Loewe
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Coconut water hits your pulse points with startling wetness, immediately tempered by galbanum's green, almost herbal bite. The mandarin orange cuts through with tart citrus that feels verdant rather than sweet, creating an initial impression of brightness undercut by something slightly austere and mineral.
Driftwood and frangipani emerge as a fascinating counterpoint—creamy white florality meeting weathered woody notes that smell faintly salty and worn. The composition settles into something genuinely aromatic and considered, where each element retains its identity rather than dissolving into a generic tropical blur.
Bourbon vanilla absolute and Indonesian patchouli build a soft, skin-scent base that's more about intimacy than presence. The ambergris provides a subtle, warm glow that keeps the fragrance from becoming too woody or too sweet, lingering as a whisper of vanilla-tinged musk rather than a loud amber cloud.
Paula's Ibiza captures something rarely achieved in modern fragrance: the smell of escape without resorting to tired tropical clichés. Núria Cruelles Borrull has crafted a scent that feels less like a postcard and more like the actual humidity-soaked moment of arrival—that peculiar sensory overload when you step off the plane into Mediterranean warmth.
The opening is deceptively bright. Coconut water arrives not as creamy sunscreen but as something genuinely aqueous and slightly mineral, its sweetness immediately arrested by galbanum's green, almost bitter snap. This is where the fragrance announces its refusal to be merely hedonistic; the Madagascan mandarin orange threads through with sharp citrus bite rather than jammy sweetness, creating a tart-green accord that feels simultaneously refreshing and slightly astringent.
