02 Mandate

Our role for Profumum Roma

Profumum Roma is an artistic perfumery maison whose catalogue includes Acqua di Sale, Thundra, Orangea, Gioiosa and Auriga. In a heritage brand every piece of content affects perceived value: that is why we work on an ongoing basis, with constant oversight of identity, language and channels.

We work directly with the owning family. In Advisory we define direction and priorities; in Operations we deliver content, campaigns and measurement.

Starting point

  • Digital acquisition without a systematic structure
  • Brand keywords on Google left unprotected, exposed to competitors
  • Incomplete e-commerce conversion tracking
  • Meta Ads geared towards awareness, with no purchase journeys

Advisory

  • Positioning the maison across the entire catalogue
  • Telling the story of the generational transition
  • Investment priorities across channels
  • Governance of visual and verbal identity

Operations

  • Corporate identity with 3D modelling
  • Launch videos and TikTok debut
  • Google Ads: brand protection, search, products
  • Meta Ads: sales, retargeting, catalogue
  • SEO and GA4 conversion tracking

03 Website

profumum.com website

Website rebuilt from scratch: still life, content, copy, backend and frontend.

We completely rebuilt profumum.com: still life of every product, content and copy, frontend and e-commerce. The catalogue is organised by collection (Collezione Profvmvm, Collezione Privata, Corpo, Ambiente) and by olfactory family, from citrus to vanilla.

07 Launch

Launch of Roma Kyoto

For the launch of Roma Kyoto we produced the video and graphics, from the profumum.com website to the social channels.

Roma Kyoto · launch video
08 Advisory

Strategy and positioning

In 2025 the narrative centred on the generational handover: the voice of the maison's senior generation leads the videos, recounting the inspirations, emotions and sensations behind the creation of the perfumes. The meeting of two generations gives the digital content a historic, identity-defining character.

Seascape in 3D render for Profumum Roma's Acqua di Sale

Profumum Roma as an experiential maison, with the entire catalogue at the centre alongside the iconic Acqua di Sale.

Positioning

We are consolidating Profumum Roma as an experiential maison and drawing attention to the entire collection, alongside Acqua di Sale.

Visual identity

We renewed the visual identity with editorial communication that combines memory, emotion and aesthetic research, consistent across website, social and retail.

Digital ecosystem

For each new fragrance we build dedicated storytelling and creative production, so that every launch broadens perception of the collection.

09 Operations

Coordinated 3D visual identity

We model the bottles and settings of each fragrance in 3D. The process allows us to create evocative images, consistent with the maison's universe and recognisable on every channel, from the Instagram feed to e-commerce.

Social and TikTok

5.7 million post views between 30 December 2024 and 29 December 2025.

Instagram

The feed has moved from heterogeneous to editorial: 3D creative, photography and video storytelling aligned with the codes of luxury.

Organic content

Creators and customers began publishing videos about the maison. The comments speak of memories, nostalgia and a sense of shared identity.

Channel roles

Among social platforms, TikTok accelerates awareness and positioning, while Meta drives conversion to purchase.

Launch of the TikTok channel, 2025

In 2025 we launched Profumum Roma's official TikTok profile, a touchpoint previously absent from the brand's strategy. From the very first content, the community responded with views and spontaneous comments on the visual identity and the sensations the videos evoked. Many creators and customers began tagging the maison in their own content.
