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.

This is my signature summer scent. Great for Southern Europe lovers of all things Mediterranean. Suits a more olive skin. Is the antithesis or anything mild and meek and English. Incredibly inviting, confident, refreshing, alluring, fresh, clean and sexy. For someone who takes care of their summer appearance.

Un succès en Espagne depuis son lancement en 1985. Le flacon n'a d'ailleurs pas changé depuis cette date. Des aldéhydes, en veux-tu en voilà, pour une composition très sensuelle, ensoleillée et persistante. Belle harmonie entre les notes fruitées de départ et le cœur floral ( jasmin sour bien travaillé).

Please don't believe department stores sellers when they tell you this perfume is discontinued. It is still in production, but you have to put more effort to get it. It is available in most Loewe stores. Or you can search for a vintage bottle, although the new one smells Divine.

I recently fell in love with Aire --- an incredibly addictive thick, bitter, medicinal shot of sunshine. Pungent and smooth and refreshing and contradictory. Like an herbal tincture brewed by monks 1200 years ago that I want to consume in midwinter to dispel foul humors.

it's really a shame not to find more about this fragrance market ... really good, fresh but at the same time romantic. I love it

I’m on the fence about Aire by Loewe: generally, I can say that I like it, but only for very specific moments of the year, when it’s not too cold or too hot, and the stars align in the proper way (or rather, when my body chemistry is right, I suppose) for me to spritz on this grande dame perfume. On the whole, green perfumes aren’t really my thing, and neither are aldehydes, both things that Aire has in spades, but here I enjoy them... I think it could be nostalgia: I tend to associate this scent with my childhood, even though I can’t recall anyone around me who used Aire as her signature perfume. I also really enjoy the soapy element among its top notes, which for some reason I don’t find in perfumes as often I’d like. On the minus side, I have to say there’s something prickly and severe about this scent that I can’t put my finger on, but it makes for an uncomfortable experience when temperatures rise or drop beyond a certain point. Also, in Spain Aire by Loewe is often associated with a certain stereotype of haughty older woman, who mostly belongs to another era and who no longer cares whether she’s liked or not, and this has influenced how I feel about it. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in my mind: sometimes this is the exact state of mind I want to evoke, and that’s when I reach for Aire. I still have a bottle with a little Aire left, and I’m in no hurry to finish it, nor to let it go: to me this is one of those perfumes for occasional personal enjoyment. I would not recommend buying this blind, much less for a gift (which is how this perfume ended up in my collection).

This one is really a chameleon. My impression of the initial spray was yellow flowers with a bit of citrus, which seems to dissipate quickly. I can't get over the number of notes listed in the profile and I seem to find hints of many of them. There are so many facets to this - freshness, woodiness, and I guess greenness - I'm unschooled in green and aldehydes in fragrances. None of the flowers, citrus, or woody notes are over powering but they harmonize and support each other seamlessly. I sense carnation, then maybe some jasmine or lily, it seems to change over time. How can this be earthy, fresh, herby, and a bit powdery, smoky or musky simultaneously without clashing badly? I like the subtlety of this, nicely done. There are so many additional Olivier Cresp creations I can't wait to try.

On a quest again to find a summer perfume???? Surely I am, since very bored of my go for dkny energizing fragrance as well as Davidoff Cool Water for ladies.. Today, I am testing Marjolaine, and this perfume, and putting Marjolaine back in the closet! Aire is back in the liked section, and maybe very maybe it will be loved this summer if it behaves well in the heat of a city of Budapest. As in, does not turn into a hay stag smell for rabbits in a pine forest. One can hope!!!!

That's a beauty. What a shame that I can't find it in my country, have last few drops of it. It's kinda fresh but with warm undertones. Dry down gives an expensive soap smell which I like very much. Important thing about this one - you need to have right chemistry to wear it, otherwise Aire would smell sour and unpleasant (unfortunately on my friend it does smell so). Very intimate fragrance. Olivier Cresp made (another) great job with this one.

Aire Loewe is a rich and complex fragrance. Maybe you will not differentiate each note, but the blend is absolutely beuatiful, fresh and still grounded. Reach for this scent if ypou are looking for a green and sophisticated perfume. It does evoke freedom in a lightly way. It is sutiable for all times and it can match any occasion, it is versatile.

Really lovely powdery green citrus ideal for spring. I can understand the baby wipes comparison, but only when first sprayed. It settles into something much more complex, with the powdery note taking a back seat but still present. The florals open up for me in the dry down. Certainly a more traditional feminine scent. Very fresh and uplifting.

Surprisingly great. Started out as an old-school splash, heavy on the alcohol, like Jean Nate, but dried down on skin to a lovely melody that I can't really describe except very pleasing: fresh and elegant. Just wish this was sold in the U.S.; I could only find a mini online. Maybe I would have better luck at a duty free in Europe?

Aire is a terrific, green and lemony perfume. It has a slightly bitter / confusing note that makes me love it more for its complexity. The basil mixed with the lemon, jasmine, that eventually give way to smoky cedar and oakmoss...creating a sweet but quiet and understated fragrance...I need to get another bottle!

This super fragrance conjures up sunshine and warm evenings under the stars. It is great to use anytime and for any occasion. It puts a smile on your face and a chuckle in your heart.

Powdery florals. Classic and elegant. Can’t pick up in any particular note, feels well blended and balanced. Pretty but not a must have for me.
