The sweet notes have increased by 20% compared to the base. Here, the Absoluto is citrusy and ambered, with a touch of orchid. At first, it resembles the Solo base closely, but as it dries down, they take different paths while maintaining the essence. The Absoluto feels more accomplished and modern: the tangerine shines with an amber-incense blend, and the orchid adds an acidic, nervous, and vibrant effect. It is linear, masculine, and bold, but be careful; it can be annoying if not worn well; at 29 degrees, it seems impossible. It has good density and lasts 6-9 hours, which gives it the victory. It seems like four seasons, but in the heat, it’s oppressive. It suits ages 22 to 60, semi-formal occasions. If you already have the Solo, this isn’t necessary (there’s only a 25% difference), but if you don’t have either, this is the one to get.

At first, it resembles the base SOLO closely, but as it dries, they take different paths while retaining the essence. The Absolute feels more accomplished and modernised: the tangerine shines with an ambered incense, and the orchid lends an acidic, nervous, and vibrant effect. It is linear, masculine, and punchy, but be warned; it can be annoying if not worn correctly; at 29 degrees, it seems impossible to wear. It has good density and lasts 6-9 hours, which secures the victory. It resembles Four Seasons, but in the heat, it becomes oppressive. Suitable for ages 22 to 60, semi-formal. If you already own the SOLO, this isn’t necessary (there’s only a 25% difference), but if you don’t have either, this is the one to get.

It hits with that sharp dryness typical of the SOLO family; I don’t fancy it, yet it hooks me like some form of masochism… hehe. If you’re after something natural and fresh, forget it; there’s nothing of the sort here. I discarded it due to that plasticky tonka note in the dry-down which I find revolting, even if the rest is potent and not bad. The opening with orange and lavender is fresh, then the tone drops with the incense (not burnt, thank you) and I liked the finish; it’s an undefined blend with nuances and without that plastic sweetness. I expected less longevity, but with a little product I could smell it hours later. In short, it might be good if you aren’t seeking exquisite aromas and don’t mind that plasticky tone.

“TANGERINE BOMB” The opening is a very sweet tangerine scent with a woody base. As it dries down, the incense becomes noticeable, though only slightly. It gives a smoky vibe, but it’s not as prominent as in Loewe 7 (incense and green apple). Have you tried the orange/tangerine Jolly Ranchers? It’s close to that, but with a refined touch. After reading the ingredients, I had high expectations and was disappointed. It is linear and could be boring. I use it casually for temperate/cold climates and people over 25. I bought the 125ml bottle and have no regrets; I like it, but nothing more. It’s different from the rest, but not a masterpiece.

It’s one of those perfumes that captivate instantly: the opening is citrusy and fresh, dominated by tangerine with a woody touch. Truth be told, it loses its freshness quickly, but that initial scent is what lingers on the skin without evolving. For me, this lack of development isn’t a flaw but a success, because the opening is exquisite and addictive. The incense is barely noticeable as it dries down, offering moderate projection. It’s not a top performer, but it’s a wonderful fragrance for spring or autumn afternoons, perfect for dinner on a terrace or a theatre outing with friends.

Ideal if you like a linear scent: it’s completely linear. It starts fresh and citrusy (tangerine) with a woody touch, but loses its freshness quickly. The note that remains on the skin is the one that lingers and doesn’t evolve. What is a flaw in others is a triumph here: the opening is exquisite and captivating. Perhaps the incense in the dry-down is barely noticeable, resulting in moderate projection. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a great fragrance for late afternoon or evening in spring or autumn, perfect for a terrace dinner or an informal gathering.

A pleasant fragrance with a powdery opening and a constant tangerine scent. As everyone says, it’s linear and shifts slightly towards woods after three hours, though the incense is barely noticeable. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t make me feel anything special; I think it’s the one I like least in the SOLO line, although I’ve only tried the original and the Platinum.

I swear I’d already written this… Initially, I listed it according to the manufacturer’s pyramid, but they’ve since changed it. The curious thing is that it doesn’t follow the classic pyramid, but rather four chords: Wet Stone (lavender, neroli, orchid), Hesperide (bergamot, tangerine), Dry Wood (sandalwood, labdanum) and Spiced (wormwood, basil, tonka bean).

To me, it’s a wonder. I agree that it is linear, and that is the best thing, because sometimes the opening is what people like most, not the base. Loewe Solo Absoluto smells innovative; it doesn’t resemble anything I’ve tried before. It works brilliantly for late afternoon or evening; it is elegant but not necessarily formal.

Objectively, it’s an excellent perfume, but personally, I simply don’t like the tangerine note at all.

Objectively, it’s a cracking fragrance, but the tangerine note kills it, full stop.
