Loewe Esencia Eau De Parfum 100ml

Product Information

Loewe have for a long time impressed me with solid quality and reasonable prices. They are really good on aromatic flavors, and this is their best. As for the performance, here I think it is going well. It is powerful, especially at the start. Coarse and squeaky. I think that much more than the "Aventus" itself and even the unbearable (for my taste) "Club de Nuit Intense", which is the one that has reminded me the most, for that squeaky look. In the cardboard, although it has lost strength, I still smell it 24 hours later. My final thoughts are that this thing literally spreads some beautiful elegant smart man waffles around u. I would be really really attracted by this So when we finished our meeting, I had to ask what he was wearing, and he pulled this fragrance out of his bag! I always have decants of my favorite fragrances in my own bag, so immediately pulled out Aventus and made him try it out (he’s not a fragrance enthusiast, so he never actually smelled Aventus before!). He was very pleasantly surprised at how similar they were, but I was also able to really feel the difference between them. Autumn shows up after a while where dry woods and a herbal touch support the pine and fir to signal this fragrant year is nearly over.

I do believe however, that ELPH is a very special kind of green fragrance and I'm very happy that it is still with us. It’s not discontinued. I’ve just literally got home from Tenerife. It’s 351am (UK), and we flew just after 9pm (Canary islands are on the same time line as U.K.), having sprayed this at the airport store! Long lasting and lovely,green minty sophisticated vibe. The final phase keeps the citrus and white flower top notes but switches out the iris and rose for the more resinous notes: amber, styrax, galbanaum and a touch of musk and vetiver. Imagine all the ingredients were kept in containers around this large cauldron brought out to prepare a rich and complex mixture of the many many notes indicated above. Then imagine a cat walked on that shelf and all the containers fell into the cauldron, breaking and mixing up. That's what this fragrance smells like - complete chaos. It isn't a composition, it's a concoction. It's like of Roja's parfum colognes went from their jazz roots and turned punk. It's everything, all at once, altogether. And it is all of that in the best way possible. I've smelt many perfumes - but very few quite as unique yet pleasing as this one - pleasing being the key word. It is not challenging to appreciate or difficult to wear. Even to this day. It is all things to all men - except during the very high summer heat :)... This sits on my shelf as a unique designer along with Narciso Rodriguez For Him - unique versatiles that show that you don't have to be safe like all the blue fragrances out there to be easy to wear... Inspite of the four notes listed here, this still smells like Aventus (the OG or the cologne, don't really know or care)I kept smelling and smelling and this perfume was literally under my nose and i was trying to understand where it came from... i was sure it was from 2 people sitting on another terrace around 10m far from me. Don't get me wrong, this fragrance is a take on Aventus, but it is managing to project a similar scent with different notes that are easy to peak on if you bother. It is darker and not smoky, yet still reminds you of that aventus.

What Loewe did here was to take the concept of Loewe pour homme, strengthen and improve the aromatics and change the base to more chypre (oakmoss and tremoss) and less fougere.Really love this fragrance. I found out about it by successively selecting my favourite notes on the 'Perfumes' tab here, until only one fragrance remained. Fougeres are easily my favorite type of fragrance to wear. This is a problem, simply because there are so many damn good fougeres out there to try. Does Loewe Esencia standout? Hell yes! For the simple reason we stay on the upper end of the stem of the fern; Loewe Esencia is so perfectly green. Then i said... uhm this is not aventus, it smells a bit “mature”... i got it! It’s cool water... or green irish tweed. And waffs coming through my nose every single second.

People here complaining about it not lasting, should really step away from fragrances for more then a month and go softer the next time they use fragrances. They are most probably those ones that smell from 1Km and nobody that far wants to smell them perfumes. An advise for those people would be, stop being that guy and start wearing less fragrance. Anyway, some people might get nose-blind to it, but that does not mean others won't smell it, and if you spray to much, well, choke on it. This fragrance does not strike me as being as fresh and green as other reviewers seem to find it. I get more of an orange, peachy, pink colour from it.I got a test vial of this, applied liberally to one wrist and I was prepared to chalk it up as a "no" based on the tar-smoke-green opening which I didn't like too much, there was a bitterness and acidity that I don't experience in other scents that use the sweeter side of smoky aroma (as with those that invoke incense). I have also heard about severe reformulations..., but this is quite a common problem in the industry nowadays. A little spoiler: I hope the longevity of Esencia would be appropriate, because this was constructed masterfully. The opening has a touch of the loo cleaner/air freshener combo about it. But after a couple of minutes it settles down and the pine and fir notes become history. The result is Loewe-style spanish aromas (wide, juicy, medium strong but lots of flavors), with a refreshening top and a GREAT drydown.
