A história da casa Loewe começou como uma cooperativa de marroquinaria no centro de Madrid em 1846. O empresário alemão Enrique Loewe Rossenberg consolidou a sua reputação em 1872 ao criar deste grupo uma das casas de luxo mais original do mundo.

Quanto mais a Loewe crescia, mais o seu compromisso com a modernidade se tornou uma das características que melhor descreve a marca. Em 1950 e 1960, os escritórios e lojas da Loewe na Espanha tornaram-se verdadeiros marcos do design internacional, graças à arquitetura de interiores criada por Javier Carvajal. Nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, o conhecimento da casa Loewe na modelagem do couro permitiu a rápida personalização dos produtos. Um know-how valorizado desde Tóquio, Hong Kong e até Londres, onde a marca abriu varias lojas.

Em 1970, o artista Vicente Vela criou o anagrama, o símbolo abstrato composto por 4 Ls entrelaçados, que se tornou o símbolo dos produtos Loewe, mas também um verdadeiro emblema de excelência. A primeira coleção do pronto-a-vestir da marca foi apresentada em 1965. Uma linha que definitivamente deu à Loewe as suas credenciais de moda, tornando-a a marca icónica que é hoje. Em 1975, nasceu a bolsa Amazona. Ele foi um dos mais icônicos imaginados pela marca. Em 1996 o grupo foi comprado pela LVMH.
Foi em 1972 que a Loewe, casa de marroquinaria e pronto-a-vestir de Madrid, lançou o seu primeiro perfume feminino: L de Loewe. Inicialmente destinada à distribuição exclusivamente nas boutiques da marca, a fragrância fez tanto sucesso que acabou investindo nos canais internacionais de distribuição de perfumes.
40 anos e dez criações olfativas depois, a marca lança Solo Loewe, uma nova fragrância masculina que reinterpreta a cultura espanhola com ousadia, modernidade e sensualidade.
Os perfumes Loewe personificam o espírito espanhol: elegante, refinado, luminoso, forte e imprevisível com essências florais, amadeiradas e citricas. Para criar esta harmonia perfeita, os Perfumes Loewe inspiram-se no caráter apaixonado e sensual da Espanha. Sua filosofia é baseada nesta fusão de heranças culturais variadas e contrastantes. Vitalidade, imprevisibilidade e ousadia são, portanto, parte integrante das criações da casa.
Os perfumes Loewe dão grande ênfase à “sensualidade dos sentidos”: as suas fragrâncias dão ao olfato, mas também ao tato. O design e os materiais usados ​​para fazer as garrafas são um componente essencial do processo de criação.
A Casa oferece assim uma experiência sensorial total ao criar objetos, mas também espaços únicos, lojas, onde o artesanato e a modernidade se equilibram, privilegiando materiais luxuosos como a madeira, o couro, o ouro e o cristal.

Understanding Perfumes: Types, Composition, and Families

What Are the Different Types of Perfumes?

In a perfume bottle, there isn't just the fragrant substance; the perfume is primarily composed of a carrier whose role is to dissolve the fragrant substances well. There is a finisher, usually a fixative, which helps strengthen the fragrance's tenacity. The fixative is often in the form of iris root powder.
There is an abundance of perfumes, fragrances here and there that fill the shelves of perfumeries worldwide. But what's most impressive is that each of these aromas is unique. So, it's natural to ask the following question:

What are the differences between these fragrances based on?

We can differentiate perfumes based on various criteria. Firstly, there is a difference based on the nature of the medium.
There are 3 types of perfume according to this criterion:
1.    Alcoholic fragrances are the most common; the carrier is pure ethanol. It has the advantage of being very volatile, leaving only the scent on the skin.
2.    Oily fragrances are particularly gentle on the skin.
3.    Solid perfumes, commonly called "perfume concrete," where the perfume components are diluted in a "balm." These scents are applied in small quantities to selected areas.

Furthermore, a distinction can be made even in alcoholic perfumes, according to the content of fragrant compounds. In fact, in our perfumes, we see different names like "eau de parfum" or "eau de toilette." That's where the difference in quality lies, often related to the price difference between perfumes.

•    There are sweet waters or colognes that contain less than 8% fragrant substance. Fixation is about 1 hour.
•    Eau de Toilette has a concentration of 6 to 12%, for a fixation of about 3 hours.
•    Eau de parfum is part of this concentration growth with between 10 and 20% fragrant substance, for a period of several hours.
•    Finally, there are the perfumes themselves, which are composed of 15 to 40% fragrant material and ensure fixation for several days.

Perfume Composition: The Notes

When we talk about perfume, we often talk about notes: top, heart, base notes. They correspond to the composition in fragrant substances of the product:
•    Top notes: these are the first notes, those you feel as soon as the product disperses in the air; fresh notes of citrus fruits or herbs;
•    Heart notes: these are the ones that will smell for several hours, it's the character of the perfume; powerful notes of flowers, fruits;
•    Base notes: these are the notes that will last for several days, that will remain; warm and powerful notes of wood, moss.

Fragrance Families

When we go to a perfumery, we are usually asked what kind of perfume we like: more floral, woody, amber, etc.

There are seven main fragrance families:
1.    Citrus aromas: composed of fruit peels: orange, bergamot, citron;
2.    Floral fragrances: composed mainly of flowers: jasmine, rose, violet;
3.    Fern aromas: woody notes, lavender, oakmoss;
4.    Chypre scents: accords of oakmoss, patchouli, bergamot;
5.    Woody aromas: warm notes of sandalwood, patchouli, cedar;
6.    Amber aromas: oriental, sweet, powdery fragrances with vanilla;
7.    Leather perfumes: composed of dry notes of tobacco, smoke, burnt wood.

It is possible to distinguish perfumes based on the nature of the fragrant compound.
•    Most often, it is in the form of essential oils, which are concentrates of volatile molecules from the plant. They are obtained by distillation.
•    There are also many perfumes made from so-called "absolute" plant raw materials. Like essential oils, they are found in alcoholic, oily, and solid perfumes.
•    The third type of fragrant compound relatively present in the perfume market corresponds to CO2 extracts, which allow obtaining an odor closer to the plant than its essential oil. CO2 extracts are 100% natural and very ecological.

It should be noted that, with the industrialization of perfume and the progress of chemistry, synthetic processes emerge that allow the production of artificial fragrant compounds. Synthetic smell is sometimes more faithful than that of natural raw material, as in the case of rose.
