Understanding what needed to change.

Indonesian fragrance is a volume game. Most brands compete on marketplace discount, which caps margin and trains the customer to wait for the next flash sale. I wanted to find out whether brand work could hold margin in a category that defaults to cutting price.

Building the system, not just the surface.

Wrote the brand deck first — positioning, logo system, type, palette — then designed packaging across an eight-scent range so the product feels worth more than it costs. Built the storefront, ran full-funnel paid media, set the pricing and voucher strategy, ran teaser campaigns for new scents, and directed the content and live-selling teams.

The result beyond the presentation.

Over 10,000 bottles sold nationwide and roughly IDR 1.5 billion in cumulative revenue since launch in January 2025, held at about 25% net margin after platform fees. The revenue is modest by design — the point of owning it is that every decision in the funnel is mine to test, and the margin is the part most brands in this category cannot hold.
