001 Woman
Peony and musk, and nothing else whatsoever, is the proposition in Loewe 001 Woman Eau de Parfum, so anybody expecting a developed composition should know that before buying. This is a texture in a bottle rather than a fragrance with chapters.
Peony is the flower and it is handled as the cool, watery, faintly peppery bloom it is, pink and clean with none of the heaviness of a white floral. Musk is everything else: soft, warm, slightly laundered, the smell of skin and clean cotton, and it carries the peony from the first minute to the last. The effect is intimate and quiet, and the restraint is the point, because the house built this pair of scents around the idea of smelling like a person rather than a perfume counter.
Emilio Valeros composed it and it dates from 2016. In wear it lasts well for something so simple, holding most of a day at eau de parfum strength while sitting very close to the skin, so it will be noticed by people who are near you and nobody else. Warm weather suits it, daytime suits it, offices suit it, and it works for anyone who wants to wear fragrance without declaring it. It is sold to women and makes a safe gift for someone whose taste you do not know in detail, since there is nothing in it to object to. Against the 001 Man it is the cleaner and simpler of the two, with the flower where the other has earth, and the pair are meant to be read together.
The house behind it has been in Madrid since 1846 and claims a place as the second oldest luxury fashion house anywhere. The German surname was adopted in 1872 along with a new owner, and its perfumery, running since 1972, now sits inside the LVMH perfumes and cosmetics arm.
