Eau de Toilette

Loewe 7 Eau de Toilette is a fresh, spicy men's fragrance that opens with red apple and pepper and settles into vetiver and Atlas cedar. Red apple brings a fruity crispness at the start, met by the heat of pepper. In the heart, frankincense absolute adds a resinous, smoky tone while Moroccan neroli lightens it slightly. The base of vetiver, musk and Atlas cedar leaves a dry, woody finish. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer trailing. It is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office, with evenings also fitting. Close to half of voters find it masculine. Ginestet Le Boisé and Tom Daxon VSOP have a close profile.
