The brilliant light show embodied the full spectrum of the fragrance's power and poetry with the dazzling beams of pure light; breaking boundaries by utilizing cold and lifeless structures as the grand and majestic stage by projecting the seductive glow of "Aura by Swarovski" into the crowd and arousing excitement of sight and smell.
