Aura, the AI-powered fragrance advisor

Aura transforms in-store fragrance advice: instead of testing dozens of bottles, the customer talks with a kiosk that learns their taste and composes a suitable fragrance, ready to be made at the shop’s perfume bar.

Context

The need and our answer

Mehdi Perfume offers ready-to-wear fragrances and a perfume bar where customers compose their own blend. The choice is vast and human guidance cannot be permanent: the shop was looking for a playful way to guide every customer towards the creation that suits them.

We developed Aura, a conversational experience on a touch kiosk. The customer says how they would like to be addressed, then answers a few questions — personality, occasion, desired longevity and intensity. The AI analyses the answers, composes an accord of notes and presents a detailed profile of the resulting fragrance, which the customer can validate before preparation.

The interface, in the brand’s colours, is available in several languages and fits into the in-store journey: ready-to-wear fragrances, perfume bar and online shop.

What we delivered

  • Guided conversational journey: first name, personality, occasion, longevity, intensity
  • Recommendation engine: composition of a blend (top, heart and base notes) from the answers
  • Detailed result sheet with olfactory description and blend validation
  • Multilingual touch interface in the brand’s colours
  • Ready-to-wear fragrance, Perfume bar and Shop modules
  • Deployment on an in-store kiosk
