For the most part, consumers know what to expect from a fragrance ad printed in a magazine, but the newest Old Spice advertisement sets itself apart with an unusual addition—a full-size, wearable paper garment.

Rather than just pairing its print ad with a small [scratch-and-sniff scent strip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scentseal), Old Spice opted to create a wearable, disposable and scented red paper blazer that helps to mark the introduction of the new Red Collection.

As the Old Spice Red Collection is launching as a [line of premium scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notewrks) from the brand, the red blazer is set to be sported on influencers and style icons alike. As the promotional blazer is genuinely made from paper, Wieden + Kennedy, the agency that worked on the campaign, notes: "don’t go out in the rain because you will likely get paper machéd."
