The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gala de Dia by Loewe was launched in 1996, crafted by perfumers Olivier Cresp and Emilio Valeros. This floral-woody fragrance opens with a fresh ozonic accord that gives way to a heart of rose and white florals, before settling into a warm spicy base. The composition is balanced between the brightness of its top notes and the depth of its woody warmth, creating an atmosphere that feels both uplifting and grounding.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure that both the fresh ozonic top notes and the warm woody base are well-represented. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it maintains a delicate balance between freshness and warmth, making it ideal for professional environments.
