Designing for the Senses

Givaudan’s Journey
into Emotion-Driven UX

Givaudan, a global leader in flavors, fragrances, and active cosmetic ingredients, doesn’t just sell products — it creates sensory experiences. In a digital-first world, the company sought to mirror that immersive, emotional quality online. The challenge: how to make a website feel as layered and evocative as their products, while also supporting sales and lead generation.

Givaudan partnered with Fugu to reimagine its digital presence through an experience-led website, blending emotional storytelling, interactive content, and strategic tools for its sales force. The result? A dynamic, multi-touchpoint platform that resonates with users, enhances sales communication, and captures valuable data — all without compromising the brand’s luxury and scientific essence.

The Objective

Emotion-Driven Digital
Engagement

For Givaudan, the website needed to do more than just inform. It needed to:

  • Evoke emotional value around its products
  • Offer interactive storytelling that mirrored real-life application and benefits
  • Provide a channel for customer engagement and lead capture
  • Enable sales representatives to connect with clients more effectively

With these goals in mind, the team set out to design a user experience that would bring the brand’s sensory identity to life on-screen — and offer measurable impact across marketing and sales.

The Solution

Scenario-Based
Interactive Web Design

The website’s concept centered around a scenario-based design, where users explore Givaudan products within relevant, emotionally charged contexts. Each section guides users through carefully designed Q&A interactions that mimic personal consultation — asking them about moods, preferences, or desired effects.

 

This interactive journey served a dual purpose:

  • It created a more immersive product discovery process, linking product features with emotional outcomes.
  • It led users toward conversion points, where they could submit their contact details for tailored product recommendations or follow-ups.

By blending thoughtful design and emotional engagement, Givaudan’s website stood apart from traditional B2B sites in the beauty and wellness industry.

Empowering Sales Teams with Smart Digital Tools

Understanding the crucial role of sales in Givaudan’s operations, the website also included tools designed specifically for sales enablement:

  • Custom Shareable Links: Sales representatives could generate and send product-specific links with built-in account tags. These links allowed customers to explore on their own while associating the interaction with a specific sales rep — enabling personalized tracking and attribution.
  • Lead Capture Integration: Each interaction culminated in an opportunity for users to submit information based on the specific product or solution they were interested in. This made lead generation a natural extension of the experience.
  • Mobile Version: Recognizing the importance of in-field and mobile access, a responsive version was created to allow seamless use during meetings, events, or trade shows. This increased accessibility and supported real-time engagement across devices.

To ensure Givaudan’s digital platform remained fresh and relevant, a custom-built Content Management System (CMS) was developed to support:

  • Frequent product updates
  • Scenario-specific content recommendations
  • Flexible content arrangements by region or category

 

The CMS also serves as a data hub, capturing high-intent interactions and allowing the export of user data for follow-up and deeper analysis. With this structure, Givaudan could scale its digital storytelling while continuously gathering actionable insights on customer preferences and behavior.

Results

A Seamless Blend of Brand
Emotion, and Conversion

This project marked a new direction in how Givaudan connects digitally with its B2B audiences — elevating the experience from static catalog-style browsing to something more intuitive, interactive, and human.

Stronger emotional brand presence online

Increased lead generation through natural interaction

Enhanced sales rep enablement tools with traceable customer journeys

Streamlined content updates and performance insights through CMS

In bridging emotional storytelling with data-driven design, Givaudan redefined what a digital experience could be for a company rooted in the art and science of the senses.

Conclusion

Designing for Impact
Beyond the Screen

As digital engagement becomes ever more nuanced, Givaudan’s approach offers a blueprint for companies seeking to elevate their online presence beyond functional design. By focusing on emotional interaction, sales enablement, and backend flexibility, the brand successfully turned its website into a tool that doesn’t just reflect its identity — it advances its strategy.
