At Lore, we are all about storytelling, this is what connects us to fragrance, before we even smell it. And something that we love just as much as storytelling is when we get our wonderful customers giving us very specific, evocative, thought-provoking and meaningful.
So we thought we’d collate some of our favourite requests from customers lately…and of course answer them all here too!Â
So for this request, we’re thinking quirky and unusual skin scents – nothing boring here. We needed to find fragrances that had that musky, skin-like, and airy quality yet also something that made you think a little bit. Something that added texture or grit, something memorable.
This collection needed to be mind-bending – something familiar but weird, confusing, as the brief says – but also incredible. We want statement scents here, scents that contain familiar smells, but ones that aren’t often used in perfumes…fragrances for people who want to get noticed…
While the clean-girl aesthetic has been going strong for some time now (and tbh we still love it!), we are definitely seeing a lot of people want the opposite of this. And to us, this isn’t necessarily dirty scents, they’re still femme vibes but with something underneath an animal or provocative undertone that taken from clean-girl to bad-girl instantly.
Delicious pastry plus butter plus sugar – gourmand vibes with a smoky twist. Sounds fab…so very French, so very decadent and chic. We have the best selection of after-dark style smoky gourmands right here.
So this is uber subjective, and also so much fun. We basically went for the fragrances that are loud, intense and unapologetic; and also the fragrances that elicit an emotional reaction from customers – love or hate! They are all powerful fragrances that will undoubtedly get attention.
We love any dark requests like this and when we spent some time thinking about this particular vampire, we went in several directions. We went for one that was bloody and rich and dark, then we went for alluring, sensual old-world glam that we could imagine this vampire who comes from old-money would wear.
Love this! We’re thinking fresh soil, dewy green grass and earthy vibes all mixed into one – some in this selection are more on the green grass side and some are more literal dirt and soil…and all are incredible!
