A below-wholesale fragrance-oil retailer, built for volume and trust
A 1,000+ SKU catalogue for a New York DTC and wholesale brand, structured around fast browsing, sample-first buying, and a dedicated wholesale funnel.

Fragrance website design built around the one problem every scent brand shares
Every fragrance website is solving the same problem underneath whatever it looks like: the buyer cannot smell the product through a screen, and the page has to substitute for that with enough specificity to close the sale anyway. This is the one category we've designed for repeatedly and from genuinely different positions, below-wholesale volume, ultra-luxury oud, minimalist two-SKU, Gen-Z discovery, session-based experience, which is a different qualification than having designed one nice fragrance site once.
What has to replace the sample
Scent notes, longevity, projection and how a fragrance actually wears over a day are the information a physical counter gives for free and a website has to build deliberately. That means comparison language a buyer already uses ("similar to X, but warmer"), sampling or discovery-set programmes that de-risk a first purchase, and photography specific enough to feel like evidence of the actual bottle rather than stock imagery of a generic one.
Get this wrong and the site looks fine and still underperforms, because the page never answered the one question every fragrance buyer is actually asking before they pay.
The same category, seven different customers
A below-wholesale DTC oils retailer, an AED 999–2,999 ultra-luxury oud house and a $29–65 Gen-Z discovery brand are nominally in the same category and need almost nothing in common on the page: different price anchoring, different proof, different checkout expectations, different volume of SKUs to browse. Treating "fragrance site" as one template is how a brand ends up with a page built for someone else's customer.
We start from your specific position in the category rather than a fragrance-site template, because the position is what actually determines the page.
Wholesale, sample-first and gifting as real flows
For a large share of fragrance brands, wholesale enquiries and sample-first purchasing carry as much volume as full-size retail, and they're commonly bolted on as an afterthought. A contact form nobody checks, or a sample SKU treated identically to a full bottle in the cart. We build these as first-class paths from the start where your business actually needs them, not as a form wedged into a template that assumed single-item retail.
Frequently asked questions
Have you actually built fragrance websites before, or is this a keyword page?
Seven, at the time of writing. Self-initiated concept builds, each aimed at a genuinely different position in the category rather than the same template with a new logo. They're linked below. None are paid client engagements; each is a real, live build.
Which platform is right for a fragrance store?
It follows catalogue size and content needs, not a default. Shopify suits most retail-volume catalogues. Webflow suits a brand-led site built around story rather than a large SKU count. Custom Next.js suits a large catalogue or specific performance and content requirements neither of the others can meet natively.
How do you handle sample and discovery-set pricing?
As a distinct purchase flow rather than a smaller version of the full-size cart: sample sets are usually a different decision for the buyer (try before committing) and deserve their own page logic, bundling rules and follow-up rather than being treated identically to a full bottle.
Do you work with brands outside fragrance?
Yes. The underlying discipline (substituting for what a screen can't convey, matching the page to your actual customer) applies to any considered-purchase category. Fragrance is simply where this studio's concept portfolio happens to sit.

An ultra-luxury oud house, priced and presented to match
Built for a UAE oud and attar brand retailing in the thousands of dirhams: bespoke blending, a distributor program, and an editorial tone that never shouts.
View conceptTwo signature scents, told as a story instead of a catalogue
A minimalist, dark-toned site built around just two fragrances (Hayat and Rooh), proof a small SKU count can still carry a confident, editorial presence.
