HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994, Aura Original by Loewe is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the essence of warmth and sophistication. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes like mandarin orange and bergamot, which give way to a heart of freesia, parma violet, and gardenia — floral aromas that are both delicate and rich. The base layers of benzoin, Peru balsam, sandalwood, vanilla, ambergris, tonka bean, and musk create an enveloping warmth, making Aura Original a versatile scent for any occasion.
Aura Original projects well, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The citrus notes open up quickly but fade within an hour, making way for the comforting base that lasts throughout the day.
