Earth

It's a strange one - Loewe's Earth. On first spritz, I smell the sharpness of an unripe pear, the sweetness of the violet and mimosa...but truffle? Oh goodness, this is loud and gives what would otherwise be a lovely wild floral a very funky undertow. Like someone singing off-key in a chorus line. As it develops, it doesn't get any better. I don't mind earthy notes (in fact, I celebrate them!), but this truffle just isn't playing ball with the rest of the scent profile. It's very dominant - stale and animalic - like a fox took a pee in a bed of wildflowers about a week ago.... Then again, on complete dry-down, those truffle accords settle onto the skin. Gone is the uric acid, and in its place I get a pleasant, faintly woody smell with a trace of violets after rain. As with other perfumes, I wonder whether it is worth struggling through its "difficult phase" to reach that pleasant skin scent. Update: You know, I thought about this one for a while and decided to give it another shot, and would you know it? I liked it. I mean, I REALLY liked it. Enough to seek out a gently used bottle from another enthusiast, and I don't know what it is - perhaps it has had time to "masticate" as I think they call it, but I'm quite enchanted! The opening notes I'm still not a fan of. It's aldehydic, almost ozonic and sparkly - like sea spray in a wind - but gone are the funky mushroom vibes and staleness of it all. In fact, it's probably the truffle that gives it its earthy undertones, but it is perhaps not as strong as other "earthy" fragrances, which is what throws me somewhat. I get maybe a hint of violet at the top end, but its not sweet or strong. Or even floral. The dry down is like wet grass and wet wood and I rather like that. The sillage is excellent. I move my hands a lot, and every now and then I get a waft of it running over my nasal passages, and it feels soothing. The skin scent is very good. And yes, now that it's had time to settle in its open bottle, I'm really enjoying it.

This fragrance was an unexpected gem! I was planning on buying Loewe Aqua Eau de Toilette. While in Neiman Marcus I sampled many of the other Loewe fragrances that I thought I might like based on the notes. The sales rep told me to try Earth. Just the name turned me off. She insisted it was unique and not to judge it by the name. I gave it a sniff and loved the opening immediately. I couldn’t get enough! I narrowed down all the fragrances to Earth and Aqua. I sprayed one on each arm and walked around the mall and store for 30 mins. When I returned to the counter I smelled each arm. The Aqua was barely noticeable, but Earth had transformed into another unexpected gorgeous scent. I couldn’t stop smelling my arm! I was sold and left with the 3.4oz bottle. Since then I can’t stop spraying it. Walking out the door every AM, a pick-me-up midday. Even before bed (something I never do) just to enjoy the scent while falling asleep. I’m dumbfounded by how much I love this fragrance! It’s so unique, complex, addictive. Do not judge this (or any Loewe) fragrances by the listed notes. Go try it yourself in person! Loewe Earth edp may be my new signature scent! I’ll be placing an order for Loewe Earth Elixir next, to see how the more intense version compares. Well done Loewe! A beautiful and unique scent, far from any of the generic dime-a-dozen scents out there now.

I smelled this perfume on a paper half th year ago and somehow I found it quite unique for myself. So, even after a while I was thinking about this perfume. I just got my tester today and I have been spraying on on myself all day. So, many people blame that there is no highlights of truffles, but actually I think it’s good. If you want truffles, go to elixir version ( which feels more masculine that this one). I can smell mimosa and violet that makes a nice doett. Truffle comes later. I find it extremely pleasant smell (exactly what I have been looking for) and it is perfect for everyday use. Silllage is good too). I don’t have any similar scents in my collection right now, so the 50 ml is already on the way to me, can’t wait to get it. 10/10 ! An update: I keep using it everyday, the only thing that concerns me sometimes is quite masculine drydown. Anyways, despite the fact that I am discovering more niche perfumes, I keep going back to this perfume. P.s I ordered a sample first, then I saw nice price for the perfume and bought it too. Firstly, I tested the sample and it was horrible, didn’t smell like the perfume. I was disappointed, but the perfume smells so much better and nicer. If I would tested only the sample I would never even thought of buying the whole bottle.

I think this is the most yellow fragrance I ever tried, a yellow gradient from light to dark. The opening is light, citrusy and carefree, turns into a bright flowery lemon yellow, and then gets more powdery, like a deeper mustard color that reminds me of the robes monks wear. In the end it settles into a comforting brown, a safe earthy powdery warm scent. There's something there that smells a bit like autumn leaves too, in a very beautiful subtle way. I never had a fragrance that smelled like autumn leaves before, and I had no idea how much I wanted one. I personally adore it, it's one of those fragrances that feel really like proper art

This is a strange one but in a good way In the opening it basically smells like money. like if you take actual cash right out of the ATM and spray Calvin klein downtown (just one spray) on that cash downtown has a similar opening to this with the pear and plum mixture but it also has a creamy smooth gardenia while Earth by Loewe doesn’t I can’t say that i smell a specific floral it smells like a non descript powdery floral to me, its also slightly fresh and sweet, they both have similar smoothness if it makes sense After 4-5 hours the cash smell fades away and i’m left with a very similar drydown to downtown
