Aura Loewe Pink Magnolia Loewe

Floral Fruity

Loewe is a Spanish luxury fashion brand specialising in leather, clothes, fragrances and accessories. It was founded a long time ago, back in 1846. Aure Loewe Pink Magnolia is my second experience with this brand, right after Loewe Solo Ella, and I was not keen on that one.

Pink Magnolia consists of a 20% concentration of essential oils. Hmm, quite interesting. I have not been into floral scents lately, especially now during winter, but magnolia has always been a gem. Let’s see.

Only four notes are stated: magnolia, red fruits, musk and sandalwood. I get the fruity side of the perfume together with musky magnolia. The impression is a sweet, sharp, in your face type of smell, extremely floral. What came to my mind right away is the reminiscence to the Penhaligon’s The Favourite – this sweet floral scent of meadow flowers – a mixture of mimosa, violet etc.

This is how Pink Magnolia by Loewe smells. It certainly is not the typical waxy lush magnolia aroma. The scent is simply not me. I would not wear it even if you pay me.

There is a beautiful tropical top that really comes through. It consists of passionfruit and pitahaya. The middle has peony and cotton candy, the base mostly sandalwood and vanilla. The note profile really intrigued me. I was expecting a sweet tropical blast, quite young and free.

However, the scent is actually quite sophisticated. The dry down is sweet, woody and soapy. It is mature and not exactly for hot summer days. I wore it during the summer season; and so far, it did not blow my mind. I will give it more love during the upcoming colder days. Nevertheless, it is fair to say that the performance is pretty good, it lasts a decent number of hours and I could smell it on myself.
