Advantages: exclusive, warm, comforting, classy

Disadvantages: only available in Spain?

In this country the name Loewe is probably more connected with TVs and the like, apart from those of you who have seen the Loewe leather goods in Harrods and other such high-end stores.

But take a trip to Spain and it's a different matter. Loewe for them means largely exclusive leather goods, plus a wonderful range of perfumes, colognes and aftershaves.

This opinion is of Loewe Esencia for men. This is the archetypal Spanish fragrance. Take a walk around Madrid and you cannot fail to smell it on Gentlemen of distinction. What does it smell like? Well, as smells go it's quite difficult to describe. It's quite sweet and spicy, probably the nearest smell to it would be a very good pipe tobacco, there's that richness and creaminess. It's long-lasting and comes in a lovely green bottle with a piece of Loewe leather in the top of the very heavy bottle-top. This isn't a fun fragrance, none of your zesty, jazzy, hip, vomit-inducing odours here. It's just very classy, very rich, very comforting. I recommend it, especially as a warm winter fragrance. The price is the same as for any classy fragrance, and bargains can be had in the duty-free on leaving Spain.

NB: Since writing this article I've found that this cologne is available over the web, price including p+p is something around 50 pounds for 150ml. Just look on, for example, www.yahoo.es and search using the word 'perfumeria'. It helps if you speak a little Spamish though.
