Building a Home Fragrance Brand

About Bogique

We have been working on the development of a new home fragrance brand called Bogique – this is a sophisticated home fragrance brand founded by two entrepreneurs from the Netherlands. Not coming from a beauty background, they decided to engage Bespoke Advantage to guide them through the development of their brand.

Our Approach & Results

  • They joined our online programme, BeautytoLife, to gain a clear understanding of how to build a beauty brand and worked with us on a one-to-one basis. BeautytoLife is our online educational platform, where through a series of courses, we take brand founders from ‘concept to shelf’.
  • We worked with them on their brand strategy – by assessing the home fragrance market, consumer trends, competitive landscape, pricing, and distribution opportunities to ensure
    the brand had a strong commercial foundation.
  • We crafted their distinct brand identity and brand story, created their Vision, Mission, and Brand Values.
  • We designed their branding concepts, establishing a polished visual identity and brand guidelines.
  • We conducted market research to gain insights on consumers perspectives regarding branding, packaging and pricing.
  • We led their product development on a day-to-day basis working closely with the founders contract manufacturers, packing companies and fragrance houses to identify which products to develop.

 

“When we at Bogique had the idea to enter the home fragrance market, I started by taking Bespoke Advantage’s course, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Although Gian and I had never created a brand from concept to shelf before, we decided to hire Janet and her team to guide us through the full process of branding and product development. Our product developer, Roz, has been incredibly skilled and patient. We have a very clear vision for Bogique and often refined our ideas along the way, but the team always kept us on track helping us make the right decisions creatively and financially. It’s been really exciting to see our concept come to life with their support. I can highly recommend Janet and her team, especially for anyone who doesn’t have prior experience in the beauty or home fragrance industry. Their meetings are both educational and enjoyable, and they truly think alongside you to build something that feels authentic and aligned with your brand vision.”
