AChallenge The task

Hanhuaxiang offers incense sticks and powder for urban customers. Its project questionnaire identified moments such as bedtime, reading, time alone and work breaks. The brand needed to explain why incense fits life today, translating culture, origins and traditional formulas into useful choices for first-time buyers.

BThinking The key decision

We focused the brand on relaxed living through natural incense. Agarwood, sandalwood and cypress introduce the materials, while Guimu, Ningxin and Jingxi relate to different states of mind. Customers can first find an incense for the moment, then learn about ingredients and use.

CDesign Content & visual work

A vertical oval and rising white curves suggest fragrance in the logo. Wood brown and simple typography retain an East Asian character. Cream, pale purple and soft pink distinguish the three ranges. Horizontal boxes and transparent tubes repeat bilingual names, giving occasion, product and packaging information a clear order.

DApplication Applications & delivery

Packaging, scent-experience materials and mobile pages share colours and information hierarchy. Customers encounter the same brand as they browse, learn and handle the product. Strategy, product ranges and design provide a shared foundation for future stories about time, space and mood, followed by materials and use.

Strategy explained

Core challenge: Rich cultural and ingredient information does not immediately tell a first-time buyer when or how to use incense.
Strategic focus: Start with everyday states and product ranges, then explain materials and use within a relaxed-living direction.
Underlying principle: A recognisable occasion makes the product relevant; material and usage information then support a considered choice.
