Esencia pour Homme Eau de Parfum
by Loewe
Esencia pour Homme Eau de Parfum by Loewe presents a refined, wood-centric fragrance with an aromatic woody and mossy profile that closely echoes Creed Aventus in DNA, yet with a more mature and less fruity character. The opening features a zesty, citruses-lavender accord, giving way to a subtle earthy and mossy drydown enriched with sandalwood and vetiver. It performs best in autumn and winter, suited for formal or semi-formal settings, and its enduring presence on skin—some report up to 12 hours—makes it ideal for daily wear with reliability. The scent is elegant and intellectual, likely to attract compliments from close proximity when worn at moderate strength. Some users praise its quieter, more refined projection compared to Aventus, likening it to a smooth transition through time and space.
