Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Lots of cedar, rosemary, pink pepper, and vetiver. It also smells like tobacco with leather and a wood note similar to ‘blem’. Very elegant, aimed at an older crowd.
Smells weird. Opens with iris and dries down to a toasted note. Lasts 6-7 hours, but it has a wet laundry scent that I can’t ignore. There are better options in the same line; start with the regular Solo. Try it before buying.
I’ve always been a fan of Loewe (I’m 58). It hurts that the brand has changed since Emilio Valero left. It smells off, like it’s expired (even though it’s from this year). It doesn’t remind me of the great original Solo, and its development is poor. And the price… let’s not even talk about it. I stick with the original and Solo Cedar.
If you like masculine iris, forget it and go for Dior Homme, Givenchy Gentleman EDP, or any flanker. Even a Valentino would suit you better. It’s expensive and mediocre.
At first, you notice the iris, but as it dries down, labdanum takes over and reminds me of the original Eight and Bob, which is my favorite. It doesn’t project much initially and fades within a quarter of an hour. Lasts about 5 hours. Smells good, but the price is outrageous.
Just to clarify, I hate iris. But this is the fragrance with that note that I’ve liked the most. Typical brand quality, very balanced: the iris is noticeable but doesn’t overwhelm or repel non-fans. Good projection and longevity. The only one I’d buy with an ingredient so overhyped by Dior and Givenchy.
Hi, thanks for the samples… For me, it’s not a keeper, so I won’t give more details. My nose only recalls unpleasant things. Always try it first. Best regards.

Very bad. Opens with a repulsive iris scent, like alcoholic anise. Then that sharp smell fades, but it’s still a horror. If you want to smell like you’ve been out in the sun for 8 hours, buy it. At least I only have a sample.
Terrible. It opens with an iris scent that’s repulsive, like alcoholic anise. After a bit, that sharp note fades, but it’s still a horror. If you want to smell like you just had an 8 Ball and a Shadow, buy it. Luckily, I only have a sample.
New Loewe perfume, following the elixir strategy. Peculiar aroma where amber comes through without being intrusive, keeping the base of the original Solo. Gradually, a subtle spice emerges with that orange from the Solo range. Moderate longevity for my skin, less than I expected from an elixir. I’ll have to try it again, but for now, I’m sticking with Solo EDT.
