Eau de Toilette

Loewe pour Homme Eau de Toilette is a green, woody chypre-fougère that opens with citrus and lavender, made for men and suited to everyday wear from spring through autumn. It opens with lavender, Sicilian mandarin orange, basil and lemon, giving a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, lily of the valley and geranium add a soft floral touch. The base rests on Haitian vetiver, amber and sandalwood, with oakmoss and musk lending a classic chypre feel. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without crowding a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, while winter trails. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters find it masculine and classic.

Loewe para Hombre is a classic fougère for men, where fresh, green citrus and lavender are balanced by spice and earth. The perfume has been discontinued. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are tentative. It reads as a men's fragrance. The top is bright with Calabrian bergamot, French lavender, Sicilian mandarin orange and Sicilian lemon. The heart turns spicy and green with Bourbon geranium, cardamom and Comorian basil. The base settles into a woody, earthy footing of moss, Indian sandalwood, amber and Haitian vetiver. Ermenegildo Zegna Essenza di Zegna and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme have a close profile.
