Agua Ella
A light but piquant scent that mirrors autumn’s polarities. With an aquatic waterlily heart and zests of lemon, kumquat and bergamot, LOEWE Agua Ella finds its grounding in sandalwood, cedar, musk and an energising twist of pepper.

Dear Polly All-Over Spray
Reflecting on the ritual of freshly brewed tea, here in a head-to-toe spritz, Dear Polly’s heart of Ceylon black tea gets a lift from the crisp brightness of apple and bergamot, and a warming touch of musk and amber that leaves a sensual finish.
