Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Agua de Loewe is a fresh, aquatic-leaning fragrance that opens with a bright burst of citrus and bergamot, layered over a soft floral heart of geranium and jasmine. The dry-down settles into a clean, woody base of sandalwood and musk, creating a light and effortlessly wearable signature. It is a classic everyday scent with a Mediterranean sensibility—airy, green, and quietly sophisticated.
Loewe 001 Man opens with a bright, citrus-forward burst of bergamot and neroli that quickly gives way to a refined leathery heart, nodding to the brand's storied craftsmanship heritage. As it dries down, warm sandalwood, vetiver, and cedarwood create a sophisticated woody foundation enriched by subtle amber and musk. The overall effect is a clean yet distinctly masculine fragrance — polished and understated, with an artisanal elegance befitting a luxury leather house.

The remaining notes (5 unique to Agua de Loewe, 5 unique to 001 Man) are where the divergence happens.
