These 3 Fragrances Will Upgrade Your Perfume Collection – Here’s Why

Once a beauty aficionado’s must-have, the signature scent – that one ultimate fragrance that defines you on the daily – has given way to a whole wardrobe of fragrances to choose from as a decidedly more modern approach. Depending on the occasion, day, your mood and even the weather, how you want to scent yourself each day is, understandably, just as variable as your choice of clothing.

When it comes to creating a perfume wardrobe, a curated collection is key. Here’s where LOEWE Perfumes’ Un Paseo por Madrid, a set of nine unisex scents, will add a hit of sophisticated splendor to your current mix. All are crafted to capture the spirit of the fashion house’s historic roots in the city of Madrid, with each one named after a defining city landmark. If you’re wondering which one (or two) to snap up first, consider our edit below…

If any fragrance can conjure feelings of excitement or vibrancy, it’s LOEWE Perfumes’ Prado eau de parfum – an aromatic ode to Madrid’s most renowned art gallery, the Museo Nacional del Prado. Like the must-see masterpieces housed within the museum, Prado (also the Spanish word for meadow) is a multi-layered mix crafted by the brand’s creative director Jonathan Anderson and in-house perfumer Núria Cruelles, featuring woody and amber notes at its heart. You’ll also find notes of chamomile, clary sage, blackberry and lychee alongside a special accord inspired by the Spanish rock rose (which blooms with showy white flowers). The result is a head-turning but never cloying scent, ideal for after-work play.

LOEWE Perfumes’ Doré eau de parfum is so much more than your garden variety of blooms. It offers a surprisingly delicate hit of rose and orange blossom mixed with grounding patchouli, amber, cinnamon and nutmeg, topped off with the sweetness of vanilla. Created to mirror the spirit of Madrid’s oldest movie theater, Cine Doré, and its archival screenings, the scent is sophisticated and modern, with a vintage flair – fit for those days when you need a little comfort, joy and retro inspiration.

In every fragrance wardrobe, you need that one suits-all-occasions scent, and LOEWE Perfumes’ La Bella Cibeles eau de parfum stands out. Think of it as the perfume equivalent of the LBD. Here, classic florals rose and iris are blended with vanilla and musk to give them some depth, ensuring the fragrance stands the test of time and place and echoes Madrid’s famous historic Plaza de Cibeles, the inspiration behind the named. Featuring a prominent marble fountain depicting Cibeles, the goddess of Earth and fertility, this beautiful Plaza is arguably the celebratory heart of Madrid. Expect a similar mix of softness and warmth when wearing this scintillating blend.

Topped with a marble cap – an ode to the traditional nero aureus marble found in Spanish architecture – the minimalist block-shaped frosted-glass vessels are just as covetable as the fashion house’s ‘Puzzle’ bag or logo-embroidered jeans. Equally at home on your bathroom vanity as a living-room shelving display, they’ll fit seamlessly into any room and with any décor.
