Essence of Harris

The scent of the Hebrides

Essence of Harris is a Scottish home fragrance and lifestyle brand inspired by the Isle of Harris, with its products made in Scotland. Its candles, reed diffusers, wax melts and bath and body care carry scents named after places on Harris, such as Seilebost, Losgaintir and Huisinis.

What we did

Hebridean Theme

Tailored the Shopify theme around Essence of Harris’s candles and home fragrance, carrying the brand’s Hebridean character across the store.

Catalogue Navigation

Reworked collection structure, filters and navigation so shoppers can move between candles, diffusers, wax melts, bath and body and bundles.

Scent & Size Details

Refined product pages so scent notes, sizes, care and delivery details are easier to understand before adding to cart.

Mobile Purchase Flow

Tightened mobile layouts, calls to action and cart interactions for a cleaner path from a favourite scent to checkout.

Seasonal Campaign Stack

Configured analytics and marketing touchpoints to support seasonal ranges such as the Festive Collection, and customer follow-up. The store runs Klaviyo for email, Stamped.io for reviews and Fast Bundle for product bundles.

Performance & SEO

Reduced theme and media overhead on Essence of Harris’s candle and collection templates and improved technical SEO and Core Web Vitals.
