A scent of somewhere else

Overview

Sell a feeling you can't smell online

Elsewhere makes evocative, story-led candles - each one a place and a moment, like "Country Club", told in rich, cinematic copy. The hardest thing in e-commerce: selling scent through a screen. The store had to make people feel a fragrance they can't smell.

End to end: a moody, editorial Webflow site, a guided scent finder, and gift-set merchandising that lifts the basket and the brand.

Challenges

The hard parts of selling scent online

Fragrance is the one product you genuinely can't experience online. The store had to evoke each candle through story and image, and turn atmosphere into add-to-cart.

Evoke the un-smellable

Words, imagery and mood have to do what a sniff can't - make a scent felt through the screen.

Guide the choice

With a range of scents, a guided finder helps shoppers land on "their" candle by mood and moment.

Built to be gifted

Candles are a go-to gift - gift sets and bundles lift the order value and win new customers.

Atmosphere on mobile

A slow, immersive feel that still loads fast and converts on a phone.

A scent matched to your mood

A guided scent finder turns "where do I start?" into a personal recommendation - by mood, note and moment - while cinematic storytelling makes each candle feel like a place worth escaping to.
