refocused. The result is a fragrance brand that’s bold, fresh and forward thinking. #styleyourcommodity #fragrance #perfume #brand #strategy #design #rebrand #brandidentity #visualculture #icodesign
In English, we don’t really have a word to describe the smell of petrol or freshly cut grass. We say an object smells like a rose, or like chocolate. Following the @CommodityNotes rebrand we explore how fragrance brands put scent into words. Read here: tinyurl.com/23fe4w27

Like business, brands rarely evolve in a straight line. @CommodityNotes is a fragrance brand that has had three very distinctive chapters. We sat down with Re-founder @VA_EuroPerfumes to explore the question"How can a brand express radical ideas?" icodesign.com/work/commodity…
