This article investigates the impact of the package design complexity on the brand perception. 3 Champagne labels, representative of 3 graphic design styles observed on the market, were created and then tested among 305 consumers according to a between-subjects experiment. These 3 labels contain the same text but different graphic designs in order to manipulate the level of simplicity/complexity of the package design. The results allow to verify different proposals from the literature. They demonstrate a significant impact of the package design level of simplicity on the brand perception as well as on the buying choices made by the consumer
