Fragrance Notes
Aire Sutileza
Buying perfume for somebody who finds most of it too strong is a genuine problem, and the Loewe Aire Sutileza Eau de Toilette Gift Set is one of the better answers to it.
The fragrance is deliberately slight. Pear comes first, soft and juicy rather than sharp, giving the opening a rounded sweetness. Lily of the valley arrives next with its clean green dewiness, which is the smell most people associate with freshly washed anything at all, and jasmine sits underneath adding a creamy fullness that stops the other two from feeling thin. Three materials, no more than that, and the brevity of it is the point rather than an oversight.
In wear it is quiet from the start and quieter within the hour. An eau de toilette at this weight gives three or four hours and sits close to the skin throughout, so it can be worn in meetings, on aeroplanes and in small rooms without anyone minding. Reapplying at lunchtime is entirely reasonable if you want it present all day. Hot weather suits it, as does any occasion at all where perfume ought to be noticed only by whoever happens to be standing next to you. In character it is feminine and quite youthful. As a boxed set it makes a straightforward present, and a far safer one than almost anything louder on the same shelf.
The maker is Loewe, a Spanish house that was founded in Madrid in 1846 and says only one luxury fashion house anywhere is its senior. The German name dates from 1872, when Enrique Loewe Roessberg bought the Madrid workshop out of which everything else followed. Loewe entered fragrance in 1972 and its perfume arm sits today in the LVMH perfume and cosmetics operation.
