The Lancôme Summer season is officially on. The vibrant Les Ô de Lancôme activation transforms the traveller’s path into an immersive and unmissable coastal escape.
By combining immersive storytelling with unique services, from refreshing granitas to mood-boosting mists, the journey is totally reinvented through the spirit of summer: airports become more than transit hubs, they are the start of the holiday itself.
Rooted in the vibrant, sun-drenched aesthetic of a French Riviera beach cabin, the campaign offers travellers a relaxing and joyful coastal escape. This immersive experience is built around three core pillars:
Strong colour impact: standing out instantly through a striking, high-energy pink and white design.
Iconic summer codes: leveraging universally recognizable, feel-good summer elements.
Unforgettable retailtainment: delivering an exceptional, interactive customer journey that engages the senses from the beginning to the end.
The Ultimate Summer Vacation Experience
Travellers living the experience at Istanbul Airport
Capitalizing on the unique sense of time that defines the summer vacation season, Lancôme invites travellers at Istanbul Airport to step into a vibrant summer world that completely redefines the travel experience. By transforming ordinary airport waiting time into wow time, Lancôme helps travellers effortlessly forget travel stress and escape into an immersive experience.
The journey kicks off with the “Spin the Wheel” activity. Travellers spin the wheel to pick their moody bracelet, matching their current state of mind, whether happy, energized, or in search of harmony, to their ideal summer mist of the day.
Next, the olfactive discovery area enchants the senses with playful, matchy granita displays. The fragrance menu showcases the mist’s composition, while a central crushed-ice visual evokes a refreshing summer treat. Interactive elements, including the mist bottle and a straw labeled “Smell Me,” transform fragrance discovery into a delightful multi-sensory moment.
Beauty enthusiasts can then head over to the makeup consultation area. Set against a clean, vibrant pink vanity table, the ultimate Makeup Bar provides an inviting space for visitors to get their personalized summer look.
The adventure continues at the customization station, where the “Customize your cup” activity invites travelers to personalize their Travel Retail Exclusive Summer Cup or Juicy Tube with playful, summer-themed stickers. By blending lifestyle accessories with beauty essentials, this activation turns retail into a memorable brand interaction.
Finally, travelers can unwind and have fun at the lounge area. Featuring an engaging ring-toss game, this relaxing space invites visitors to test their skills and connect with the brand in a joyful atmosphere. True to Lancôme’s spirit of generosity, numerous gifts are waiting to be won, ensuring that every moment of downtime becomes an unforgettable highlight of the summer escape.
