Challenge

The brand’s existing fragrance discovery tool relied on a fixed, question-based format that limited personalization and made the experience feel transactional. It couldn’t interpret nuanced customer needs or natural language, reducing confidence in purchase decisions.

Solution

A conversational, AI-powered experience

Toptal reimagined scent discovery as a guided conversation, implementing a large language model that allows customers to describe preferences in their own words, then translating that input into personalized recommendations.

Personalization aligned to brand voice

By combining expertise in conversational AI, data science, and digital experience, Toptal delivered a production-ready solution that mirrors the brand’s in-store consultation, bringing context-aware, high-touch personalization into the digital journey.

Outcome

A more intuitive shopping journey

Customers can now interact naturally with the platform, receiving tailored recommendations that reflect their specific needs, preferences, and context, making fragrance discovery more personal and engaging.

Stronger engagement and conversion signals

The new experience drives deeper interaction, higher completion rates, and improved follow-through on recommendations. By closing the gap between curiosity and confidence, the brand is better positioned to scale digital personalization and premium commerce.
