Fragrance Notes
Aire Sutileza Elixir
Loewe Aire Sutileza Elixir Eau de Parfum is a clean fragrance made richer, which is a harder thing to pull off than it sounds.
The opening is all brightness. Pear is cool and crisp, more juice than sugar, while bergamot brings a bitter, faintly floral citrus edge and lemon supplies the simple acid sharpness. Three bright materials at once could easily read as soap; what keeps this from doing so is how quickly the flowers come through.
Sambac jasmine is the heart and it is the heavier kind, rich and full with a green bite under the cream. Magnolia sits beside it, lemony and waxy and softer, and the two of them together give the middle a fullness that the citrus alone would never reach. Sandalwood is underneath from early on, smooth and creamy and quietly sweet, and it is what gives the elixir concentration something to hold.
Six materials, moving from cold to warm over the first hour or so. It is a clear structure and an easy one to follow, and the sandalwood is what makes the difference between this and an ordinary clean floral.
An elixir is a richer reading of a lighter original, so expect more weight on the skin and a longer stay than a standard eau de toilette would give, without the fragrance becoming heavy. It suits spring and summer evenings, and daytime too in milder weather. Nuria Cruelles composed it.
Loewe was founded in Madrid in 1846 and describes itself as the second oldest luxury fashion house in the world. The German surname came in 1872, when Enrique Loewe Roessberg bought the Madrid workshop the business grew from. Its perfume arm belongs to the perfumes and cosmetics division of LVMH, and the house has made fragrance since 1972.
