Better than the recent batches of Aventus

Although the notes announced are very different from those of Creed Aventus or Mancera Cédrat Boisé, there is a great similarity between Loewe Esencia and these two fragrances. Opens with citrus, which lasts the entire life of the scent and joins the sandalwood. This perfume does not have the smoke of certain batches of Aventus. The nuance here is the slight green note that appears and makes the perfume very pleasant. It is a very good perfume, which I prefer to the last batches of Aventus and which has a similar performance. For the price, I definitely choose Loewe Esencia.

Another "cheap" copy of Aventus.

From what appears on the fragrance sheet or the Loewe website, to what it smells like in reality, there is an abyss. No lavender, no moss, no sandalwood, or vetiver. Perhaps there is something of the latter two over there at the bottom, putting a dash of ingenuity .. Yes, it may have a dash of incense, also on this base, but very diluted and insignificant.

We are facing another "gross" clone of "Aventus", of which both proliferate today. It opens with the typical explosion of synthetic Bergamot, nuanced to subtract some acidity with some strange ambroxan-like molecule and some wood / vetiver in the background, as a base.

Compared to the "current Aventus", well, but it totally lacks the nuances of rose, green apple or vanilla that could be found in jars of years ago.

I see it far below, both in quality and in distinction, or creativity, of releases such as "Loewe 7" or its "Anonymous" flanker. With much less elaboration and nuances than these, apart from that we are talking about a copy of other perfumes that have been in the market for some time.

As for the performance, here I think it is going well. It is powerful, especially at the start. Gaudy. I think that much more than the "Aventus" itself and even the unbearable (for my taste) "Club de Nuit Intense", which is the one that has reminded me the most, for that squeaky look. In the cardboard, although it has lost strength, I still smell it 24 hours later.

With no intention of offending, this type of perfume reminds me a little of the typical "redneck" with money (or that it pretends to appear), which seeks to attract attention and be recognized by everyone and arrives with its car full of spoilers tacky, making a ridiculous noise with the engine, while destroying the gearshift absurdly, with the purpose of attracting more attention. Obviously, I do not say that everyone who dazzles this perfume has to be like that, much less. It is a mere personal association.

The more than € 100 that they ask for the 100ml bottle, they have simply stunned me ...

The must have profile

As is repeated ad nauseam and everyone knows, Loewe Esencia is an Aventus Inspiration, and that is why we came to have it. Personally, I am interested in having a quality perfume with the Aventus gene without having to spend 400 dollars. It's just what Esencia offers, with its nuances, but come on, who in the world is going to think "it doesn't have as much pineapple or smokiness as Creeds." They are broadly similar and thats it. It has no declared citrus fruits, curious that I feel it quite citrusy at the beginning of its evolution, leaving after the prominence to lavender and vetiver. It always seemed to me that there is a point of contact between Aventus and Terre d Hermes and I think that in Esencia that contact is greater, due to a vetiver that is the protagonist.
It is a fresh, versatile composition, for daily use and on all occasions. The bottle I have has a discreet performance, but superior to Creed's current batches.
It is a classic profile that every perfumery lover falls into, and falling into Esencia seems to me to be an excellent option.

Love it!!!!

Loewe has done a great job here. Available in 150ml! I use this in summertime and like to overspray myself. Funny how friends always say that i’m on Creed Aventus lol. Where Creed had his period now its time to move on. If you ever visit Tenerife…buy it there at a cheap price, you wont regret it and you will be noticed!!

Smells like Aventus before it got formulated

I received a miniature sample of this perfume, and as a long-time fan of fragrances similar to Aventus from 2016 or earlier, I was excited to try it. This perfume definitely scratches that itch, as it smells very similar to the opening of the original Aventus. Over time, it evolves into a mix of the original Aventus, blending about 50% Creed Aventus with 50% Zara Vibrant Leather. Throughout its duration, the perfume doesn't change much, sticking to the opening notes of these two fragrances, which are excellent.

I found this fragrance to be very enjoyable overall, and as it evolves, it doesn't become soapy or develop the cheap, dirty wood notes that Zara Vibrant Leather can have. Instead, it stands on its own, feeling fresh and castellan. One drawback, however, is the sillage, which is extremely poor. While those around you may not be able to smell it, you'll still be able to smell it on yourself and likely be pleased with it. The perfume lasted a good 8-12 hours on me.

I'm considering trying the Elixir variant of this perfume, and depending on how it compares to the Eau de Parfum, I may end up ordering one of them. Overall, if the price is right, I would definitely recommend this perfume as a must-buy.
