How 独特艾琳 (Dute Ailin) turned a drama moment into Douyin seeding for its body wash
独特艾琳 (Dute Ailin) built its 618 launch for 我的少年 (My Youth) body wash around an ambassador’s youthfulness and a hit drama, using 20 creators and 23 videos to frame fragrance as emotional value rather than lead with a discount.
Make the scent shorthand for the ambassador’s youthful appeal
The campaign theme and hashtag, "这就是少年香" (This is the scent of youth), tied the ambassador’s youthful image to 独特艾琳香氛沐浴露 (Dute Ailin fragranced body wash) from the 我的少年 (My Youth) series. Drama viewing and fan imagination supplied the entry point: smelling the fragrance was presented as "拥有同款少年感" (having the same youthful aura). The product story combined a premium blended scent, a "伪体香" (faux natural body scent) effect and a unisex woody-floral profile with a botanical amino-acid formula. All 23 posts were videos, with placements run through Xingtu to keep the selling points consistent.
It addressed young female drama fans, Gen Z students and urban working women seeking everyday polish and a subtle personal scent. After a concentrated opening burst, mid-tier creators extended the story through lifestyle vlogs and comedy across dating, couples, fitness, travel and daily routines. Entertainment, food and fashion verticals deliberately widened the context beyond personal care. The call to action was to search the store or product showcase, with a livestream trailed for 9 pm on 30 June; there was no stated price discount.
