Solo Loewe Ella

Solo Loewe Ella, released by Loewe in 2018 for women, is a fruity floral with a soft, sweet character. Everyone who describes it calls it floral and three quarters also find it gourmand; green, woody, musky and citrus facets are each mentioned by a quarter, so the fruit and flowers dominate with only a hint of shade underneath.

It opens with apple, pear, bitter orange and peach, a crisp orchard brightness with a slightly bitter citrus edge that keeps it from being purely sweet. The heart is generous: Damask rose and jasmine sambac for body, violet and heliotrope for a powdery, almondy softness, orange blossom for honeyed warmth and green tea for a cool, clean thread. Amber and white woods in the base round it into a smooth, lightly warm finish.

Most wearers report moderate longevity and about a third find it long lasting; sillage is moderate for most. It is voted firmly for spring and then summer, and mostly for daytime, which suggests a bright, feminine scent for warm, light days.
