V&A Launches Scented Tearaway OOH for ‘Marie Antoinette Style’

OOH Print Behavior Change
Quick Answer: V&A South Kensington launches a high-impact OOH special build at Vinegar Yard: a 10-in-a-row billboard with scented tearaways teasing the ‘Marie Antoinette Style’ exhibition.

V&A South Kensington is taking over Vinegar Yard with a multisensory OOH special build for its new Marie Antoinette Style exhibition—designed to spark buzz among fashion, beauty and design-curious younger audiences.

What’s the build?

A 10-in-a-row billboard created by Anything is Possible with Jack Arts and Posterscope, turning the site into a teaser for the exhibition experience.

Scented tearaways: street-level immersion

The installation features exclusive scented tearaways by AVM Curiosities. Scratch to release ‘Powder & Rouge’—a floral blend of orris root, rose, lavender, tuberose, violet, musk, jasmine and orange blossom.

The 105 × 105 mm pink/purple squares mimic a handkerchief with a Marie Antoinette monogram in the corners. Flip the card and you’ll find exhibition details.

Where & when

The campaign runs for two weeks from Monday 22 September at Vinegar Yard (near London Bridge)—timed with the exhibition opening that explores Marie Antoinette’s lasting influence across 250+ years of design, fashion, film and art.

Why it matters for OOH

Multisensory creative—sight, touch and scent—drives dwell, memorability and shares. By bringing the exhibition’s world onto the street, the V&A turns curiosity into intent before visitors even reach the museum.
