A Mi Aire
Loewe A Mi Aire Eau de Toilette 100ml is a spiced floral of a kind that was common twenty years ago and is hard to find now, and it is the work of Emilio Valeros and Olivier Cresp. The opening is citrus and warmth together. Bergamot, mandarin orange and tangerine arrive as a bright, round, slightly sweet trio, and clove cuts into them immediately with a dry, almost dental heat that tells you this is not going to be a simple summer scent. The middle is the more interesting part. Tea gives it a dry, tannic, faintly astringent quality, rose and jasmine fill it out with proper floral weight, carnation adds its own peppery spice, and black pepper sharpens the lot. Flowers and spices in that balance can easily turn heavy, and what keeps this one upright is the tea running through the centre of it.
The base is dry and classical. Cedarwood provides a sharpened structure, oakmoss a damp bitter green, and musk softens everything into a close, clean finish that lasts well into the evening. Expect five or six hours from the toilette concentration, with projection strongest in the first of them. It dates from 2005, reads as feminine, and suits autumn, spring, the office and dinners, rather than hot afternoons, where the clove and carnation become insistent. The 100ml bottle is the standard size for it and the only one most buyers see.
Loewe says of itself that only one luxury fashion house in the world is older, and it has been in Madrid since 1846. Its perfumery began in 1972, and the house took its German name in 1872 from Enrique Loewe Roessberg, who had bought the Madrid workshop that started the business.
