The hardest brief in identity work is "make us look serious without making us look corporate."
Serious comes from consistency. Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose.
"Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose" is going straight in my notes. I'd push it further though, I think a lot of that removal happens in legal and stakeholder review, not the initial design pass. Do you find the fight is more with the client's own instincts or with whoever signs off after them?
AURA is a luxury fragrance website concept built around softness, atmosphere, and product storytelling.
The goal was to make the perfume feel almost weightless — combining dreamy skies, delicate pastel tones, translucent UI elements, and an oversized product visual to create an emotional first impression.
Special attention was given to:
• a product-focused hero that makes the fragrance the main visual anchor
• soft glassmorphism cards for fragrance notes, pricing, and product details
• an airy pastel palette inspired by clouds, light, and floral notes
• elegant typography that adds a premium editorial feel
• a fragrance selector that introduces different scents without distracting from the hero
• clear product discovery and shopping actions
• a mobile experience that keeps the same immersive visual atmosphere
• a lightweight mobile menu with product discovery and social touchpoints
The result is a soft, premium digital experience that combines luxury storytelling with clear e-commerce functionality.

I like that this is a second chapter for the same client. Reworking the page around their new positioning, while making it practical in Kajabi, feels much more valuable than just giving it a new look.
