The limited-edition collaboration transforms the fictional landscape of Panem into wearable and ambient fragrances, giving fans a sensory connection to the upcoming film beyond traditional merchandise. The collection includes Scentbird's fruity woody Eau de Parfum alongside Drift's Home Scent Diffuser and Car Freshener. Fragrance notes draw inspiration from wild berries, apple trees, golden daisies, and meadow moss. Launched November 5, 2026, prices begin at $17.95 for Scentbird and $14.95 for Drift. An interactive New York Comic Con activation also introduced visitors to the scents through sampling. For both fragrance brands, the partnership creates opportunities to reach entertainment audiences. Lionsgate could also benefit from expanded merchandise offerings and deeper fan engagement.
