Aura (original) by Loewe

Aura was wonderful, magical and enveloping. It had incredible trail and longevity. It smelled sweet and fresh at the same time. The top notes were fresh and sparkling, the heart floral with violets and roses, and the base was ambered with clean vanilla that came close to perfection. If anyone still has it and isn’t using it, please sell it to me. Aura should have been eternal.

It hurts my soul that they discontinued it. It was the perfect perfume. I fell in love with the scent immediately. A 10 for the trail; sexy, elegant, powerful, powdery, floral – it had everything!! A true wonder; for me, the most addictive and mind-blowing Loewe fragrance. The new one is nothing like it; it’s an insult to the memory of this perfume, renaming a fragrance that has nothing to do with it. This scent should be eternal, a flagship of the brand. I’m sure if they brought it back, it would break records. I really hope they reconsider bringing it back again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I completely agree. I used it for a long time until they took it off the shelves. It made me feel good. It was beautiful and always drew compliments. Nothing like the new one out there now. What a shame!!! I don’t know what goes through their heads to discontinue it. PLEASE LOEWE GENTLEMEN/LADIES, BRING IT BACK INTO CIRCULATION!!!!!!

What a lost gem… Loewe has had some strange decisions regarding their fragrances. Essenza Femme and this Aura are two that should never have been lost. This fragrance fits perfectly within the Loewe house, suitable for a red carpet right now and a myriad of formal and semi-formal occasions. I could describe it as resinous, powdery, and floral. Everything is very moderate, and I think it suffers from that. Perhaps if it were more intense, I would absolutely go crazy (for the better). I can’t find the fruits anywhere here, nor (thank God) the iris. The violet combined with vanilla and freesia creates a wonderful powdery effect, moderate, not as noticeable as the Flower by Kenzo. The amber, benzoin, and tonka are also kept in check, not at all strident or intense. It is, as I’ve said, moderate, contained, well-balanced; I would have loved a bit more punch, but this detail certainly doesn’t detract from the quality. Let’s see if Loewe brings it back alongside discontinued scents in special editions as they did a few years ago, because it is absolutely wonderful.

One of the best fragrances ever made: warm, sensual, sweet, and woody. It was noticeable without being invasive or cloying, almost addictive. What a shame they stopped making it, and even worse that they renamed another perfume that has nothing to do with it. What a letdown when, after years, I passed by El Corte Inglés, smelling super excited and ready to buy, only to discover it was almost a joke; it makes no sense to me, weren’t there more names? The new Aura has neither the trail, nor the longevity, nor the originality… I don’t know if they share notes, but they must be very few. Since then, I’ve kept a miniature I treasure like gold, and from time to time, I smell it to remember the old days. Please, if anyone knows a similar fragrance, post it here; I’m sure many people are looking.

I had this perfume when I hadn’t reached the age of majority; I remember a strong but pleasant and very lasting scent. I hated it when one day the bottle fell to the floor, breaking completely, and because of that, I had the smell in the whole room for over a week, which overwhelmed me. Its longevity power is incredible.
