Long awaited and highly anticipated, Perdrisât has finally landed on the shelves of Lore Perfumery and… We. Cannot. Get. Enough.
The 10th Australian fragrance house we now stock at Lore, Perdrisât is conceptualised, designed and manufactured locally here in Melbourne by perfume (and all-round) icon, Callum Rory Mitchell.
With a background in filmmaking, Callum’s approach to perfumery focuses on the evocative power of fragrance. Each scent in the Perdrisât range is a character or a vignette, a closeup scene with vivid imagery. While Callum has his own stories and associations attached to each scent, he invites the wearer to bring their own interpretation to the table, as you would when you watch a movie.
You’ll notice Perdrisât’s fragrances have some pretty out there names, and this is demonstrative of the sense of fun and whimsy that Callum has infused each perfume with. Perdrisât fragrances aren’t the product of trends or seasons – but they definitely invite you to have a little fun and use your imagination.
But enough preamble… let’s get into the fragrances!
