Solo Atlas

Solo Atlas by Loewe is a floral, aromatic and amber fragrance. It has a floral, citrus and green opening, where neroli is the main note, which is accompanied by other white floral notes, perhaps gardenia or peony as stated in Fragrantica. Also from the opening and until the drying phase you can perceive the DNA of the Solo line, with the notes of mandarin and amber, but in this version they are not the main accords, since as I mentioned here the neroli flower shines by itself. This is one of the freshest versions of the Solo line, almost entirely for daytime use, but the amber base that it inherits from the original Solo could give it evening or nighttime use in summer. Mainly for casual use, outings with friends, school or office work. Its longevity has been good, with me reaching a little over 8 hrs. without problem and it is also noticeable during the first one. Solo Atlas is a unisex fragrance, I think it could be worn by men and women, because it is in the style of classic neroli colognes, but here with the DNA of Solo by Loewe. I like its aroma, so for lovers of fresh neroli-based fragrances it is a good recommendation, for those who are not, try it first.

Oh, and here is a precious nectar! I am speechless for this delicious hidden gem... A rather beautiful though common opening could mislead you, but be patient and wait, and behold the curtain opens and here is Néroli letting the protagonists of this masterpiece dance be incense and white flowers. You will not forget them easily. And they will never leave you. And for hours they will come back to visit you with a lucid vivacity that I have rarely encountered. And never forgotten. Hopelessly in love! I think it's wrong to position it as a masculine fragrance, I'd say unisex and perhaps even more feminine, women try it, it's really sensual... Nuclear duration and discreet projection, I'd say a perfect combination. A masterpiece on my skin.

In my oppinion every man should have a clean, bright, néroli fragrance - perfect for hot weather and for office wear. This one is not very unique, but what makes it special is the longevity. These type of summer, clean, néroli fragrances usualy don't last very long, but this one lasts 7-12 hours easily. Loewe did a great job here. Edit: I see how the salt and néroli combo could come abit weird for somebody. It feels almost like you are washing something with soap in the sea water. But I think it would be great for hanging around the beach bar wearing a crisp clean white linen shirt and feeling the salty breeze.

It was one of my impulsive purchases and I don't regret it. I loved it from the first sniff. To my nose, the most dominant note here is definitely neroli. It's like a more bitter version of Neroli Portofino. Smells more expensive than it is. I'd say that the longevity is pretty damn good and the sillage is fine for about 1h, then it's a bit weak. But I really appreciate it that this fragrance smells divine throughout its lifecycle, it never gets dull or generic. The drydown is even more bitter than the opening. Good deal for sure.

Amazing neroli, one of the best, and most unique. This is not sweet or creamy, instead it's bitter and oily. Smelled up-close, it is backed by olibanum, which gives depth and a slightly incensy feel, and some aromatic quality ( think of a basket of herbs dried by the sun ). The sillage develops a softer aura, and loses that herbal and incensy feel, and feels like something closer to a regular neroli scent. Solo Atlas makes me think of the Mediterranean hinterland, an everlasting sunset, a white shirt and brown hat ... A total gem.
