Logo branded perfumes and aftershaves aren't an uncommon way for classic brands to get additional attention. Look, for example, at the promotional Xbox Fragrance from a few years back. This time it is a local brand taking the plunge and hoping to make a custom scent work for them; Victoria Bitter AKA VB Beer. Can custom aromatic gifts really help a beer brand reach new heights?

Logo Branded Novelty Gifts

Australians started brewing Victoria Bitter in 1854 and now in 2020, it is one of the most consistently popular beers in the country. Thanks to marketing campaigns over the years that have focused on VB as a "working Aussie's drink" it is now heavily associated as being a readily available beer at most pubs, clubs, and bottle-o's across the country. Their latest marketing campaign takes the form of a fresh new version of VB as a men's fragrance, available for retail sale. Known as Thirst, the fragrance name obviously recalls the brand's classic slogan, "A hard-earned thirst needs a big cold beer, and the best cold beer is Vic, Victoria Bitter."

A Unique Product Based on a Classic Brand

Thirst is labelled as a fragrance "eau de hard work" and is supplied in a custom-designed bottled that, unsurprisingly, is in the shape of a classic VB stubby. While a lot of fragrance lines tend to go with square or rounded bottles that all look very similar aside from their labels, the VB fragrance has been supplied in a custom "mini stubby bottle" that gives it an eye-catching look that immediately sets it apart from the competition. Another part of the new logo-branded fragrance is that it is manufactured using perfume oil and actual VB hops so unlike other tie-in fragrances it does smell a lot like the original product -- which is undoubtedly what people buying a VB fragrance want!
