Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Agua Mar de Coral captures the vivid freshness of a tropical coral reef, blending sparkling aquatic notes with a bright citrus opening of bergamot. The heart evokes the cool, mineral-tinged depths of the sea, while a base of soft cedar and white musk lends a clean, skin-close warmth. It is light and airy yet surprisingly lasting, evoking sun-drenched coastlines and clear turquoise water.
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.
How they overlap
Agua Mar de Coral and 001 Man share 2 notes (bergamot, amber). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (5 unique to Agua Mar de Coral, 6 unique to 001 Man) are where the divergence happens.
The buying decision
Agua Mar de Coral is the cheaper original at $130 compared to $175 for 001 Man — about 26% less.
