The Challenge

For years, The Perfume Shop had successfully hosted its signature Perfume Awards in a physical setting, creating a unique space for customers to engage directly with the brand and vote for their favorite scents. This in-store experience was not just about voting; it was a sensory journey, a cherished tradition for fragrance enthusiasts. Yet, as the retail landscape evolved with digital innovation, The Perfume Shop recognized the need to adapt and expand its horizons. 


Embracing this digital shift, the company took the Perfume Awards into the online landscape. This move wasn't just about adapting to change; it was about seizing an opportunity to connect with customers in the digital space where interactions were increasingly occurring. By transitioning online, The Perfume Shop aimed to reach a broader audience and utilize diverse communication channels, making the beloved awards more accessible and interactive than ever before. 

The Concept and the Solution

The Perfume Shop, leveraging the capabilities of Dot.vu, has successfully made their Perfume Awards digital. 


Hosted for over 6 years, these awards invite customers to vote for their favorite perfumes, offering them a chance to win exciting prizes. This approach, blending the thrill of winning with the opportunity to express their fragrance preferences, has resonated well with the audience. More than just a voting exercise, it's a dynamic way for customers to engage with their favorite scents and explore new ones. 

The Result

"We are getting more and more participants each year."

says Tom Randall, eCommerce Training Lead


The results of The Perfume Awards have been increasingly impressive each year. The campaigns have seen a growing number of participants, with thousands of customers now taking part annually to vote for their favorite scents.


Before going digital in 2018, the campaign got over 11000 entrants. In 2023, the online Perfume Awards marked a remarkable success of over 60000 participants, a growth of more than 400%. This surge in participation highlights not only the awards' popularity but also the effective engagement strategy behind them.
