An infallible classic I’ve worn since its launch; no other Loewe men’s fragrance has topped it. I’m not an expert on notes, but I feel the emotions it evokes: it’s pure Mediterranean, like a walk through a sun-drenched garden in May. I feel clean, cheerful, and elegant, with that wonderful perfumed leather base.
An unbeatable classic I’ve worn since its launch; no other Loewe men’s fragrance has surpassed it. I’m not an expert on notes, but I feel the emotions it evokes: it’s pure Mediterranean, like a walk through a sunlit garden in May. I feel clean, cheerful, and elegant, with that wonderful perfumed leather base.
HORRIBLE. One of the worst colognes I’ve ever tried. It smells like a handful of herbs rubbed against skin—an ochre, acidic, dirty green scent, like plants about to rot.
An absolute classic, citrusy, floral, and substantial. Strong and intense without being cloying. It was the king of the 80s and 90s—manly, with a heavy trail and long-lasting. Perfect for mature men with class and confidence. Although it’s a timeless landmark, I’m not sure I’d wear it today, but it’s essential in any collection.
An absolute classic: citrusy, floral, and substantial. Strong and intense without being cloying. It was the king of the 80s and 90s—manly, with a heavy sillage and great staying power. Perfect for mature men with class and confidence. While it’s a timeless milestone, I’m not sure I’d wear it today, but it’s essential in any collection.
It’s a jewel of elegance and magic, though it falls a bit short on longevity for my skin. If you have the right skin chemistry, it’s a huge treat, but it’s unforgiving of individual differences.
Loewe Pour Homme is very well-balanced and fresh, without any dated smell, though the current version is a bit weak on projection. It’s herbal with a Mediterranean touch and perhaps a hint of pepper. Ideal for summer or spring days. It reminds me of a discontinued fragrance called Bowling Green.
Loewe Pour Homme is very well-made and balanced. It’s woody and fresh; although created long ago, it doesn’t smell outdated. The current version is a bit weak in projection but has regular longevity. Herbal aroma with a Mediterranean touch, though undeclared, I think it has pepper. Ideal for day, summer, and spring. It reminds me of Bowling Green, a fragrance known for a while and now discontinued.
I’m a 33-year-old engineer; I wear this with a suit for meetings with older people. They hold back asking what perfume I’m using. It projects strong citrus, like freshly cut plants, progressing to fresh woods. Projection and longevity are moderate. It’s a classic. Around 25 degrees, the vetiver projects a lot, and I notice cardamom. In autumn, I combine it with Calvin Klein Escape to highlight the woody notes. For daytime and formal use. 2017 update: ideal for spring, summer, and early autumn in temperate climates. In summer above 30 degrees, it distorts, and in winter, the woody notes dominate, losing the herbal character. In balance, it takes me back to childhood, running through wet mountains after the rain, climbing wet trees feeling the fresh breeze. Sometimes I notice a hint of pine, but the herbals dominate. In summer, the vetiver can be harassing and heavy, smelling of penetrating sawdust. It’s not as versatile as we’d like; you have to know how to use it.
A Spanish classic that captures the Mediterranean soul: that organic Italian bergamot mixed with rosemary and basil, backed by a vetiver base that makes it aromatic. It’s been around for years; I doubt if it was reformulated but it remains faithful to its style. Projection and longevity are moderate, though in the heat, it shows a lot on my skin. One of my favorites.
I like it. It starts with a citrus-green combo with lemon and basil. Then geranium floral and oakmoss enter, dominating until the end. In the final phase, moss and vetiver. I tried a vintage version and it lasts quite a bit. It feels classic but wouldn’t be out of place today. I see it as versatile for summer, spring, and autumn, with lasting longevity and moderate trail.
Loewe Pour Homme is for lovers of classic fougères; try it if you like Guerlain Vetiver or Acqua di Selva. It starts citrusy, green, and dry. It’s like rubbing a handful of herbs, and for me, that’s a virtue. Refined, elegant, and complex; the green notes are crisp and natural, settling over oakmoss and vetiver that evoke nature after the rain. It owes something to Victor from the 70s, but without being fleeting and better than Paco Rabanne without that creamy tone. That freshness makes it wearable today, ideal for summer with absolute versatility. It demands a shirt or polo. It’s not an olfactory bomb, but an aura fragrance that leaves a trail of glory. Very good longevity and absolutely recommended.
One of my favorites: citrusy, green, and clean.
I have this Spanish beauty, 150ml, amber-colored, I suppose the first formula. From the cap, I detected those rich herbal notes. I was so absorbed inhaling the essence that I forgot the salesperson until she asked if it was a gift; my answer was clear: this Loewe is for me. It opens with intense citrus, bergamot, lemon, and lots of lime. Minutes later, the herbs arrive: sage and rosemary gaining intensity, with touches of basil. The freshness and articulation of the citrus with the herbal notes are the best. Lavanda breaks the balance without overshadowing anything. Vetiver is perfect, taking the lead at the 30-minute mark, alongside sandalwood and a spicy aura. A sweet-and-sour orange note comes through. Green moss matures in the mid-stage. Many compare it to Azzaro 1978, but for me, Loewe has more herbs, while Azzaro is more aniseed and sweet. It’s very masculine.
Revisiting the 2012 review from Jabonero: little more can be added to this masterpiece. It’s curious how, years later, it’s now when I truly enjoy this top-tier scent. It brings back memories of my youth and is, for me, Loewe’s best work for men. It’s pure Mediterranean, like a walk through a garden by the sea on a May morning as the sun starts to warm up. It makes me feel clean, cheerful, and elegant all at once. That perfumed leather base… what a wonder. I can’t distinguish technical notes, but what I feel is magic.
What can you say about this classic alongside Cacharel Pour Homme? It’s a delicious, clean, and crisp aroma. Absolutely recommended. I’m referring to the one with the leather cap, the original. Great perfume, an authentic classic that never fails.
The fragrance world has grown greedy, but this scent stands the test of time and evokes a true gentleman. It awakens the senses with a deep peace of freshly watered fields, thanks to citrus, lavender, and spices. The 90s version is heavier on moss and florals than the current one, both offering incredible depth. It’s a perfect Mediterranean landscape—relaxing and reassuring. Loewe Pour Homme is a well-rounded, fresh work with a pleasant trail and moderate longevity; without a doubt, the house’s best.
The perfume world has grown larger and greedier, flooding the market with noisy fragrances lacking taste. Yet Loewe Pour Homme resists that pressure, an aroma born when a fine scent was the hallmark of a true gentleman. It’s a beautiful, rare fragrance that transports you to freshly watered fields and forests, filling you with peace. Petitgrain, citrus, and lavender open strong, blending with green herbs before amber and oakmoss wrap everything in a warm, bitter atmosphere. The 90s version has more moss and florals than the current one, but both create that perfect Mediterranean landscape where everything is right and you relax. It’s a well-rounded, fresh scent with a pleasant trail; undoubtedly the best from the house.
I remember seeing a bottle at my grandfather’s house. Now, passing by the perfumery, I asked them to let me test it. It’s not a cologne for a twenty-something. Visually, it makes me think of a fragrance accompanied by a flawlessly ironed white shirt. It smells classic, and I confess that after wearing it for a while, it starts to smell outdated to me. The longevity is tremendous for what we’re used to today, it perfectly reaches 10-12 hours.
Loewe Pour Homme is a total synesthesia: the moment I apply it, I see the Parthenon and dream of golden temples. It’s a journey to Olympus where moss mixes with wisdom and citrus with nature. A delight that blends fougère and aromatic notes, sweet yet masculine—a detoxifying sorbet against today’s excess. An experience that mixes scents, visions, and feelings.
According to the RAE, synesthesia is when a sensation affects another sense. I recently tested a Loewe Pour Homme tester bottle that feels like an old version, stored in perfect condition. It’s the squat bottle of all time, no batch code or box, impossible to know the year. The liquid is amber-yellow with a greenish tint. It’s been a look at classicism, a full-blown synesthesia. Upon generously spraying it on my arm, I raised my eyes and saw the Parthenon. Last night I dreamed I was returning to Manderley, today to the Athenian Acropolis. A white light blinded my eyes before marble temples covered in gold. My Acropolis has golden temples, real or not. Loewe Pour Homme has whisked me away to a world where oakmoss blends with Athena’s wisdom; lemon flows through the forests with Artemis; lavender ventures into the underworld with Hermes; lily of the valley enchants with Aphrodite, and above all, the Great Father Zeus complacently watches the ecstatic vapors of his Acropolis flooded with Loewe. A delight that mixes barber fougère with tipsy aromatics. A sweetness that was once masculine and today is as unisex as life. A detox sorbet from so much current sweetness, like the one taken between dishes. My galloping synesthesia, which mixes scents with visions and aromas with feelings, allows me to travel through the earth, space, and time, from a bottled fragrance to the Olympus we all have deep in our hearts. It’s the luck of loving perfumes and letting yourself be carried away.
My God, what Loewe did to this fragrance is enough to declare it a war crime… one of the best in history, reformulated and stripped of all its charm. Gentlemen, better come up with a new fragrance and don’t touch what already works. Look for the previous formulations (round bottle), they’re worth a lot, and don’t be an idiot buying the new formulation blindly (new bottle).
Smells 100% identical to Viking Cologne. I was going to travel, stopped at a duty-free, and they let me test this Loewe Pour Homme with the long square brown bottle and another blue one I can’t remember the name of. As soon as I put it on my clothes and blotting paper, it escaped me: ‘I’ve smelled this somewhere.’ Think… think… bingo! Viking Cologne, which I have in my collection. It’s nothing extraordinary, it’s fresh and good, but like everything from Creed, it’s not worth half of what it costs. However, the Loewe has three times more potency, longevity, and projection. I had the chance to try the old round bottle, and the difference is from earth to sky. Nothing lasts forever, and just like Creed ruined their signature perfumes, what a pity.
The old one is still sold, but now under the name LOEWE Pour Homme Classic. It’s the oval yellow one. Smells like a citrus air freshener with lemon and some floral notes, very disappointing, who wants to smell like a classic air freshener in 2022? I don’t.
Very good fragrance, classic but super versatile. It’s citrusy without being dry, with an aromatic herbal touch. Projection and longevity are moderate. I think every man should try it at least once, especially in Argentina, because the Paco de Canno cologne (for kids) is inspired by this and smells very similar; the first time I tried Loewe, I thought ‘I’ve smelled this before’ and it was Paco, which is a lighter version. I recommend it a lot. I have the new bottle, I don’t know the vintage.
Loewe Pour Homme; a pleasant aroma that, when worn, basically envelops me with a combination of citrus notes, oakmoss, lavender, and vetiver. The fragrance stayed in the round bottle with a synthetic amber-colored leather cap; upon application, it creates a moderate sillage and lasts quite a while on my skin. Greetings.
I’m too lazy to write this, but for the second time in weeks, I’m testing Loewe Pour Homme, my go-to fragrance for over 30 years. Even though I’ve looked for options for fresh or cold weather, nothing convinces me as much for summer as my beloved LPH… I’m going to buy it again, I tell myself. 😩 Now I understand why so many masters hate reformulations. I’m not an expert, but it’s hard for the olfactory memory of youth to fade. Either I have Alzheimer’s in the center of my nose (my age is catching up) or some genius decided that the best fougère for my taste, back in the days of the round bottle with a leather cap, should become a monolithic ode to CITRONELLA. Hard not to associate it with cheap cleaners “with lemon freshness.” Let’s find the positive side, cognoscenti: mosquitoes won’t bother you. A clear-cut crime against good taste, the act perpetrated by Loewe, with the only mitigating circumstance being that they respected the “essence” of Esencia to some extent. “Esencia,” the EDT, still reminds me of my young days, back when, without smelling bad, it seemed like a slightly forced and rough version of a balanced and perfect humid forest, recreated back then by Loewe Pour Homme. Only Eau Sauvage reminds me somewhat of that wonder.
Fougère EDT from 1974, and a good one at that! More classic and old-school, impossible. Even Aramis or Oscar de la Renta seem like a kid trying too hard to party in comparison. Smells like an old-school man? Absolutely, and with pride. Reformulated? Of course. These days, in 2023, even Invictus or CH Man are reformulated to death. Any commercial fragrance older than two years either disappears or gets reformulated downward. That’s just how the capitalist world works, kid. Plus, with a 1974 perfume, due to legal regulations and because Loewe Spain is now part of the French Louis Vuitton group, they’ve even changed the bottle design. The original batches from the seventies were cannons: eight-hour longevity and a heavy sillage. It’s a classic fern formulation: sharp citrus top notes, florals, herbs, woods like macho vetiver and sandalwood, and amber to hold the combo together. Personally, with the market like this, if they didn’t modernize it, I wouldn’t buy it—not even my uncle Paco, a retired trucker tougher than an arapaima. Slightly discounted, tailored to the taste of a mature 21st-century man, vintage but still very enjoyable. For collectors and old-school fans.
I’m lazy about writing reviews, but for the second time in weeks, I’m trying Loewe Pour Homme, my 30-year flagship. Nothing beats its freshness for summer. I’ll buy it again, though I regret the reformulations. Now it smells too much like citronela, like cheap cleaners—a crime against good taste. The only positive is that it repels mosquitoes. The original version was a perfectly balanced, humid forest, something only Eau Sauvage remembers today.
Starts with a bath gel scent—clean but generic and cheap; it’s a crossroads that isn’t bad, but a promise. After five minutes, the tangerine takes over. For me, who’s just testing it out, it’s a total disaster because I hate tangerine scents, so if you like it, go ahead; if not, stay away. Also, it feels terribly constructed, completely disjointed, like comparing the motorcycle in ‘The Great Escape’ to an ’80s phone with a banana taped to it. It’s strange and amorphous, an abortion of what it could have been. Don’t buy it blindly, for sure.
While helping pack for a move to a friend’s house, I accidentally found a bottle at the bottom of a closet, amidst clothes and mothballs. It was from the relatively old batch: short and stout, and in this case, the liquid didn’t look as yellow and transparent as in the internet photos. After requesting permission, I was able to test the fragrance. The first consideration is that Pour Homme was designed for the man of the seventies (I imagine especially targeted at the Spanish who could afford it) and remember that in those times, the model of elegance, manners, ideals, and behavior was quite different from what is stylish today. The second is that the concept of luxury product was also different back then; performance still mattered a lot. As they’ve said, Pour Homme is a fougère with a classic tint and a strong imprint of the old school, period. Testing it is understanding that, just as you should understand that a 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser was an off-roader designed to facilitate field work and/or take you where the water reached with thirst, not to compete with friends at the Automobile Club. I imagine gentlemen (and not-so-gentlemen) around a table, loose ties, cigars in hand, cigarette packs and ashtrays (filled to the brim with ash) occupying spaces between whiskey glasses and empty bottles, all cheerful on the edge of drunkenness, with a competition of perfume or cologne aftertastes in the air where this Pour Homme shouldn’t have been less. Today it’s a bit dated (perhaps quite so) and adapts a little to the times, but it hasn’t lost its form and foundation. Although I consider these types of aromas timeless (more out of nostalgia than strong arguments), if asked if it’s out of fashion, I’d answer that certainly, just as waiting in the hospital waiting room, outside the delivery room, for your firstborn to be born. On the other hand, that’s its plus and it wouldn’t clash at all if a confident gentleman wore it to his partner’s best friend’s baby shower. Recommended, but always thinking about what you’re looking for and not just judging the past from the current perspective or criticizing the present with a black-and-white view.
This morning, at my parents’ house, I found a squat bottle with a leather cap. With the owner’s permission, it’s staying in my collection. The opening is what I liked most, quite a bit; a perfume with reminiscences of Loewe Pour Homme EDP, also a squat bottle. An aroma to enjoy for oneself, I think, since nowadays we’re going downhill without brakes with what they’re releasing. A fragrance from when a man would splash on it to have presence and say ‘I’m here’, feeling like an alpha male for sure, and without smelling like unisex vanilla perfumes etc. For sure, if you prefer to use it today, I recommend wearing it a bit formally to not give the impression of being old-fashioned; a modern outfit and this perfume could go hand in hand just to break the mold. For sure, if you have the chance to get an old bottle, go for it headfirst; the new one, I don’t know if it’s worth it, Loewe lately seems quite expensive for the performance it offers.
Unfortunately, no projection or longevity at all, at least for me. It doesn’t last me even two hours. For the price it’s not worth it. Pity I didn’t know its past glories. My other fougères like Azzaro Homme or Paco Rabanne Homme, not being beasts, have a much more decent performance. That said, what a wonderful aroma, a real lush forest on a sunny day.
Classic fragrance, somewhat affected citrus; at first I felt quite a bit of basil, but it disappeared quickly and strong orange and tangerine appeared. It reminds me of the classic citrus scents of the 80s, it has a good trail for this type of perfume and moderate longevity. In my country, we’re in the middle of winter; I think with a bit more temperature it would perform better.
The classic one but quite a bit cheaper. Still, it remains very clean and exquisite. A lovely classic for gentlemen. It was better in the round bottle (the classic), but if you haven’t heard the classic before, this new one is brutal… amazing.
It’s a great perfume; I don’t know the notes (I haven’t checked above), but it has this ‘green’ sensation throughout the entire life of the fragrance; it really retains and extends the feeling of being soaked in freshly cut grass. Very different from the typical fresh lemon-and-nothing citrus; here you feel vibrant green. I have a friend who hates fragrances, in fact, I try not to wear them heavily around him out of respect, but today he told me he liked it; it’s the first time I’ve heard him say that.
It smells old (I’m 28), smells like knee pain ointment. It’s a super green but exaggerated scent, with sharp citrus notes and a woody base. If you’re under 35, I don’t recommend it. It’s an informal aroma, not for the office or anything like that, unless you’re in sales or something similar.
Yay! I just bought the new Loewe format and what a disappointment. This perfume has always been in my house; my parents used it for summer guests who’d shower and then apply it. I always wore it because I thought it was great, it was never missing from my life, though rarely, always for the well-being memories it gave me. But… that’s where we stand with this version. I’ll use it up (150 ml) and have my peace while they have theirs. What a rip-off, very bad for Loewe. Terrifying, dry basil opening, nothing more; then it moves to a middle where you catch a glimpse of a miracle, but no, it ends in lemon and nothing (well, some vetiver, moss, woods…). I won’t fall for these Loewe releases anymore; I’ve heard a lot about how badly they’re doing it and it’s true. At least from what I know, the disappointment is huge.
As of today, any resemblance is pure fiction. It’s not the same with the new reformulations; that rich scent is now just a memory. A real pity.
For me, the best fragrance, not just from Loewe but from any commercial brand for men. It’s a shame they discontinued it after years of giving the world something authentic and high-quality. Anyway, decisions that make no sense for the consumer. Sadly, I’m saying goodbye to Loewe forever: the rest of the house’s perfumes don’t even come close.
