Scentbird x The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Collection

Scentbird and Drift have taken an innovative step by launching a fragrance collaboration inspired by The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, creating an immersive experience for fans and fragrance lovers alike. For the first time, Scentbird has introduced an intellectual property (IP) fragrance collection in conjunction with a major film release. This limited-edition collection encompasses an Eau de Parfum, a Home Scent Diffuser, and a Car Freshener, allowing fans to embody the film's stunning landscapes and themes of hope in their daily lives.

The essence of this collection derives from the wild and flourishing nature featured in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. With notes including wild berries, apple trees, golden daisies, butterfly bushes, and meadow moss, each fragrance transports wearers to a realm where beauty and danger coexist. Just as Panem has its own light and darkness, the scents reflect this duality, capturing the spirit of a golden dawn that symbolizes hope for a better future.

“Fragrance has a unique ability to transport you into another reality, which is why it feels so natural for us to extend The Hunger Games experience through scent,” explained Elena Lécué, Chief Marketing Officer at Scentbird and Drift. Both companies aim to create a complete sensory journey for fans, allowing them to incorporate the beauty and resilience showcased in the series into their everyday lives.

Fans can establish a personal connection with the world of Panem through the limited edition fragrances. Scentbird’s The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Eau de Parfum presents a fruity woody scent that embodies brightness and an untamed spirit. It's designed not just to remind fans of the film but to evoke a profound sense of hope and liberation. Meanwhile, Drift enhances the experience by offering a Home Scent Diffuser and a Car Freshener, allowing fans to fill their surroundings with fragrances inspired by the lush landscape of the series.

Debbie Olshan, Senior Director of Consumer Products at Lionsgate, expressed excitement over providing fans new ways to connect with the beloved world of The Hunger Games. This collaboration with Scentbird and Drift translates the story into scents that fans can cherish, echoing the enduring sentiments embedded in the narrative for years.

In a committed effort to further engage fans, Scentbird and Drift also partnered with Lionsgate for a special activation at the New York Comic Con. The event featured a sensory journey linked to the film's Sunrise Gardens campaign. Drift's Home Scent Diffusers encapsulated the convention space, immersing attendees into Panem's environment. Central to this activation was the Scentbird x Drift Scent Station, where fans could fully experience this fragrant venture through interactive sampling and exploration. Attendees got to discover the intricate world of the collaboration via engaging digital content and fan-created artwork, with an aim to drive social sharing and community interaction.

The limited-edition The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping x Scentbird Eau de Parfum is launching on November 5, 2026, exclusively on Scentbird, starting at a price of $17.95. Simultaneously, the Hunger Games Sunrise on the Reaping x Drift Home Scent Diffuser and Car Freshener will also be available, starting at $14.95. Each product is designed to celebrate and extend the cinematic experience into everyday settings, transforming the way fans engage with their favorite stories.

The characters and events featured in The Hunger Games are further brought to life by the highly anticipated film directed by Francis Lawrence. The story centers around Haymitch Abernathy (played by Joseph Zada), amidst the politically charged atmosphere of Panem, as he grapples with formidable challenges while preparing for the 50th Annual Hunger Games.

As the Hunger Games franchise continues to flourish, its universe expands through various experiences beyond cinema, including theme parks and live productions, making such collaborations more significant in connecting fans to their beloved stories.

Conclusion

This collaboration not only represents a novel approach to fragrance but also highlights the deep connection fans have with The Hunger Games. By intertwining scent with storytelling, Scentbird and Drift present fans with a memorable way to carry a piece of Panem with them, enriching their everyday experiences with every spritz.
