The note list for the first one just reminded me of that lovely fleurs d’chocolat trio Fresh had back around 2000. Loved the choc-pomegranate-earl grey tea one.
I missed those Fresh scents entirely! Reminds me that it’s been a long time since they did anything new though.
Tras la tormenta en el Jardín Botánico and Un balcón sobre el Paseo del Prado sound lovely!
They do sound nice, and I like all the names. Still, not likely to try them, and they just did a “luxury” quartet last year — seems like a lot of fragrances.
Indeed, it’s been a while since Citron de Vigne, which I was looking forward to greatly but didn’t like it at all. I wore Cucumber Baie for years, going back to when it was called Enact & the only place to buy it in the UK I believe was Liberty.
Are any Loewe perfumes particularly enjoyable? I haven’t yet explored the brand but have seen it around…
The few I have tried were not to my taste, but I have not tried many.
These Sound RADIANT! Loving On Them Already!
What an interesting looking bottle.
I love the name of the line and of the fragrances within.
If only they’re up to the names…
Been in Madrid twice, last time this summer and regarding the Atardecer en los Jardines del Buen Retiro, the first note that would come through my mind would be cypress because of those interestingly shaped cypress trees from el parque de Retiro; but I see it’s missing from the list.
