Showing there is more to ECOYA than candles, and helping shoppers imagine a fragrance they cannot smell online.

ECOYA

Mandarin Gin Soy Wax Melts

The website's emphasis on candles was hiding much of the catalogue. ECOYA needed to make its wider range easier to find and give customers more useful ways to choose a scent in a visual medium.

  • The project

    ECOYA is an Australasian fragrance house whose range extends from soy wax candles into bodycare, kitchen and laundry products. Overdose New Zealand worked with the brand on its Australian and New Zealand Shopify stores.

    Navigation brought previously less-visible collections forward, while product and collection journeys used ingredient imagery, short descriptions and references to the mood or moment a fragrance creates.

    The refresh also introduced Yotpo reviews and a more personable tone, supporting the brief's focus on customer trust and repeat purchasing.

Experience

UX & UI

To address the challenge of accurately conveying scent online, we aimed to simplify the user experience by replacing scent jargon with relatable language, memories, and atmospheres associated with scents to help users understand the product and its scent. For instance, we used phrases like “Smells like the first day of Summer” to help users imagine light, fresh, and floral scents. We also introduced a scent glossary to cater to customers with different levels of candle knowledge. Another challenge was to educate the user about ECOYA’s extensive product offering beyond candles, such as kitchen and laundry products, body care, and car diffusers. We restructured the navigation by displaying the categories in the first level of navigation and placed category blocks high up on the homepage for easy access. Additionally, we leveraged cross-selling to introduce users to new categories and products. Our approach was to provide a seamless and engaging online experience for ECOYA’s customers, and we are proud to have delivered on this objective.
