A Curated Storefront
One of Aera’s great advantages is the ability to customize your experience with different scents. The storefront provides customization tools like a fragrance profile quiz and a sample booklet. You can access your fragrance history using the My Aera profile which is connected to your app.
While the branding for Aera evolved during the course of the design process, the design system developed was able to accommodate varying display fonts, colors, and background assets to create a polished a minimal design that let the individual scents shine.
