Esencia Elixir

Been aiming for a bottle for a while and finally got it. Esencia Elixir is released in 2023 and this Sabina bottle batch code is 01186390 which check fresh says is a 2018 production. Beats me and have no idea, I'll assume check fresh isn't accurate on Loewe codes. anyone else with such experience or knows more I would love to hear your share/opinions. Prior to this Elixir, I already have the lovely strong mossy Edp. Now Esencia Elixir opens lovely aventus like with the citrus and bergamot, slowly settles on skin and it gets smoky with the birch. It's also not so bright but still very bold very loud at close sniffs, seems normal projection and decent silage. 73% alcohol vol and still labeled Edp Pour Homme despite Elixir name. Classy scent but try not to overspray as it can become strong and cloying to some. The sprayer is great to use, lovely and pressured. All if not most Loewe atomizers are pretty great. Also after sometime, maybe the smokiness reminds me of cdnim LE, also has this cedrat Boise smell but it's not mossy like the 2018 Edp. Esencia Elixir has some greens and other notes in it but I don't get leather. This cost $437 for the 100ml here in Singapore and Sabina definitely have a better deal if u can get some discounts and a good shipping rate. After about 5 hours, I feel I still prefer the drydown for the Edp, this Elixir isn't extrait strength, just a name since it's clear on box and bottle is an Edp strength. Also my mancerated Edp seems to last longer cuz it's quite a light skin scent now after 5 hours so longetivity is Abit disappointing. It starts off just so very good and strong but I think at best this is just 8hrs or so. Added on 12/2. The drydown is gorgeous and it has similarities to the drydown of AA.

Loewe's Elixir Essence is a woody, earthy, and aromatic fragrance. This fragrance smells of a forest, with notes of pine and patchouli, and earthy, almost mossy, smoky accords. It's an elegant and formal gentleman's scent. It doesn't require much description because it smells the same from beginning to end. It could be worn in three seasons: spring, autumn, and winter, or in summer for evening outings. I see it as suitable for office work, as a signature scent, in both formal and casual situations. I think it will appeal more to a mature audience than to a younger one. In terms of longevity, it lasts very well, around 12 hours, but its sillage is somewhat discreet, which isn't a bad thing because I suppose elegance doesn't need to be overpowering, although it's not a skin scent either. A very good fragrance from Loewe, like many others they offer. The official price is a bit high, but you can find better deals with wholesalers. It's a fragrance worth trying.

Well, I've finally found a fragrance that I found interesting that actually fits me. I tested this a week ago and I'm in withdrawls😅 I did not really smell many aventus-likes for me to judge it's similarity but if I had to say it's a big No. In comparison to Cedrat Boise Intense - this, yeah, has a similar overall construction but the end result is completely different. This smells like a forest. A forest after rain, foggy, misty, with a spring basin coming from under a cold rock formation with fractaling mosses, firs and lichens all around it. Like a lot of Loewe fragrances (and clothes too tbh), it might appear simple for the first few seconds of contact with your nose (or eyes), but then it hits you with a "whoa" Lesser projecting, lasts through the whole day. 10/10, I will be buying this

I expected a true "Extrait" concentration, but surprisingly the bottle is still labeled Eau de Parfum, so here "Elixir" seems to be more of a name than a concentration. The opening actually surprised me. Instead of an explosion of woods, it starts very soft, almost watery with clean musk. After a few minutes the fir and forest character become much more noticeable. It's comforting rather than dramatic, like walking through a warm Mediterranean forest instead of a cold pine forest. I expected broader projection and a brighter opening, but Loewe clearly went for elegance instead of power. At times I even get Irish Spring soap vibe, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Overall it's smooth, natural, easy to wear and, unlike many modern "Elixirs," doesn't become heavy or syrupy

This is exactly a concentrated Moncler Sunrise Pour Homme. I really like them both for casual/work style scents. Both better than Aventus and more modern. Update: I have been wearing this a few times lately, and it started to remind me on Intense Cedrat Boise more. A little less fruity, and little more woody, maybe on the account of the vetiver here. I was about to pull the trigger and buy a full size bottle, but I stopped...I actually like the playful nature of the Mancera a little more. This is kind of a mix of Intense Cedrat Boise mixed with Hacivat, still lovely, but those other two a little more affordable at discounters. That said, the quality on this one is fantastic, so is the performance, you can't go wrong.
