Our Top 10 Favourite Fragrances for Winter

The weather outside might be frightful, but Lore still smells delightful. 

Winter is upon us, so here are our top 10 best-selling winter fragrances that will keep you warm and cozy the whole season long.

This stunning creation is one of our favourite warm, smoky scents here at Lore. It’s the smell of an erupting volcano, of a winter knit with the smell of a campfire embedded in it, of roasting nuts on a freezing night. It has a spectacular sillage and eternal lasting power – up to 24 hours on the skin!
