Jean Lowe Matière

This does indeed lean a touch feminine the rose and oud are beautifully done I think a guy can so pull this off.As guy I enjoy it.A lot of mens fragrances have rose in them. Do not let that put you off. I now have all 8 the Jean lowe's. And I enjoy all of them For about £20 each you just can not go wrong so what if you use a bottle a month it cost total peanuts to replace.Some of you wont know this but they have just brought out a new one in May 2026 there is no note break down and no info online.Jean Lowe Verde Aura Maison Alhambra £29. inspired by LV Cactus Garden.(discontinued) It seems no one knew this was coming out there is no info on here yet.

Maison Alhambra's Jean Lowe Matiere truly stands out as one of their finest creations, especially if you're searching for a rose/oud combination that thrives even in summer heat. The fragrance opens with a beautiful white floral accord that gently persists, leaving a delicate trail of narcissus flower. This soon blossoms into a gorgeous, fresh rose, expertly paired with a resinous, woody accord. While it comfortably leans into feminine territory, the rich resin and oud notes provide a crucial grounding effect, adding a distinct masculine facet that firmly secures its unisex appeal. Performance is outstanding. While the projection is intimate, its longevity is truly remarkable, powering through humid conditions and offering delightful wafts with every movement. This is a wonderfully balanced and long-lasting option for anyone seeking a versatile and sophisticated rose/oud.

#1058 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Well, if this was really an attempt to dupe Louis Vuitton "Matiere" then like Jean Lowe "Azure", it's a clear miss. But it's a great scent nevertheless. No sweetness here at all. That's the main difference. But I love this and it will definitely get worn. I was afraid it would be too floral for me, but it's not. I think both men and women can totally pull this off. I don't think it will be offensive in any setting and will work at the office or on a date. It's almost got a barbershop powder quality to it, which evokes many pleasant memories for me, and you cannot beat the price. I consider this a successful blind buy.

I have had my bottle for at least 3 years and I have the original name with the purple juice. When reading the reviews there is a disconnect because no one has mentioned the clean, soapy/powdery ness that I get with this fragrance. I absolutely love this fragrance but I don't get rose and patchouli, its all about clean and soapy for me. Performance is great at least 8 hours on skin and I get wafts of it with movement which I also love. I have not smelt the LV version but as a stand alone this smells great however, I am reluctant to repurchase since the name change, the liquid colour change and the reviews don't mirror what's in my bottle.

Absolutely love this. I tried a decant and now ordering the full bottle. While others are mentioning rose, I always got a pleasant long lasting Narcissus note. I love wearing this both on western formal and Indian ethnic outfits. Somehow this fragrance feels very grounding as it remains steady the whole day. I would compare the soul of this perfume to those of really good oriental saffron perfumes which just keep on wafting in slow steady manner.
