Right of the bat im letting you gents know that this one’s a FBW and im adding it to my purchase list.
Loewe smashed it with this one. I tried 7 EDP before and it was unqiue but a bit challenging and not my style. Didn’t expect much from this one so I sprayed without even looking at the note breakdown. 10 mins in im thinking “is this aventus?” Striking similarities but this one is much more simplified with just moss, lavender, vetiver and sandalwood. The moss is not wet and dirty like how it comes off in frags like H24 EDP but more fresher, cleaner and earthier. There is a hint of bergamot freshness in it as well (tho officially not listed) that adds even more freshness. Very well blended and not synthetic to my nose at all.
The performance is great as well. Easy 8 hrs with great projection in the start, then it drops to a foot in about 4 hours and slowly settles by hour 12. Beast mode for me. I can very faintly pick up the smell if i dig my nose even after shower and its been 24 hours. Only ever happened to me once before with scandal absolu.
This one’s a perfect fragrance. Simple, versatile and fairly priced. Easy to wear, gift and find.
I would give it a 9.5/10. I took off 0.5 because its too simple. Maybe a unique note would have made it a perfect 10.
What do you think of this fragrance? Have you tried it before?
