Lore is a new fragrance brand specializing in “scents that take you somewhere,” appealing to those who want to evoke memories, shift moods and enjoy immersive experiences that momentarily take them beyond the everyday.
The brand is introducing itself to the world with unique, emotive scents like Somewhere but nowhere (cedarwood, black tea, cardamom and vanilla cream) and Lovely and a little twisted (rose milk, pistachio, patchouli and resin.) Aesthetically, the storytelling fragrances are packaged in design-forward flacons with fashion influences.
When it officially launches online and through Sephora, Lore is a brand to watch—it was founded by the former chief executive of Rhode, founders of Youth to the People, and the co-founder of Milk Makeup.
