RICHMOND, Virginia , October 22, 2013 (press release) – With distinctive spray “personalities,” new fragrance pumps increase brand loyalty and drive repeat purchase intent

MeadWestvaco Corporation (NYSE: MWV), a global leader in packaging and packaging solutions, introduced today at Luxe Pack Monaco the Emotions of Spray Collection by MWV, an expanded line of six fragrance pumps, each with unique spray characteristics.

As the fragrance industry evolves, MWV is focused on enhancing the consumer experience through the spray. The Emotions of Spray Collection offers brand owners the opportunity to create a perfect match between the fragrance and the sprayer, heightening the consumer experience, increasing brand loyalty and driving repeat purchase intent.

“We view luxury fragrance much like fashion and beauty – each intended to make the consumer feel confident. But it’s about more than just feeling good, it’s really about facilitating a transformative state of mind – moving to the sublime through an emotional connection,” said Sandy Gregory, fragrance marketing director, MWV Beauty & Personal Care. “MWV’s consumer insights revealed an opportunity to enhance that connection through the spray.”

The Emotions of Spray Collection by MWV includes the original Melodie® pump, Melodie Agile™ and Melodie Forever™, plus three new sprayers that have distinctive spray characteristics to give brand owners even more options to tailor the spray to the positioning and personality of the fragrance:

Melodie Pure™ provides a perfect and fine atomization, even for water-based formulas, avoiding a wet feeling on the skin and enriching the luxury experience.
Melodie Delicate™ is an infinitely discreet and elegant spray, producing an ultra-feminine experience with its small, focused spray that is both soft and quiet.
Maestro Extravagant™ offers an exceptionally voluminous spray mist that is refreshing and airy, with a long and sustained spray pattern, providing an exuberant and indulging experience.

At Luxe Pack Monaco, MWV will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Barcelona facility, MWV’s Center of Excellence for Fragrance, which manufactures all six sprayers in the Emotions of Spray Collection. Visitors at Luxe Pack Monaco can meet the MWV team and learn more about MWV’s fragrance, cosmetics and personal care dispensing solutions and premium paperboard at booth RD9.
