If you’ve not heard of them before, “Beast Mode” fragrances are those with maximum longevity and projection, the kind of scents that walk into the room before you do. They’re a bit of a trend in the fragrance world at the moment, and we’ve had a lot of people asking for them in store.
We have a great litmus test for Beast Mode fragrances here at Lore – if a fragrance is sprayed by a staff member on the floor and it makes its way upstairs to the office where we can smell it within a couple of minutes, it qualifies as a Beast Mode scent.
This week for Fragrance Friday, Jess discusses some of the scents that definitely meet Beat Mod criteria for her. Keep reading to find out what they are!
