Her pink villa is the stage for her fantasies, where she follows her own rules, and only hers. She does her glossy red hair up in big bows and rollerblades around her villa, poking her tongue out at any disapproving looks. When she eventually tires of stirring up mischief, she reclines like a true diva and eats her favourite dessert – whipped cream with wild strawberries. The strawberry on top of this sweet feast? Her edible fragrance, swirling around her dress like a fruity cloud. Miami Shake truly takes the cake!
“With Miami Shake, I decided to present the first really gourmand fragrance of the collection. With Wild Strawberries as a top note, of course they had to be wild like Juliette. An elevated fruity scent, silky like whipped cream and musky, with a long lasting trail. As the composition came together, the woman behind the perfume appeared to me as well, playing hide and seek in her oversized Miami villa. Pastels colors, blue pool, and retro vibes. It’s never too much. Will her olfactory treat make you succumb?” – Romano Ricci, the perfumer.

LORE LOVES
This fragrance is the ultimate fun, nostalgic gourmand. The opening is redolent of anything strawberry scented you can remember from the 90s or early 00s, and has this real sparkle to it. As it wears however, you get the creamy lactonic notes mingling with musk, and suddenly the scent feels so much more elevated. Miami Shake kind of takes on the concept of what actually makes a “tacky” scent – it shrugs off the perfume elitists and says: “We’re going to Miami, baby!”. It’s bold, colourful, playful – definitely for the person that likes to have fun with their perfumes.
