Paco Rabanne Phantom is a connected fragrance for men that uses NFC technology to link to digital content. Thanks to an NFC chip embedded in the bottle cap of the fragrance, consumers can use their smartphones to access more information about the product, plus other experiences.
Phantom is being described as the first connected scent from the brand, since it invites people straight into the "Phantom universe” with games and more. Packaged in a refillable, robot-shaped bottle, Paco Rabanne Phantom is
exclusively available at airport duty-free shops and select travel outlets for a limited time.
The playful connected packaging design adds an interactive and memorable element to the experience of purchasing and using the product.
