Totally agree with vitodito. It has a very green touch that doesn’t convince me for daily wear. My olfactory memory takes me to something like cactus or water lily. As a creation, I find it challenging, which is why I also consider it niche. Good work, though it’s not for me.
Tested the other day at El Corte Inglés and it was disappointing. It has nothing masculine about it; the opening is very strong with a floral scent that fades over time. I didn’t like it at all; it’s one of the worst perfumes I’ve smelled in a long time. It lacks both feet and a head—I don’t know if it’s for men or women, floral or citrus; it’s a mix that, in my opinion, just doesn’t smell good. That said, it does have performance, which is the only good thing. Luckily, I didn’t buy it blind, as I was about to grab it on sale before it hit the pharmacies. I found Agua Drop much more interesting; that one is definitely worth at least trying.
Two things I emphasize after trying it: 1. The ‘for men’ is redundant, and 2. It’s a niche perfume. I understand gender marketing, but this doesn’t seem like either man or woman. It’s not a typical designer; it’s an artistic composition. It doesn’t smell like bergamot, but very green, like a crassula or palm plant with an aromatic base. It reminds me of Loewe’s candles with lots of oregano. It’s a distinct, particular smell, similar to Paula’s Ibiza in concept. At times it smells like Mediterranean summer air, herbs from rocky landscapes like Costa Brava or Menorca (not the beach). Oregano, juniper… I wouldn’t buy a bottle; it’s not sexy, formal, elegant, or playful; maybe as an ambiance or candle, but it’s not something I want to smell on the street. Still, very good work.
Tried it yesterday at El Corte Inglés and I was disappointed: nothing of the masculine, a brutal floral opening that fades quickly. I didn’t like it at all; it’s one of the worst I’ve heard in a long time. No feet, no head; I don’t know if it’s for men or women, floral or citrus; it’s a mix that smells bad to me. The only good thing is that it lasts. Thank God I didn’t buy it blindly; I almost grabbed it on sale before it hit stores. In contrast, Agua Drop seemed much more interesting and is definitely worth trying.
For those who liked Loewe’s classics, the latest launches are strange. Solo Vulcan is something rare: neither masculine nor feminine, neither floral nor aromatic, neither citrus nor sweet. Personally, I didn’t like it. Although they aren’t similar, I prefer Mercurio. I understand that reading reviews to confirm or discard a purchase can complicate things. As always, the best is to try it on skin at a Druni or El Corte Inglés. Don’t let it happen to you like it did to me: Solo Atlas smells wonderful dry, but on my skin it has a weird incense accord that doesn’t fit. Now, if anyone from Loewe reads this: 1. Mercurio, Atlas, and Vulcan are wonderful, but they shouldn’t be called ‘Solo’; the line is totally different and should have its own line. 2. The new rectangular bottles with little colors are beautiful and visually charming, but if you raise the prices, let each line have its own packaging. 3. Speaking of price, you’ve lost your marbles completely. 4. It would be great to have lines with more affordable prices and mass appeal, as Solo Loewe and 7 always were. And if you want to innovate in the niche, launch a private line with aromas like the latest, different packaging, and there you can justify the price.
Sublime. After trying it several times in-store and wanting it, I was gifted it and I can’t be happier, I love it! Original and unique scent, with an air of Solo Atlas at the start and a pinch of Paula’s Ibiza DNA, but it takes its own path: it’s more resinous, amber in the heart, aromatic, and less floral. Its labdanum (that Spanish rockrose accord the brand advertises), along with lavender and soft rosemary, plus some undeclared note, gives this peculiar smell. Whether it’s marketing or not, I recommend trying it, better on skin. It would be categorized as a modern, advanced unisex fougère. It distances itself from the Solo line and could be an independent fragrance. I don’t consider it especially challenging; it’s flavorful and pleasant, sometimes sweet/gritty, sometimes herbal and spicy, with great evolution. A pleasure to use for moments of distinction and originality, very attractive and sensual. Nothing of excessive maturity or unpleasant vintage. In my opinion, there are other Loewe fragrances like 7 Anónimo that are more polarizing and I don’t like, but they have fans. Despite the criticism, its longevity is acceptable (6-7 hours), good projection for the first two hours, then moderate, with a nice slow dry-down and a good trail for the first hour and a half. Perfectly unisex. It probably shines in spring and autumn, though this summer 2024 in hot nights I got a lot of mileage out of it. Regarding the price, once it hits mass-market perfumeries at 60€ for 50ml, I don’t understand the controversy regarding its quality and performance. No designer brand could hold that quality/price ratio. Once distributed like the rest of Loewe perfumes, it sits at a mid-to-high designer price, well below random niche. Good luck if you’re trying to find others of this quality. I can understand criticism from those expecting something else, but I think Loewe took the consequences of releasing something totally off the mainstream. In my opinion, it’s a very good decision; after all, for men they already have great fragrances like the 7 or Essences lines, both new and classic, plus some from Solo. This Solo Vulcan stands perfectly as a different perfume that some will love a lot and others won’t, so that’s very good. A caprice perfume, certainly, but a 10/10. [Just as Adelante Mariami commented, the concept ‘vulcan’ appeals less to a volcano smell, but rather to an allegory of behavior, explosion, and olfactory impact, whether this is plausible or not].

I don’t know the original because it hasn’t reached my country yet; I’m from Argentina, but I bought a similar one at Holmyy Parfums. When I received the sample, I went crazy, so I ordered it right away. I love the scent; I can’t compare it to anything, it’s something I’ve never heard before. The best part: it lasts over 9 hours on my skin.
To be brief: it’s 75% Loewe Atlas and 25% Paula’s Ibiza. For me, neither good nor bad; it depends on taste. It’s not worth the price. Since 7 Cobalt, Loewe hasn’t released anything noteworthy and just keeps raising prices. Next.
If you’re looking for a collector’s scent, Loewe’s Solo Vulcan is a disappointment: expensive, repetitive, and soulless, mixing smells you already know. For everyone else, it’s a decent commercial fragrance, almost unisex with a masculine touch, perfect for summer and very versatile. If you like Paula’s Ibiza and Solo Atlas, this smells like Abascal in a skinny suit. If you catch it on sale for under 60 euros, go for it; it smells glorious. Perfect for vacation afternoons: charming, no nonsense, and no excess ambroxan. Though for summer I could ask for nothing more, it doesn’t last long: at best 5 hours, and by hour 2 it’s already fading. People smoke thyme with this and say incredible things about the longevity.
I own Atlas and Paula’s Ibiza, and this belongs to that family of scents I love. I use only Atlas for night outings in mild weather; it’s elegant and unique, neither fully masculine nor feminine, less fresh and versatile than Paula’s Ibiza, but I like its dry down with earthy touches, like dust raised by the wind in the heat. Its longevity is modest, around 6 hours. Overall, the composition places it in the niche category. I imagine Loewe wants to position itself like LV, since they are sisters under LVMH, and those costs are designer-level maximum; in Mexico, 100 ml cost 4,950 pesos (245 euros), already approaching Armani Privé, Hermès, or LV. I recommend it as an indulgence if you’re looking for a deal or if you get a kit gifted to you at the store.
I already own Atlas and Paula’s Ibiza, so this clearly fits that family, and I love it. I use Solo Atlas more for going out at night in mild weather; it’s elegant and unique, neither 100% masculine nor feminine. It’s not as fresh and versatile as Paula’s Ibiza, but I really like how it dries down, giving earthy touches like dust rising in the wind during hot days, along with that floral opening. The longevity on me is modest, around six hours. Overall, the whole composition places it in the niche category. I imagine Loewe’s strategy is to position themselves like LV, since they’re sisters under LVMH, because those price tags are designer-level high. In Mexico, 100ml cost me 4,950 pesos, which is about 245 euros, nearing Armani Privé, Hermès, or LV levels. I recommend buying it as a treat, looking for a deal or hoping a store gives you a kit.
Summer throws me off, and I use it more in the late afternoon. At first, it smells floral with cinnamon, spicy, coconut, and bitter orange peel; very warm. As it dries down, it becomes a white floral with a predominance of neroli, much fresher than at the start. Its downside is the projection and short longevity: the scent bursts in waves for up to 4 hours, and from the third hour on, it’s just skin scent. In my case, it barely projects. It reminds me a lot of Loewe Atlas, as others say.
Loewe only has two jewels: Paula’s and Vulcan.
I detect a bit of musk even though it’s not listed in the notes; maybe I’m wrong, but it’s there. It’s a super simple scent, nothing complex, and everyone will like it. The opening is a disaster—it smells weird, so don’t trust your first impression. After five minutes, it transforms completely, revealing vetiver, orange blossom, and lavender, resulting in a rich fragrance. What I don’t understand is the price; this isn’t niche, and the cost is out of place. I don’t get Loewe’s strategy; maybe they’re using a snob effect like Mercedes or BMW. The products aren’t bad, but they don’t justify the price. Gentlemen of Loewe, this is bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. People aren’t stupid and can tell the difference between exclusive and not-so-exclusive. You’re shooting yourselves in the foot with these prices. It’s a pretty perfume, but it doesn’t cost what it should.
I detect a bit of musk even though it’s not listed in the notes. I might be wrong, but I think that’s where it is. A very simple scent, nothing complex. Suitable for all noses. The opening is awful, it smells like something weird. Don’t trust your first impression. After about 5 minutes, it changes completely and the vetiver, bergamot, and lavender appear, leaving a very rich fragrance. What I don’t see as logical is the price. This isn’t niche and the price is out of place. I don’t know what strategy Loewe is following, maybe the snob effect, like Mercedes, BMW, or Rolex, which are products that aren’t bad but aren’t worth what they cost. Gentlemen of Loewe, this is bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. People aren’t stupid and know how to distinguish between something truly exclusive and what isn’t. You’re shooting yourself in the foot with these prices. A nice perfume, period, but it’s not worth the cost.
Looking for my previous comment on this scent… but in a nutshell, I use it (I’m a woman) and it’s fantastic: smells super soapy, fresh, with a woody touch and very clean. It’s 100% unisex, with an amazing vetiver that’s easy to wear (the Rabanne one, for example, gives me the creeps). Maybe for many men, compared to the Solo EDP, it’s a bit of a dud. The point is, I’m back to tell you what product from my daily routine it reminds me of, and that’s why I love it so much: Lush Big Shampoo. But just as it is <3. I really love it. In my 7-8 hour workday, it projects well. That's what living in the south, by the Mediterranean, is all about :p
The opening is a white floral like neroli, then it shifts into a plain herbal scent.
Like Atlas but worse: they took away that incensey base, the playfulness of the neroli and orange blossom, and that loud opening with the tangerine, replacing it with a soapy smell that barely lasts five hours. One smelled like spring, this one just… something you already know.
In my opinion, it’s a spectacular floral for everyday wear and work, and why not, to charm a colleague you like or for a casual date. The opening is slightly herbal, but after 10 minutes the herbal notes fade, leaving behind a very rich floral scent. Lasts 5 to 6 hours (normal for an outing or workday), with moderate but rich projection and sillage. Don’t buy it blindly; stop hating it—everyone has their tastes, and every perfume has its charm. I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10.
I think it’s a spectacular floral perfume for everyday wear and work, and why not to charm a girlfriend you like or on a casual date. The opening is slightly herbal, but after ten minutes, the herbal notes fade, leaving that very rich floral scent. Longevity is five to six hours, normal for an outing or workday, while the trail and projection are moderate but very rich. Not a blind buy. Enough with the hate; everyone has their tastes, and every perfume has its charm. I give it an 8.5 out of 10.
I think it’s a good perfume, but I wouldn’t classify it as a Fougère—at least not in the way I imagine that term. It’s a floral I’d hesitate to give my wife, but if I did, it would be perfect for her to wear on summer days.
It’s a spicy perfume, very different from mainstream commercial scents and those cloying sweet trends in men’s fragrances. It has few notes, but each one stands out at every stage, from the initial splash to the dry down. Don’t buy this blind.
