Best Sublimity by Lore Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Perfumer: Daniel Pescio

With Chameleon Zoologist continue the theme of tropical habitats full of heavenly exotic flowers. In this perfume you can experience them as a little creature with independently mobile eyes traveling in the thick lush canopies past plumeria blossom, ylang-ylang and other exotic blooms of the island of Madagascar. There are further fragrant hints as to the geographical location of the plot: accords of sea breeze, coconut, mango as well as the notes of vanilla and vetiver.

So sway on a branch of ylang-ylang with Chameleon while being caressed by a spicy vanilla breeze from the Indian ocean.

Golden Hour, January 2016, Sydney

The surf crashes against the sandstone rocks. Your skin glows in the warm sun underneath a blazing Australian sky. As you climb out of the water, a gentle breeze blows through the nearby jasmine and frangipani trees, mixing with the subtle scent of sea, salt and rock.

Take the moment to soak it all up, and dive down under with this evocative fragrance.

This gourmand-tinged tropical says “hello!” with a fruity-sweet kick-off. Bergamot, coconut and tonka bean set you in the sunshine, before a gently-enveloping tuberose suggests a South Pacific escape. Jasmine and ylang-ylang harmonise, while an emphatic praline accord sugarcoats the experience.

In Inca mythology, “Ukhu Pacha” (ookoo paka) means the place of intuition, dreams, and the subconscious — a total letting go! This eau de parfum is an invitation to join the circle, dance and celebrate together to the rhythm of tamboradas (drums).

A sweet amber, early 1990’s style, with focus on patchouli and sensual ylang-ylang.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 301 if you like generous feminine amber formulas from the 90’s and sweet sandalwood theme from the same era.

Inspired by the mythical nectar of the gods, Ambrosia opens with the sweet, delicate notes of plumeria and mango, layered with the lush richness of peach, lychee, and coconut. The heart reveals the creamy depth of heliotrope, musk, and guava, while wafts of French orris, Mysore and Sri Lankan sandalwood, Indian tuberose and vintage Ethiopian civet evoke a divine atmosphere—capturing the essence of heavenly indulgence.

Perfumer: Chris Bartlett.

The Elephant’s formula has a fresh air nuance and violet leaves in the opening. The heart layer is sandalwood highlighted with ambery kohinool material and the base has accords of chocolate and coconut milk, both used to enhance effect of sandalwood rather than turn fragrance into a gourmand.

Fun fact: Elephant was originally meant to be a spicy chai and sandalwood fragrance to represent India. The sandalwood idea stayed, but the idea of elephants in their habitation led to the green, fresh and leafy top instead.

An Eau de Parfum with floral amber notes, Mulberry Fig, is a warm creamy scent combined with bittersweet, green, and powdery orris notes to an incredible effect.

Created by the in-house perfumery team at 89 Jermyn Street.
Inspired by St James's Park, a quick promenade away from our Jermyn Street shop, one of London’s oldest Royal Parks, surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks and lush greenery.
Creamy sweet and bitter green aromas encompass the shoreline of the blissful lake towered by an abundance of fig trees, immense in scale with elongated deciduous leaves flaunting their architectural foliage, believed to be the largest in Britain.

Mulberry Fig is a scent that evokes a floral amber fragrance combining the soft powdery character of orris with hints of fruit and spice. The perfume opens with a sparkle of fig and cardamom supported from the heart with fragrant green tones of vetiver and cypress. Amyris, cedarwood and sandalwood emphasise the overall woody character that permeates through the perfume.

Warm, spicy and friendly, this extrait summons the good and protects you from the bad. A nutty haze of coconut a-swirl with cardamom, walnut and nutmeg soon deepens with the plush lushness of jasmine and iris. Fig, richly sweet and vegetal, adds contrast, while sandalwood provides cozy, just-out-of-focus grounding that is mellow and milky.

Is there a vice as nice as summer? All rise for hot nights drinking pina coladas on faraway beaches. With notes of fresh coconut water, juicy pineapple, and creamy sandalwood, Rise delivers endless summer, even in the depths of winter.

Bare skin gleaming with sun lotion, the sun lifting a gentle blend of tropical frangipani and milky sandalwood towards appreciative noses. Buttery and beautiful.
