The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002 by Loewe, Esencia Femme was crafted by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Emilio Valeros as an ode to the multifaceted nature of femininity. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citrus from grapefruit and lemon, balanced by the aromatic freshness of ginger and bergamot. This bright, energetic beginning transitions into a heart of delicate florals like pansy, rose, lotus, and lily-of-the-valley. The base notes of musk and woody accords provide warmth and depth, creating an overall composition that is both fresh and enveloping.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a balanced wear. The citrus top notes are bright but will fade within an hour, making way for the floral heart and musky base that provide lasting comfort throughout the day.
