by Loewe
Solo Loewe Ella is a radiant, feminine fruity floral with a clean and elegant character, ideal for spring and summer wear. It opens with a lively blend of apple, pear, and peach, softened by a bright, slightly acidic citrus note that gives it a fresh, almost effervescent quality. The heart centers around a luminous, creamy jasmine with heliotrope and damask rose, layered over a subtle green tea note that adds texture without overshadowing the floral core. The drydown reveals a gentle warmth from amber, virginian cedar, and white woods, producing a smooth, spa-like finish that feels refined and wearable. It stands out for its clarity and balance—neither too sweet nor too sharp—but can feel chemically sharp or “sour” on some skin types due to the initial fruit and citrus burst. While some perceive a faint shampoo or synthetic note early on, it settles into a graceful, subtly ambery drydown that lingers comfortably through the day. It's not overly complex, but it’s consistently admired for its elegance, longevity, and gentle projection that feels polished rather than aggressive. The fragrance has a calming, sophisticated presence, making it ideal for office settings and daytime wear. Some find it memorable and addictive, while others feel it lacks distinction or becomes frustratingly bitter on their skin. Overall, it’s a harmonious and tension-free floral that feels both modern and timeless.
