Aire Loewe

I love the green but that very quickly fades on me and what is left is a strange scent that I can't really take. It is reminiscent of Dior's J'adore which is one of my 'can't stands' when I smell it on anybody. I remember being on holiday in Spain as a teenager in the 80s and smelling bottles of what I now know must have been cheap copies of the obviously very popular Aire. Thanks to member Vertigo for giving me a chance to smell this though. UPDATE: After all that and wierdly, this perfume has grown on me! Even though I love the top notes and am not so sure of what remains (though can't tell why from looking at the notes here), something draws me to put this on every day! I think this is a very good quality perfume.

Loewe Aire is my all time favorite fragrance, and the one people literally stop me on the street to comment upon. If you favor green aldehydes, you’ll love this one. This is a gorgeous chypre fragrance in the green/floral category. Chypres are my forever favorite fragrances because of their complexity. They can skew more animalic (with musk or leather undertones) or more floral or more green... but oakmoss and aldehydic notes are always present and are what make a chypre a chypre. This one opens fresh, floral and green ... or does she? Yes, the floral and green are unmistakably there, but the chypre complexity is immediately there as well, bringing with it a note of elegance and sophistication.

Got an old sample and its very gorgeous for me, its powdery and green, the powderyness its very dominant, makes this very special for me, then the combination of the greens and the incense and thye amber its very pretty, in the end i can smell all the citrus notes!!! Its a very pretty perfume very fresh but the powderyness makes it so sophisticated i really loved and i need a bottle for me, i dont get the baby wipes at all like omg, and its not really that soapy. i would use it for those summer dress days its so beautiful.

Looking at the Perfume Pyramid one will assume it is very busy fragrance, when in fact it is just lovely and simple, and all notes are co-working well so this fragrance smells unique. It reminds me of my youth...when my auntie brought back from Spain lots of fragrances and one of them was Aire Loewe. Now I own one small bottle of this fantastic fragrance and when I wish to chill I spray Loewe. It also reminds me of Barcelona...where you can smell it on the streets, in the Spanish air when you pass elegant Spanish woman.

Aire Loewe and Calandre are my two favorite feminine floral-citrus fragrances. Perfectly balanced green-citrus top notes and rose/iris/carnation heart notes. I haven't worn them side-by-side, but they evoke the same scent memories in me, and when I look at the scent pyramids, there is a lot of overlap. If you're a fan of either of these and want to try the other one, reach out to me for a sample or decant.
