Loewe 7 Anonimo by Loewe

Is it my nose or a fuzzy memory, but this smells like Ganymede. If so, I need that bottle now (I’ve used a decant for a while); if not, even better, because the other one was amazing. It has an incense opening but stays fresh, evoking that mineral vibe of Ganymede. It should be heavier in notes, but it’s the opposite. The dry down is addictive immediately. Then a light, perceptible suede blends in, keeping the fragrance going until the end with vetiver. I barely detect anything else. In short: for cold weather, fresh in its own way, without density. Markedly masculine, a Swiss Army knife. Wear it whenever you want; it doesn’t clash. In heat, for real, it would suffocate you. Performance is correct, not a projector, lasts over 4 hours before you can’t smell it. Price is more than fair. Loewe almost never fails, well-deserved.

I tried this a couple of days ago, and let me tell you, of the 7 line, this formula is the weakest. In the opening, you feel the aromatic notes of pink pepper and vetiver; over time, the incense and sandalwood compete, but it’s a good combination that helps each other, though not always. I think it’s a totally aromatic perfume. The leather is soft, suede-like, elegant, but don’t expect raw, heavy leather like a Gucci Absolut; adding absinthe makes it totally autumnal. I can’t see myself wearing it in summer or hot days; it’s for cloudy days, rain, or no more than 72°F (22°C). Weak longevity, about 5-7 hours, so only for fresh or cold climates. Low projection: 1 hour, that’s its limit.

What can I say that hasn’t been said (I think they already said it, haha)? Just enjoy some of the few commercial gems left. I also tried the old version; I don’t find big differences. Maybe to my nose the incense note differs, but we’re talking about negligible percentages. The performance is beautiful, longevity above average, maybe 8 or 9 hours. Projection is amazing for the first 3 hours, dropping very slowly to close in a bubble about 2 meters wide for another 5 hours. Then skin-scent with a sublime aroma. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 10/10, Projection: 8/10, Sillage: 7/10, Value: 8/10, Blind buy: 6/10, Versatility: 4/10. Season: temperate climates and could work in warm weather (using less). Night outings and not-too-hot afternoons.

I read many reviews criticizing the reformulation. In my opinion, after trying the original and this new formula, it’s the only reformulation for the better I’ve found so far in any perfume. It makes it more versatile and attractive. The original had a heavy incense that was even annoying a while after spraying, but now it has become my signature fragrance. An ambered aroma, with a pleasant incense and a subtle, elegant leather. Totally recommended.

After using it for the third time, I can rate it. The first two times I noticed little presence, as if the aroma was contained, but very rich. With oxygenation, things changed and the magic happened. It’s true it’s not a projector, but how much elegance is in it. Opening in pink pepper and incense, which then turns to amber and woods with a hint of freshly sharpened pencil mine. It’s very special and not mainstream, making it unique and worthy of compliments like few others. Fragrance for autumn and winter days. Deserves to be worn elegantly to match it, as I don’t see it as casual or sport. This smells like power, a resolved person, a paid mortgage… Great for day/night/evening. Perfect for office and formal occasions. Longevity 8/10, Projection 7/10, Scent 9/10, GLOBAL 8/10, Batch 01/2022.

The first impression of Anónimo, with its incense opening, is like stepping into an ancient mystery. It’s a delicate incense that evokes the hidden. For those seeking something that lasts, its longevity is notable: it stays strong on the skin for 8 hours and even longer on clothes, wrapping you in elegance. Ideal for cold climates, day or night; I see it more for formal situations, but it depends on each person. I don’t recommend buying blind. For me, this perfume is a reminder that, like in a good story, what’s fascinating isn’t the known, but the unknown; not the answer, but the question.

What more can I say about this perfume that hasn’t already been said? Sublime and unmistakable. The incense Loewe handles is as beautiful and celestial as being inside a cathedral. Both the classic 7 and 7 Anónimo are excellent: one is dry and slightly fruity, while the other is smoky with a sweet touch, though the incense is very prominent in both.

Simple review: I bought the fragrance because the scent captivated me; it’s quite different, with clear oriental influences and that mysterious incense, simply exquisite and refined. It’s my first Loewe fragrance; I’ve tried almost the whole line, but I had to take this bottle. The scent is magnificent. It’s exquisite if you’re looking for something elegant and different; here’s a good option. It’s not as heavy as I thought; it’s at a borderline point. It’s not a blind buy, because although the scent is good, it’s not for everyone. The price seems reasonable; I haven’t found another fragrance of this quality and aroma. The only downside is the performance, which I know is better in the large bottle. Edit: I’ve been using it more and realized that, although it’s from 2023, it has good performance. It lasted from night to morning, and the whole day it stayed impregnated with good projection.

My version is the black bottle with the small 7. I like it a lot and I think it handles the 6/7 hours well. Since I haven’t tried the other, I imagine it would carry more incense; in this case, I notice a well-balanced incense and leather. I like it because it takes me on an olfactory walk to the souk of Granada, with leather shops and burning incense sticks nearby.

It’s an elegant, delicious jewel, completely divorced from current trends. I have a 2021 batch and don’t know about the black bottle version. Incense dominates the entire evolution with a woody touch; I didn’t detect any leather. While the incense is very present, it’s not invasive: it’s creamy, smoky, and easy to wear. It’s versatile and elegant; this Loewe makes me feel different. The projection and longevity are modest, about 5 or 6 hours, a bit weak, but I have no regrets—it’s a great choice.

I had the cylindrical bottle, and it was a top in scent and value; with three sprays, it lasted 8 hours, and I took over a year (100ml) to finish it. Definitely worth considering for that characteristic incense. If you get the chance, don’t hesitate. At least the cylindrical one was different from the rest of the Loewe 7 line, pleasant if you don’t over-spray.

Just acquired. Old format, black bottle but with a small 7. Not the oldest format. Batch 2019-01-09. I think it was reformulated in this format already… very close-to-the-skin scent. Smells like incense and leather… perfect for cold climates. I paid little thanks to a promotion, but in my opinion… if I had to pay the regular store price… it’s not worth it.

Loewe has the best incense I’ve heard on the market, and in this, their darkest, most winter-leaning flanker, they explode it to the max with that pepper blend. Nothing invasive and very cozy, one of my winter favorites.

Hi everyone! I have the previous bottle version, and it’s a real bomb! It’s not an easy scent, but tremendously spectacular. WARNING on the sprays! It can become very overwhelming if you overdo it. Should I recommend it? An emphatic yes! But testing before is fundamental. Cheers community.

This smells VERY good. Much better than the original Loewe 7. I clearly sense the clove, and it seems to have good potency. Maybe it’s one of Loewe’s best alongside Solo Mercurio. I get a vibe from Azzaro Visit, but more potent.
