Loewe Esencia Eau De Parfum 100ml

Product Information

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.

My bottle of Esencia Loewe is nearly full simply because it's not my vibe. This is no comment on the quality of the fragrance; it's an interesting scent which evolves in an equally interesting manner. Summer follows with a deeper and less crisp green with the warmth of Geranium and very soft floral touches supporting the green pine elephant in the room. The florals warm up the green a bit. Well, to my nose this is a homage to the art of classic chypre perfumery. Light, airy, very complex olfactive profile. Lixeton, Patchouli raw materials together with Oakmoss ones like Evernyl were selected beautifully. The dry down is slightly more powdery, it gives these floral nuances. Lily of the valley raw materials (Magnolan, Liliestralis) are quite important in perfumery, because they give the cleanness and softness, they help to smooth the formulation together with indispensable white musks like Muscone, Ethylene Brassylete, Ambrettolide or Galaxolide, Nitro-Musks. I believe, this is built upon Hedione and clean White Musks together with Oakmoss and Patchouli mentioned before. The opening is really nice, slightly more sharp. Bergamot, Citronellol..beautifully selected naturals supported by Linalool, I believe. Overall, naturals are very nicely blended in this, you can surely feel the lightness, smoothness, natural facets in the smell. But there is something more sharp in the opening, that inherence the chypre qualities, maybe raw materials like Lixeton which gives woody aspects, sharpness, even metallic qualities. Do I like it, yes. This is phenomenal perfumery done really well. Extremely masculine, elegant and classic perfumery that is rather more chypre than fougere, to my nose of course. I am personally emotionally connected with both families, so this perfume speaks to my soul.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.

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 is very masculine in a similar vein to Azzaro PH but it's more refined, less rugged. It's masculinity comes from the fresh green notes, herbs, berries and woods, rather than musky animalic notes, so you can actually wear a fair amount of it and take advantage of its 'powerhouse' nature without feeling that you're cloying the air around you with crotch notes or schmooze vapour. 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. This is not an aventus clone and it also does not imitate mont-blanc's take on Aventus as some here claim. This thing is quite natural smelling in comparison to MB explorer, and it also goes on it's separate way in the dry down, maybe more then a bit.

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.
