A rebrand that is heaven scent

Zohoor is a Saudi perfume brand that brings together the best of French and Arabian fragrances. Founded in 1991 by two brothers from Al Khobar, KSA, the company grew to over +250 stores across the GCC region. Besides a wide range of off-the-shelf products, they also allow their customers to create their own custom fragrances – making Zohoor the one and only “Home of Mixology” in the Middle East.

Challenges we faced with the Zohoor rebrand

When Zohoor approached us, they were facing several challenges:

It was a brand with little or no definition
Its purpose was not communicated well internally or externally
Their identity didn’t exude luxury, refinement or desirability
They were perceived as a flashy, teenager-y, always-on-sale brand

Strategy we created for the Zohoor brand

We helped build ‘a new Zohoor’ by:

Running client workshops to discover the brand’s true purpose
Creating a brand vision they could believe in (to inspire and empower self-expression)
Creating a brand value system (Creative, Authentic, Masterful and Passionate) helping the team build a culture that could support this vision build a culture
Defined their brand personality and archetype (the Creator)
Redefining their brand promise (to inspire your self-expression & delight your senses)

Results of the Zohoor rebrand

The brand was rolled out in a number of flagship stores in Saudi Arabia, as well as online, including in Zohoor’s website and social media profiles, bringing to life a newer, stronger, more modern brand. We were also pleased to learn that:
