Founders Jade McAndrew and Jessica Tate both started their careers in the beauty world as makeup artists. They dabbled in a few different things before eventually making their way to fragrance and by 2016, they were working alongside each other at Kleins Perfumery.

Jade was the ‘spreadsheet queen’ behind the scenes of the business handling the ordering, buying and numbers. Jess was more the face of the business; she knew the products, the store, the website and of course, customer service. This powerhouse duo became a match made in fragrant heaven when they decided to go into business together by buying the boutique where they were employed.

Rebranding the store as Lore Perfumery, (because you know, we like to talk and more importantly tell a story!), the girls set out to change the world of perfumery. With a love for exploring new, quirky and innovative brands, Lore also adopts an inclusive, educational and charmingly unique attitude to the old school, sometimes stuffy and haughty taughty world of fine fragrance.

The girls consider themselves pretty lucky to have created such a special space. From walking through the door each morning and being hit with the delicious scent that lingers in the air from years and years of spritzing, and yes, after 5 years this still gives them tingles! To being work wives, the yin to to the other’s yang, the cackles, lunch dates, chats that go for way longer than they should and working on exciting projects together!
