Context

WearADHD is a music-first fashion label that lives for crossovers, chaos, and culture jabs. This April Fool’s, instead of teasing a fake drop, we dropped feelings.



Objectives

  • Break Instagram with satire so sharp it smells like truth

  • Explore fan culture and parasocial obsession through product form

  • Showcase WearADHD’s ability to create ideas that transcend apparel

  • Turn our design feed into a moodboard-worthy mess

Challenges

  • Nail the visual believability — this had to look real enough to fool, aesthetic enough to save

  • Tap into each artist’s emotional core in one scent line

Our Approach

1. Concept & Creative Writing

Each perfume was crafted as a parody of both artist archetypes and luxury fragrance copywriting.
Examples:

  • Frank Ocean“it smells like waiting… beautifully.”

  • Drake“smells like texting ‘u up?’ to someone in 2003.”

  • Playboi Carti“This is not perfume. This is Carti in mist form.”

  • Clairo“vanilla skin, soft florals, and a memory you can’t place.”

  • Charli XCX“synthetic emotional glitter on citrus, damage top.”

2. Visual Design & Mockups

All perfume bottles were rendered using clean, editorial 3D modeling.

  • Minimal layouts with monochrome bottle palettes inspired by artist aesthetics

  • Typography-driven packaging — loud names, subtle scent labels

  • Campaign graphics included intentional perfume clichés twisted into emotional punches

3. Campaign Execution

  • Dropped on IG without context on April 1

  • No hard CTA — just vibes, ambiguity, and hyperrealism

  • Comments exploded with “I NEED THIS” and “you’re not serious rn”
