A study conducted by Censuswide revealed that 60% of cat owners wouldn’t date someone their cat dislikes. In other words, if her cat doesn’t like you, you’re done.
That’s why Lynx had to step up. For the first time ever, a body scent infused with catnip (Source: IFRA) has been developed in collaboration with Lynx’s expert perfumers.
The Not-So-Secret Weapon: Catnip
Meet catnip—nature’s love potion for felines.
This mint-family plant contains nepetalactone, a compound that mimics cat pheromones, making cats instantly drawn to it. Now, for the first time, it’s been bottled into a fine fragrance. The result? A scent so intriguing, it’ll have even the meanest felines rolling at your feet
With a launch film directed by award-winning director Andreas Nilsson, the campaign brings this unexpected idea to life with Lynx’s signature humor. And it doesn’t stop there—it expands into print, OOH, audio, guerrilla marketing, and a bold social push aimed at turning every unfortunate “cat hates guy” story into a love story instead.
This product innovation, along with the full campaign, has been launched first in the UK market, with plans for potential expansion into other regions.
