Sovereign Scents
Client: Yvonne Nyambura
Yvonne's premium candle brand got a dark, luxurious storefront — plus an admin dashboard where she manages every fragrance, price and order herself.
The Brief
Yvonne Nyambura builds premium scented candles under the Sovereign Scents brand. Her product photos looked premium, but her selling process didn't — orders lived in chat threads and her catalog changed faster than she could update it.
The brief: a site that feels as expensive as the candles, and a dashboard where she can manage fragrances, prices and orders without technical help.
The Build
Deep charcoal and gold-amber palette with editorial serif typography. The product pages treat every candle like a fragrance profile — notes, burn time and mood — with dark, moody photography throughout.
The dashboard covers fragrance catalog CRUD, pricing, stock levels and order management — Yvonne updates products herself from sovereign-scents-admin.vercel.app.
The Result
- A live luxury storefront at sovereign-scents-lovat.vercel.app.
- A full admin dashboard at sovereign-scents-admin.vercel.app for catalog and orders.
- A brand presence that finally matches the quality of the product.

“The site looks like it was built by a big agency. The admin panel means I never wait for a developer to change a product or price.”
