Our theme at Lore this month is Viva Las Fragrance, inspired by Sin City in its golden age. Accordingly, we’ve put together a list of products we think some of those colourful Las Vegas characters might have used.
Time to buckle up and get ready for that crazy nightlife, those neon lights and the city that will set your soul on fire!
Electric Wood – the scent of a new guitar – wood, lacquer and metal. With a fusion of traditional citrusy notes (reminiscent of what Elvis would’ve worn back in the day) plus some modern ones (which symbolise the revolutionary impact he had on music), this scent will pack a punch even after you’ve left the building.
To complete the look, you can achieve that signature hairstyle Elvis was so famous for– or any other you so desire – with Triumph & Disaster’s Fibre Royale. Work a bit into the hair, style, and uh, thank you very much!
Feathers, sparkles, glittering smiles and mesmerising performances that attracted audiences from far and wide… those were the Las Vegas showgirls. Elixir de Bombe’s sweet juiciness with its zing of spice and rich floral character transports us right to one of those Vegas residency stages… Encore!
No showgirl’s look is complete without a bit of glitter. A spritz of shimmer shine in your hair and on your body will catch the bright lights of the city, its sweet vanilla scent the perfect base for layering.
Think the Rat Pack – clean cut and shaven, with soft, low voices singing sentimental songs with undeniable charisma. After their performance, with cigar smoke in the air and glasses of whiskey in hand, we imagine the green rooms they hung out in smelt like Nuit de Megève – aromatic, yet smokey and earthy with that old-school touch.
The Crooner is always on the go, and after a big night on the strip he needs to have his portable toiletries ready to make him presentable again. Acca Kappa’s White Moss gift set is full of mini products perfect for such a cause.
Luck be a lady tonight… she’s 60s glitz and glam, covered from head to toe in jewels and fur, her hair coiffed just so. She blows on the dice before you roll, clutching her martini glass, her intoxicating scent filling the air of the casino. She’s wearing The Beautiful Ones; the tuberose, fruit and spice notes mingling with each other thrillingly as you wait with bated breath to see if your bet paid off…
Lady Luck loves a drink but does not love to compromise her style, that’s why she demands the most gorgeous glasses the casino has to offer… they look something like these stunning pink coupe glasses from Fazeek.
The owner of the joint, tight with the talent and entertainers (as long as they get bodies in seats!) the Mobster is the most powerful person in the room. Naturally he wears Aventus Cologne by Creed – strong, bold, but not overbearing, just enough for people to know he’s there, and he’s important.
Creating an atmosphere in his venues is important to the Mobster, which is why he scents his spaces with his favourite tobacco and leather room fragrance.
They just signed the paperwork and said their vows in front of an Elvis impersonator. They’re truly, madly and deeply in love… for now! These two lovers share the fragrance Fidelis, their passion for one another wrapped up in rose, oud, coffee and raspberry.
The newlyweds are on their way back to the hotel – there’s a romantic suite and champagne waiting for them. To really top off the night, they should tip a capful of the Library of Flowers True Vanilla bubble bath into the spa to create a memory that’ll last a lifetime… or maybe just one night.
