Agua de Loewe Mar de Coral

I received this from Loewe, Spain yesterday. I ordered it online almost a month ago. * this EDT has impressed me so much. I love Davidoff Cool Water for women, but I have been looking for a fragrance that I can use that is similar to it but isn't D&G Light Blue. * I've found a Davidoff Cool Water for Women alternative :) Loewe Mar Del Coral reminds me of Aqua do Gio, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, & Miracle So Magic. * it opens with a sweet and refreshing lemony punch that resembles limoncillo, then Aqua de Loewe Mar de Coral warms into a buttery mixture of orange and lily of the valley, then it finally comes to a beautiful fade out of white musk that smells like Miracle So Magic. * the vanilla notes and amber notes are faint, which is a plus since I don't enjoy either of the two in an aquatic perfume. * I recommend this for fragrance collectors who like citrusy perfumes but prefer the I'm-on-vacay-by-the-sea type of citrusy perfume over the I'm-touring-a-rose-garden-in-France-and-I-adore-Natalie-Portman type of citrusy fragrance ensemble. :) * Apologies to those who don't agree but I basically have come to believe that there are 2 kinds of mainstream citrus based perfumes: Miss Dior & not Miss Dior :D * in order to be classified as a not Miss Dior type, the fragrance should be fun, though. * Loewe's latest is fun, indeed. Thanks for dropping by and thank you to those who might read what I have to share about this new perfume. :)

Citric and fresh. Its a perfect summer fragrance, I love it! Plus the bottle is awesome

Love this. Its freshy, very citrisy and a light, office friendly scent.

Salted citrus sorbet and petals in hand cream. Did not expect this to outshine Agua Drop, which was the equivalent of a perfectly creased white shirt and a grapefruit you trust. But this one, ohhh my, this is seafoam laughter and beachlight, citrus and mineral and milk. One spritz. An effervescence I didn’t realize I’d been craving: yuzu and pomelo, sliced into sunlight, bitter bounce and zest fizzing over skin like a citrus soda made with snowmelt. Cherry tomatoes ripe from the vine hum from a nearby a reed basket. Slightly sweet, slightly green, like the fruit’s translucent flesh catching summer light, flesh and fruit skin just shy of savory. And as it warms, soft cream. Not cream in the lactonic, milky, edible sense, but more a whipped softness. Like neroli chiffon left out to dry on a warm marble step. The citrus lingers (quietly), but what takes over is this lush but breathable orange blossom and lily of the valley interweave. All things innocent and airy, but with a creamy butteriness underneath. It has this stunning skin-sinking texture, like when your body has absorbed the warmth of the sea and you don’t quite notice the breeze anymore. Yet it cools, nonetheless. There’s mint here, not bracing, not toothpaste, just a suggestion of coolness. Exquisitely balanced. It feels like a postcard in scent form. Or ratherc a memory of a photo of a postcard. Vague in a magical way. Breezy, citrusy, floral, but done with such finesse, such restraint, you never feel overwhelmed. Everything whispers in color. Surprisingly emotional, for something so light. A delicate, dreamy watercolor of citrus fruit, salt, and blurred white petals.

7.2/10 This smells VERY similar to Agua Miami Beach. Miami Beach has a citrus fizziness that Mar De Coral doesn't have, especially in the opening 30 minutes. And for that reason, I prefer Miami Beach. Loewe uses an accord in a lot of their fragrances that smells exactly like pencils, and I don't enjoy it. This has it and so does Miami Beach and Solo Atlas. I wanted to like this, but it's kind of forgettable. The most prominent note for me is jasmine. There are so many different citruses in the opening, they become indistinguishable. I would describe this a subtle, daily fragrance for running errands. Not special enough to be a signature scent. If you want a daily signature scent from Loewe, check out Agua Drop!
