Horrible
I was expecting a richer take on the esencia edp, which is already great on its own and has very good performance (actually i don’t understand why an elixir needed?).

The first seconds are very similar, but after some minutes the smell turns into a very bad chemical and synthetic smell, a very very cheap scent that reminds of very low budget clothes shop.
It is also nausea inducing because of its density, it’s like a nauseating very low lever designer fragrance on stereoids.

And it’s more expensive than a lot of very high quality niche perfumes. It’s around 230€ for a 100ml bottle.

I wouldn’t wear this even if it was for free, it smells really really annoying, basic, cheap, disturbing, gives me headache.

50/50 chance of either being a cute classic men's perfume or a biohazard
It opened up pretty nicely on my skin. A woody comfy male fragrance. It was pretty delicious and I was enjoying myself for about 40 minutes.

Then my partner came home and wanted to try it as well. And on him? An immediate overload of something vaguely citrusy and super aggressive for no good reason. My partner loved it, I couldn't stand it. But it enveloped our whole apartment, so I didn't really have a choice in the matter. The initial explosion took more than 30 minutes to settle, and ~4 hours to become soft enough to smell pleasant to me. Once the it mellowed out on his skin, it actually became pretty cute, almost like a zesty panettone.

It pretty much disappeared from me by then, and whatever hints still remained would easily get choked out any time my partner walked past me. It also clung to his clothing and stayed strong there for more than ~9 hours. And on a clean sweater straight from the wash too... Ugh.

I was desperate to love it, but alas.

Würzige Eleganz, die Eindruck hinterlässt.
Loewe Esencia Elixir ist ein intensives, warmes Parfum, das sofort auffällt. Schon beim ersten Sprühen spürt man die Tiefe – würzig, holzig, fast geheimnisvoll. Es riecht sehr maskulin, aber nicht aufdringlich. Ich finde, es passt besonders gut in die kühle Jahreszeit oder zum Abend. Die Haltbarkeit ist beeindruckend – ein Spritzer reicht für den ganzen Tag. Es entwickelt sich schön auf der Haut und wird mit der Zeit weicher. Für mich wirkt es edel und kraftvoll zugleich. Wer klassische, luxuriöse Düfte mag, sollte es probieren. Es ist nichts für jeden Tag, aber perfekt für besondere Anlässe. Insgesamt ein markanter Duft mit Charakter.

My ermine made of green and smoke ️️️️
How chance sometimes plays out in life! I was actually looking for fragrances for my dear wife in a perfumery on Lanzarote - and was given good advice by a very friendly, competent young lady. But what on earth made her spray a fragrance on my arm without being asked that I immediately fell in love with? "Ahh, this is the one", I stammered - but she said: "no, this One is for You"! Not only did all the fragrances I had previously tested for my wife suddenly seem banal, even ridiculous: I had never smelled anything so good, dense and coherent in my life! Now, it has to be said that I am a friend of bitter perfumes, patchouli, vetiver, wood, pepper, that kind of thing! - i love Encre Noir, the old Givenchy Gentleman and the new Dior Homme Sport, not forgetting the now untraceable (unless grandpa has passed away and the grandchildren know the value of this drug on Ebay) Rochas Macassar... and now yesterday I found the souls of all these treasures united and preserved in this one fragrance: Esencia Elixir by Loewe.
Loewe is a noble, old company that always uses good ingredients - at least the vintage versions of their "pour homme" fragrance are brilliant! But this one, it's hard to find words! This is a powerful, yes, overpowering elixir, but it doesn't penetrate in any way or even stink (like another, the Elixir for Stinkers). It is simply sublime and full-bodied! It wears like an ermine of smoke and deep green! For me, it's an absolute EXIT perfume - I would never need anything else, because I can't imagine getting bored of wearing this fragrance and making other people happy with it. All the other fragrances are not bad, they can still serve as a change, like drinking corn and caraway during the week and then enjoying the 16-year-old fine single malt whisky on a high holiday.
So green, misty forests, fairy forests, mossy witches' grounds, November and June at the same time - norse, trolls and elves! Even the next day, after a long shower, you can still smell this fragrance on your skin and on your shirt - but without any intrusiveness, just as a trace of something higher, almost sacred.
I look forward to every day when I will walk with this scent and stride in splendor and glory in my ermine of rainforest smoke.

PS Please forgive my childish enthusiasm, I'm actually a very sober person. But this...

The metallic, ambery base with shrill birch-like notes makes this hard to stomach, hard to wear, and hard to justify. Sorry, Loewe.

Thicker than the EDP and much more skewed towards piercing, dry and green mossiness.

One of the worst releases ever by Loewe. Smells like a very low budget annoying designer fragrance on stereoids, for 230€.
