SYNOPSIS: More of a Howdtheydoit than a Whodunnit, this magical tale will sweep you back to simpler times and envelop you in a warm blanket of nostalgia. At the center of the novel is an ice cream shoppe with mysterious powers. Upon entering, customers are hit with “A Whiff of Waffle Cone” and are immediately transported to different periods of their life. Ping-ponging through four generations of rich family history and tender community connections, a narrative emerges with a message of hope and togetherness unlike any other. Rather than dipping into predictable sugary sweetness, the melange of our characters’ voices ring honest and true, making this a highly respected coming-of-age story you’ll want to revisit again and again.

HOW IT WEARS
Undoubtedly the most unique and evocative gourmand we have at Lore, A Whiff of Wafflecone is a syrupy masterpiece! Opening with a vanilla and salted caramel swirl, as the fragrance develops you pick up hints of cinnamon and almond syrup, mellowed by sandalwood and cream. This scent has incredible projection and lasting power – it will give you 6-8 hours of wear, leaving a mouth-watering trail wherever you go.
LORE LOVES
As soon as we first got a whiff of this scent, we were transported to the Pancake Parlour – the opening reminds us a lot of maple syrup drizzled over ice cream and pancakes. As the fragrance develops however, the other notes begin to shine through and it becomes more nuanced. With a decadent complexity and warmth, this extremely wearable scent will make you as desirable as a luxurious scoop of artisanal ice cream. Don’t blame us if a line forms when you wear this!
