I wholeheartedly agree - though he spent most of his life in Switzerland. My favourite perfumer. Check out Patio Perfumes and Carner Barcelona if you don't already know these houses.
going to pick the up, thanks for the great review. Another European (scented moments) reviewer bought my attention to this brand. Definitely have to check out more. I know you reviewed the rasasi but get your nose on Montale red vetiver for a beast mode TDH.
I was just at Sephora in Portugal where I was having a whiff of at least 10 different Loewe colognes. The "problem" became, they all smell amazing in their own right. Now, I need to narrow it down based on my interests. All of the scents I smelled came across very natural! I can see why royalty was interested in these. I can tell it's quality!
Just want to say thanks. Your review closed the deal and this scent is fantastic. Nothing new but man it is definitely up there with BDC and YSL. Masculine too!
Awesome video! youve single-handedly sold this to me with a youtube review vid lol. going to Barcelona this autumn, guess ill pick up a bottle while buying a bag for my wife ;) btw, would love to have a couple of recommendations from you for office-friendly EDTs for men (around 30 y/o) as you are really down-to-earth with preferences close to mine. cheers from japan!
It's great stuff, and thank you! There are so many office-safe fragrances. Most are pretty generic-smelling but I'll give you three interesting ones: Prada L'Homme Carolina Herrera 212 Men Chanel Allure Homme Sport Que disfrutes tu viaje a españa !
Absolutely!!! I love the combination of the pepper and smoky incense. There is actually a review of this fragrance on my channel - one of my earlier reviews. If you enjoy smoky and mysterious incense, I recommend trying Santal des Indes by Amouroud.
Watched this while I wait for my sample to arrive. Hated the og 7 (too much incense), liked Anonimo but it did not perform on me. Loved Solo EDT but not enough power for me either. Maybe this will be the one I get a bottle of! Superb review by the way.
I just bought this, thanks in part to your review. It smells as you describe it, which is what I was looking for. After a couple of hours it reminds me of a fresh version of the original Anteus, from the 80s, which is a nice surprise. ¡Un saludo!
Interesting comparison... I do detect what you mean with regards to the Antaeus similarity - I think it's the incense. The original Loewe ''7'' features an even heavier dose of incense and also includes a bit of rose - more similar to Antaeus in my opinion. Buen finde - que no vuelva a llover! Un saludo.
Just what I have been looking for, thanks. I loved Bleu until they changed the recipe. I then used ADG Profondo for a year or so but they also seem to have changed the recipe - at least it doesn’t smell the same to me any more. I will try this one. Cheers from Spain.
Thanks. I live near a mountain in southern Spain and at this hour my upload speed f***in sucks. I think the quality will balance out within a few hours
To me, ambroxan itself smells different depending on what other ingredients it's mixed with. The ambroxan in Sauvage for example smells different to me than the ambroxan in Dylan Blue. The subjectivity of scent is exciting to me
Nice Video! Just got back from Madrid and smelled a few men wearing something and i was too shy to ask. It’s got a clean mediterranean, mineral, sort of fresh but doesn’t go into strictly freshie vibe. It’s projects there an herbal modern not dated yet classic vibe to it. An everyday scent sort of a rich guy feel. I’m on the hunt can you help me find this, I know a shot in the dark but since you live in Spain hoping you can help. Just ordered cobalt 7, agua Fresca Vetiver and citro cedro. I have to find this scent and will do what it takes. It’s sort of an intoxicating smell. Not spicy dark or warm. It’s clean and fresh while smelling very interesting. Please help me with some suggestions. Cheers!
Awesome city, Madrid. Lucky to call the place home. I have a feeling I know exactly the fragrance you're referring to - or rather, I can narrow it down to 2 possibilities. Does it smell kind of like a mix of Aventus, Bleu de Chanel and Sauvage, with added woods and some aromatics? Might even have some resinous incensy tinges? It's either Boreal Shine for Him or Boreal Blue Shine by the Spanish grocery store chain Mercadona. The two aren't hugely different - both are similar to a mix of the three fragrances above, with some minute differences between the two. Absolutely ubiquitous all over Spain. Costs about 13€/100ml in the mentioned grocery store. Que disfrutes de las nuevas adquisiciones esas !
You’re kidding me?!? lol. I’m thinking ok this has to be some higher end designer like loewe or carner or maybe this is something more inexpensive but unique to Spain like Adolfo Dominguez but you’re saying this smell might be coming from a grocery store chain. Aye dios mío ! lol. Ok now I have to find a way to get these said chain store colognes in the US where I’m located. Now that may be a task. Haha. Thanks again and I’ll stay tuned for more of your videos.
Bro I’m in palma nova right now and everyone smells of something amazing and I have no idea what it is and won’t ask haha. I wonder if it’s the same thing.
@@cs9115 Do you know catalan or spanish? Would be accepted as a kind gesture if you asked them what they're wearing. But I'm willing to bet you an entire paella and 6 Estrella Galicias that what you're smelling is Boreal Blu or Boreal Shine from Mercadona.
@@realscentreview no I really should learn but I’m one of these idiot brits abroad lol. I think it’s the language barrier that’s making me not want to ask incase they misunderstand. Do I also keep smelling Erba pura here?
yeah its true, I have a creed aventus,club de nuit intense and limited edition, vibrant leather of sara,supremacy not only intense, rave, explorer by mont blac cause im a fan of aventus but the much closer for me is Loewe esencia edp for Aventus
I own Bleu d Chanel EDT and I really like it. I know youre comparing it more to the EDP but would it be redundant to own Loewe 7 Cobalt if i already own Bleu?
Bleu EDT is phenomenal and in my opinion best of that line. Honestly, I do detect differences between 7 Cobalt y Bleu, but some people wouldn't. I own both; they achieve the same goals but I wear each for different occasions. It's really up to you.
I own both (BDC EDT and Loewe 7 Cobalt) - it is not redundant to own both. Loewe performs better, it is more fruity and the incense note is stronger. BDC Edt is fresher and here the mint dominates the opening and it dries down to a more woody smell rather than incense. I think both fragrances are similar, Loewe even more masculine in my opinion, slightly less versatile, more elegant. BDC is fresher, more for office and daily wearing.
@@22fdominguez I'm gonna suggest Bleu Noir EDP just by virtue of its uniqueness. Almizclada, fresca, amaderada y con un toque de vetiver. Para ser una freshie, no lleva notas citricas y eso se me hace innovador. No tiene necesariamente la mejor duracion ni estela, pero entre las tres mencionadas anteriormente, es la mas unica segun yo. No ofensiva pero tampoco aburrida. Bastante versatil y tentadora.
España tiene muchas marcas de moda y perfumeria buenisimas, tengo varias fragancias de TOUS y El Ganso y me molan, me han dicho buenas cosas de Adolfo Dominguez.
Estoy de acuerdo - varias marcas de alta calidad pero en efecto desconocidas fuera del mundo hispanohablante, por desgracia. Pero tengo que admitir, en la gama entera de la perfumeria Española (por lo menos los lanzamientos que yo he alcanzado a probar), muy pocas de las fragancias tienen un rendimiento respetable, es decir que la gran mayoria de los perfumes españoles que he probado es muy escasa. Con unas excepciones - notablemente de Loewe y Carner.

Spaniard perfumery is overlooked ironically one of the best perfumers ever is Alberto Morillas
I wholeheartedly agree - though he spent most of his life in Switzerland. My favourite perfumer.
Check out Patio Perfumes and Carner Barcelona if you don't already know these houses.
Finally someone paid attention to this gem. You should also check the original Loewe 7, which is an incense bomb, but very unique and fresh
7 and 7 Anónimo are two of my favourites.
Highly underrated line and house.

Ah, yes. That's a great one. It is on my list of future reviews
A great review, and I’m on the case for this one. Enjoy your style.
Thank you!!
If you like blue fragrances and want something a touch less mainstream than the usual, this one almost can't be beat.
I appreciate your spanish, un saludo!

@davidwestwood2457 @realscentreview To be honest, it didn't wow me unfortunately! I only had a 2ml sample so would probably need further testing.

Thanks.

Loewe has some amazing scents. I enjoy the brand.
I concur. Solo Cedro is a current favourite of mine [among many]
Have a bottle of this macerating for the past few months.. it’s time!
Ya es hora! Que disfrutes... I'm sure it won't disappoint
Thank for the review, I love this scent. I disagree with the ambroxan part, I don't get that note at all.
To me, ambroxan itself smells different depending on what other ingredients it's mixed with.
The ambroxan in Sauvage for example smells different to me than the ambroxan in Dylan Blue.
The subjectivity of scent is exciting to me
I'm taking my chances. It's been shipped 😅
Sadly, its a very underrated gem in the english community 😢. Do you live in Spain? If so, which region? Saludos desde España! 😀
Estoy de acuerdo. Espero que con este video llegue a probarla más gente.
Si, viviendo en tierras granadinas
Saludos tio!

Great video. I'm currently debating between getting this one, Narciso Rodriguez Blue Noir EDP or Encre Noir Sport. Which would you recommend?
Thanks!
Tough - they're all so distinct from one another.

What is the performance like vs BDC?
I do go over this in the video.
Not beast mode, but better than any BDC
@@realscentreview sorry I must have missed it... I might have to pick up a bottle, I previously had a 50ml bottle of Bleu EDP and was disappointed with the performance.
@@ukguy I completely understand.
This a less musky BDC that's a bit fruitier/fresher, more incense and performance is noticeably better on my skin.
@realscentreview sounds good thanks.
If you hade to pick just one would it be the Versace or loewe?
Good question.
Loewe 7. Maybe not quite as powerful as Dylan Blue, but more refined, classy and all around just a better quality fragrance
Thanks brother
