Loewe Solo Loewe Absoluto ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 14 April 2011 19 Comments

Solo Loewe Absoluto fragrance for men

Loewe has launched Solo Loewe Absoluto, a new fragrance for men. Solo Loewe Absoluto is a flanker to 2004's Solo Loewe, and was inspired by the Sun King, Louis XIV of France.

This magnetic fragrance is born as a response to the needs of today’s modern man who lives surrounded by constant contrasts and is able to find a balance between his work like and his family live, between his responsibilities and his leisure time…

The notes include lavender, neroli, orchid, sandalwood, frankincense, bergamot, tangerine, wormwood, basil, tonka bean, amber and musk.

Loewe Solo Loewe Absoluto is available in 75 and 125 ml Eau de Toilette, and can be found now at First in Fragrance in Germany. (via first-in-fragrance)

    Because Louis XIV was so concerned about balancing his work life and his family life.

      Sigh, the difficulties of the French Aristocracy.

      Yes, love how they so perfectly matched the color of the juice to the color of the “metal”

    The scent sounds rather nice to me. But with the name I thought the inspiration might be more Han Solo. Ha! Get it. Yeah, I know, lame! :P

    Why doesn’t some firm just make a fragrance called “Flanker” and it will be the all purpose fragrance to accompany any fragrance?

      Perhaps the Burning Lab people will do Flanker to L’Anonyme! :-)

        BTW, I meant Lab on Fire rather than Burning Lab. (I’ll never be able to keep THAT straight!)

    I just love all those typos ;) That ad copy is hilarious. But, I do love that bottle, so sleek and modern.

    Despite the hilarious adcopy , which I first knew of today, I quite like the fragance. It´s very similar to the original Solo with a touch of lavender and much more persistent on th skin. The SA told me it has the concentration of an edp but Loewe were afraid of men´s reaction and decided to classify it as edt. I might buy it but for the winter

    Loved Solo so looking forward to smelling this one – if I can find it anywhere here in Sydney, that is.

    I am hopeful for this one, the notes sound interesting for a modern masculine. At least it’s not Chanel Bleu…..
