A premium fragrance e-commerce concept
The Idea
Explore a polished, editorial storefront for a fragrance brand — the tactile, scroll-triggered e-commerce feel premium scent brands use — built as a reusable template.
The Problem
Most small-brand e-commerce sites lean on generic templates that don't convey a sensory, premium product like fragrance.
The Solution
A Next.js storefront with a scroll-driven hero (a mist-and-notes animation), a Postgres-backed product catalog with photo uploads via Vercel Blob, cart and wishlist state persisted client-side, and a single signed-in admin login for catalog management.
My Role
Solo — built the storefront, the admin auth/session layer (signed cookies, hashed passwords), and the product data layer.
Challenges
Getting the animation layer — scroll reveals, hover states, the hero mist effect — to feel premium rather than gimmicky, and building real admin auth (signed sessions, hashed passwords) for what's otherwise a template-style project.
Status
Prototype — self-documented as a 'production-quality prototype, not a finished production system.' Not verified as processing real orders or payments.

- Scroll-reveal, hover, and hero animations tuned for a fragrance brand
