Desert-Inspired Boutique Pop-Ups

Amouage Hosted an Omani Desert Pop-Up in L.A.

— August 28, 2024 — Marketing
Amouage, a luxury fragrance brand, hosted its first pop-up event in the United States at The Grove in Los Angeles. The installation, designed by Gladiator Productions, was inspired by the Omani Desert, featuring elements that echo the natural landscape and architecture of Oman. The exterior of the pop-up "included perforated geographic patterns, while the interior showcased a display of products against a backdrop of crimson sand."

At the center of the installation was "a large, 8.5-foot-wide pot housing a sculpture-inspired palm tree; this feature also included a mirror, glowing domes to highlight the fragrance collection, and a bench," all contributing to a thoughtfully designed space that offered visitors a unique and immersive desert-like experience.

By incorporating a desert theme, Amouage created an immersive sensory experience that draws inspiration from distinctive and rich aromatic elements, such as warm spices, rare resins, and exotic flowers that thrive in arid environments.
