Building a storefront with attitude, without sacrificing conversion
FEATURED Work
Subversive Scents by the Rolling Stones
The Challenge
Blending in was not an option.
With a bold point of view, provocative identity, and modern fragrance positioning, they needed more than a standard Shopify theme. They needed a digital experience that could carry the same energy as the brand while still guiding customers confidently to purchase.
Because for standout brands, the real challenge is creating something visually standout… that still converts like a machine.
Working with the brand’s design team, we developed a custom Shopify storefront engineered to balance two critical goals:
Create emotion and intrigue the second someone lands
Make shopping intuitive, fluid, and frictionless
The build focused heavily on custom user experience and movement-led design, including:
Custom animations that bring the brand to life and create a premium, immersive feel
Strategic motion cues that guide attention without overwhelming the shopper
Smooth transitions and interactions that make browsing feel elevated
Clean product discovery that helps customers explore scent options with ease
Mobile-first performance for fast, modern shopping behavior
Streamlined purchase paths that reduce drop-off and hesitation
To support long-term growth, we also implemented automated Klaviyo flows that turn traffic into subscribers, subscribers into customers, and customers into repeat buyers.
The Result
The finished storefront delivers a shopping experience that feels every bit as bold as the brand itself. Visitors are pulled into the world of Subversive Scents through intentional motion, immersive visuals, and a seamless path to explore products without friction. Rather than choosing between creativity and conversion, the site successfully blends both—creating stronger engagement, smoother purchasing behavior, and an elevated customer journey that continues through automated email flows after the first visit.
