GUESS has launched the exciting and alluring Amore fragrance collection — a set of four unisex scents named after iconic Italian destinations. For this range, the luxe company drew inspiration from Portofino, Capri, Rome, and Venice. Each perfume is designed to evoke the atmosphere and spirit of its namesake location through notes such as Italian bergamot, pink grapefruit, lemon zest, apple blossom, peach, and jasmine petals.
To raise hype and awareness about the GUESS Amore fragrance collection, the company introduced a campaign filmed in Capri and featuring models Francesca Valenti and Xavier Grey. This video ad is joined by exclusive influencer previews in Ibiza, as well as special pop-up stores in Milan and Ibiza that displayed the Amore fragrance collection alongside the brand’s summer fashion offerings.
