Very interesting, very unique, but unfortunately I absolutely can't stand it. I get the same note from start to finish. Yes, it's blended really well, but I guess it's the galbanum that drowns out everything else in the background that makes me detest it? I would never remember the fig if it wasn't for other comments, but it does smell like fig wood or leaf. Quality stuff overall, although I am baffled that people describe this scent as sweet.

Anyway, a true niche, an acquired taste. You should feel special if you are into it.

Trueblood84

This stuff is fantastic! It smells unique, yet appealing. It lasts 8hrs easily and has a beautiful presentation. I was on the fence with this one because I usually hate coconut, but I don't get coconut at all just some kind of tropical fruit with driftwood. It smells amazing to me and I plan on getting a backup and I do not usually do so.

barcelonaboi10

As advertised - fun and fresh summer set with coconut and fruity notes. You can wear it year round if you want to conjure up beachy vibes.

M-as-Marin

I purchased Paula's Ibiza a couple of days ago, and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with the overall impressions I got in the first couple of wears. This is NOT your typical beachy scent, and is quite unique, and can be challenging for someone who is not used to creative perfumery. A niche fragrance with superb presentation and affordable price point. This has that typical sunscreen vibe but only in the first hour. After that, it takes a complete 360, and turns into this peppery/herbal fragrance with salty, musky and slightly vanillic undertones. Performance is great, and ill do a full review in a couple of months at scentgrail.com. Don't recommend to purchase this without smelling it first since it also has a classic vibe as well.

woomanmoomin

@pinkgatitos The sharp (bitter) note in the opening is probably the galbanum. That one's not for everyone.

liquideggwhite

smells like fresh grass to me. i dont get much coconut, orange or vanilla

SnowIce

I had to came back to say this. I absolutely adore Paulas Ibiza. It makes my mouth water. I have no words why this is so good & delicious. I wear this in October, in Scandinavia when first snow is on the ground. Yes I know this is summer scent. But I wear it always. There is no other like this.

pinkgatitos

I logged into my account just to say how much i hate this fragrance. If you like it, that's great because you're gonna smell it EVERYWHERE. I tested it once and had to scrub it off my skin. I tried it again now, more than a year later, and its still the same headache inducing scent. It's very sharp, i don't think it's the patchouli since i like that note, but there's something very sharp in its opening that lingers. Do not blind buy.

JacintoM

This fragrance is exactly what I was hoping it would be while reading and watching some of the reviews. I agree with a fellow reviewer Naipe that it's all about balance here and Núria Cruelles Borrull who composed Paula’s Ibiza got it so right.

It's green, tropical (due to use of flowers such as frangipani and narcissus) and aquatic but not like a typical aquatic scent. Coconut note is more like coconut water and combined with bourbon vanilla create an aura of a luxurious body lotion. Flowers are kept in check by galbanum which I think is why this scent doesn’t smell like a sweet sun screen.

Paula’s Ibiza is a perfect combination of green, flowery, woody and creamy notes. The impression I get is like being in a tropical place surrounded by sea water, filled with flowers and woods after the rain (great combo of driftwood and ambergris). Very laidback and classy and the same time. I have worn it in the heat and it worked perfectly. Its longevity for eau de toilette is almost unrivalled and projection at least moderate but never too much.

I have to confess that I ignored Paula’s Ibiza at first because of… the bottle. Now that I have discovered the scent and worn it I have to say the colours make sens. One of my top summer fragrances, easily.

GinaAG

I find this perfume very Mediterranean, but not exotic or tropical (I am Mediterranean), meaning that I cannot find the coconut or the frangipani notes, but instead I can notice a tomato note that is not listed, although I am sure it is definitely there. It is an ok perfume, but not good enough to make me feel I need it in my collection. I have another Loewe perfume, Mar de Coral, which I love for summer, and I also love other Loewe perfumes, but this ones is a nah for me.

BadPete

Bitter green and coconutty opening. Sweetness from the coconut and vanilla combination tames the bitterness from galbanum down and maks a very pleasant exotic opening. There are also combination of ambergris and frangipani in the background which brings up beach vacation feeling. Good longivity. Average projection. Love it.

magred

strange scent. somewhat fruity, somewhat floral, somewhat sweet, but really just... cloudy and thick? i dont want to smell like the essence of humidity.

AnlisaC

this defiantly works for summer. It has a woody green citrus vibe. The Frangigani gives a summery flare to it. This is an everyone scent. I really can’t see this for winter due to the frangipani which gives it a tropical scent. Longevity is excellent definitely 6 hours plus and sillage is also very good. This is going to be a new summer favorite. Niche quality for sure! Get your hands on this! 10/10 my new summer go to…..think VIW without coconut!

DoubtingThomas

The thing is, this is a bit weird summer EdT.

First of all - it’s loud, and definitely not fresh. It’s loud in the beginning and it stays loud for several hours. This is the moment where Paula’s Ibiza feels most exotic and - can I say humid? Because humidity is what I associate with it the most.

The closest association I can get from this is a perfectly lab-manufactured synthetic figue, with hints of heavy, soaked wood from the sea. I’m currently in southern Europe and here, in the 30°+ conditions, Paulas Ibiza shines like a star. The longevity and sillage is massive - can’t imagine how strong the EdP would be - and yet, it doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable. It was made heavy for hot temperatures.

Outside your regular holidaying though, I would be careful about the use as the scent can get lost in your hometown city, with no direct access to the beach. I wore it few times and it never really left impression on me or anyone around. It’s not offensive, but the natural habitat for this scent is quite clear: if it’s not Ibiza, it’s definitely an island.

Use it well and you’ll be rewarded.

SnowIce

First I tought this is weird and too strong. But now I really enjoy and love it!

Paula's Ibiza is sweet and green, very green. Galbanum blends so beautifylly with other notes giving very sexy fibe when sprayed on skin. It has strong, bohemian character and it takes you into paradise forest. Coconut stays at background. It is happy, young and unisex for those who dares to be visible.
I dont get any fig here.

Finisterle

Paula's Ibiza has a grave case of bipolar disorder.

In warm weather Paula CAN smell like beautiful summer air bouncing between the sea, the sunny warm sky and mountains on land.

In other words: this is the bottled fragrance of summer on a rocky island. The fragrance name and the olfactory impression rhyme - mission accomplished, so far, so good.

But there is a caveat and that's cold weather. Paula can't handle it. She loses her bearings, becomes despondent and foul mouthed. You want to run the other way then. Paula is that person who can be really fascinating but is never far away from being horrible.

Ilikewhatilike

The galbanum dominates too much for me

CGud23

So… I don’t like it.

I saw Sebastian review this fragrance on his YouTube channel and it really peaked my interest! I was imagining a beach scent for a cold Northern California beach setting. I was imagining something completely different than what this smells like! To my nose I’m getting a potent pack of baby wipes! I’m so disappointed as I was really excited about this! It also reminds me of Sol De Janeiro’s new scent— Rio Radiance— the one in the yellow bottle. It’s Rio Radiance and baby wipes in a nutshell! Wish I loved it as much as the other reviewers before me, but alas— it is not so!

On a high note, this perfume comes in a beautiful presentation! Beautiful box and bottle! Just not for me!

amberbyanyothername

I've found it!! I've found the perfect summer fragrance! I've been hunting for so long for the perfect fresh/green/bright coconut fragrance for the summer, and this might be it.

A beautiful green (definitely get the green pepper smell), frangipani opening with a beautiful coconut milk heart. I definitely get the woody driftwood note, and all rounded off by a creamy bourbon vanilla/ambergris.

It's very tropical, and definitely unique. I love this. 100% unisex too.

Tannerbuhnaner

This fragrance is BEAUTIFUL! I am obsessed and have been wearing it for several days straight. Opens with stunning tropical floral, bitter green, and citrus notes and drys down into a fresh, earthy, slightly creamy, woody citrus, with just a hint of florals and coconut, and a base of marine ambergris saltiness. If you are concerned that the coconut is going to be sunscreeny, don't be... it is a very light and refreshing coconut note. This fragrance smells humid in the best way, like walking into a conservatory green house or freshly a rained tropical forrest. It is intoxicating to my nose. Also, I read the green pepper reviews here and I can see where that might be an aroma that gets picked up from this fragrance, however, I personally don't think it ruins the fragrance for me. Paula's Ibiza does slightly remind me of bistro waters by DS & Durga, however there the green pepper is the star of the show... With paulas, the notes just so happen to combine into a green pepper-y like aroma. I think you may want to try a sample of this fragrance if you aren't familiar with the note of Galbanum... It has a slightly bitter green quality that I think could turn people away, but I also think it is what makes this fragrance as unique as it is. The galbanum mellows out and blends in with the rest of the notes after an hour of wear. It's beautiful, unique, and unisex. It lasts a long time, especially on fabric, and has a moderate projection. I think it is perfect for late winter through summer - day or night. I suspect that it is the perfect fragrance for the beach.

P.S. Also, I am seeing people compare this fragrance to Philosykos. Folks... there is no fig here. Please stop comparing every green fragrance to Philosykos. There are many more green notes than fig and fig leaf. I see so many inaccurate Philosykos comparisons everywhere on this site. Haha.

naipe

Paula's Ibiza is a dream of a scent, I am gratefully surprised for its discovery. The balance is the key... it is super-well blended, it has the right amount of each thing... very close to a perfect scent to me: it is not much heavy on coconut, that gives prominence to frangipani, which is delicious, and paired with narcissus: surprinsing, what a so clever combo. There is also no ubiquitous or obvious salty note, although the fragrance is crossed from beginning to end by a slightly salty trail. I would not label Paula's Ibiza as a green scent either, though galbanum is perfectly detectable. The base notes are the perfection, and give meaning to the whole. In short, there are a lot of things here: the sea, the suntan lotion, the green plants of the coast when they are not yet very sunburned; there are sweet and woody notes... but the geniality is that this fragrance is everything and none of that.

Paula's Ibiza is just a breeze and almost effortlessly catches the feeling of a bohemian lifestyle, calm but vital, but I find it super-sophisticated as well... absolutely hippy royalty jet set vibes. Actually, the best thing is that this is a very real fragrance, very pleasant to wear, long-lasting and not overwhelming... Super recommended! BRAVO!

EffieKleos

Whoever said this smelled like Green peppers ruined it for me-haha. I can't NOT smell Green pepper now when I wear it--cilantro even. gave it a guy friend and smells way fresher and less vegetal on him.

kg_artist

A masculine version of mancera holidays. A great summer scent.

zvlvnski

Easily became my signature scent in less than a year. I am so grateful that they finally came out with a 100 ml because believe it or not, my other summer fragrance might just start collecting dust (although they are also special).

Super green with a hint of floral. Regarding the coconut it’s more of a fresh coconut water smell and less of a victoria secret coconut passion or tom ford soleil Blanc type of coconut; not sure why people are disappointed with the artificial coconut absence.

On my skin, it definitely lasts around 6-7 hours. On my clothes it’s definitely on there the next day, no doubt.

Also, funny enough, I hated this fragrance at first trial. I thought it smell like green peppers and was completely dissatisfied.

Isabel Isa

Hoy probé este paulas Ibiza y me recordó mucho a tangerine de la misma casa, para mi exquisito y muy duradero, me gusta más cuando se asienta, mi próximo perfume de verano, (me gustó más que el electric)

Ovamka

A sophisticated version of Mancera Holidays.

Perseous

As other people mentioned before, this fragrance is quite weird. But not in a bad way. I think it does smell good and it‘s one of the most unique fragrances that I ever smelled but for me it is almost too unique (if that makes sense?). Whenever I buy a fragrance, I try to picture myself wearing it on a certain occasion but I cannot come up with one for Paula’s Ibiza. I think I am not the type of person for this fragrance, even though I really wanted to.

I have to mention, that I also tried Paula’s Ibiza eclectic and this one suits me waaaaay more. It is still unique but not as much as this one. The eclectic one also feels more feminine and wearable to me. Nonetheless, I think both of them are great fragrances but you definitely have to try them in store before buying them!

ScentedPlaza

Love it! I have been wearing it all summer... Long lasting & projects like crazy (especially in the humid weather over here in Spain)! This is a very specific peculiar scent, would not suggest to blind buy it, as it is a strange one (in a good way). Green & herbal with a barbershop accord & a dash of coconut water. Smells niche & aka old money vibes and yachting..
My Youtube channel: @SanneParf

spartaksci

Surprisingly, this smells more masculine the more it dries down. Even more surprising, the performance on this is great. A green-tinged floral summer scent that is very different from current summer releases, specially when you look at the notes: coconut is only there for the opening, it vanishes in about 15 minutes. There's no sweetness here. In fact it has a dryness to it (driftwood note) combined with the florals that is very smooth and bright and definetly puts you in a "sunny day at the beachside" vibe.
Also, and it's very strange, there's something very nostalgic to me in here, like it brought me olfactory memories from a 90's summertime for some reason. My nose definetly recognized something very familiar from a very specific point in time within this scent that i can't for the life of me describe what it is, but i know it is something.
But, even though i enjoyed this DNA, it's a bit overpriced for what it is. It's not a one-of-a-kind scent and you can find similar frags for half the price and same performance/appeal.

Joseebus

I’m a huge fan of beachy fragrances and this has got to be the most unique one of all! Overall, I would say the experience of this is very fresh, but there is this gorgeous woody earthiness that makes this so distinctive. It’s like an orange grove at the seaside. You get the salty marine air with the smell of orange trees and soil and just the slightest touch of coconut. Truly stunning. And for an eau de toilette, this is a BEAST.

Nataja

This has to be the best summer scent I have ever came across… it’s perfection

claudscaro

Ooo this is interesting. On me, this smells JUST like entering a tropical greenhouse, with palm trees, humid hot air and over all freshness. There is something fig-like, woody and coconuty about this, but not in a very sweet way. And it stays clear and fresh for so long, it doesn't really fade on my skind. I can't get enough of it. This is a hidden gem, as long as it fits your skin!

vanillaorchid

This scent is highly offensive to my nose - in fact, this is the worst I've come across among all coconut scents I've tried. It is from opening to drydown an extremely sharp, bitter, woody green smell to me. Some of my friends enjoyed it, I was perplexed! It smells so bad to me I just can't! I don't think I've smelled galbanum in any other fragrance, so I'm thinking I might be sensitive to the ingredient(s) behind the note.

tilapia_johnson

Dry, sweet coconut paired with sandy driftwood and creamy tropical flowers. The dry down is a pleasantly dirty combo of salty musk and warm patchouli, likened by some to the smell of sweat or saliva. I agree there is a bodily feeling, but its not sexual, or sexed for that matter. An intriguingly nostalgic composite of Ibiza through scent.

SmellOrHighWater

Immediately reads more synthetic than natural, but not in an unpleasant way. The opening is coconut water (not flesh) with a hint of citrus and florals. On my skin, the driftwood accord takes the main stage quickly. The smell is reminiscent of a beach cabin, surrounded by wildflowers, baking in the sun. I can see the fig wood comparisons as well Patchouli/"Ambergris" scents are noticeable close to the skin after 4-5 hours. Overall, surprisingly pleasant, especially in hot weather.

HEADACHE

Ksj_

I get a lot of synthetic fig from this one, and it reminds me a lot of Philosykos. But not as good.



Unfortunately, this one will be a pass for me. Because I don’t really get the vacation vibes people refer to. Also, I don’t get hype around this one, because Philosykos is better quality than this.

Robing

Totally in love with this one one. I’m on my fourth bottle, Loewe should indeed release this in a bigger bottle. To some this is all about fig. I like fig but I really can’t detect any in Paula’s Ibiza. Green, patchouli and driftwood. An excellent choise for when the sun is shining :-)

lovethatsmellalot

This smells similar enough to be a flanker of another tropical scent.

I love tropical scents. I often blind buy ones that sound interesting. I have had a string of meh purchases, and was happy to take this out of the package, find a beautiful round box with fun artistry, pull out the fun looking bottle, and spray this on to find a complicated, green scent that has some facets of fig and coconut but gets to tropical without being trite.

Paula's Ibiza opens up with a very green scent on a sweet, coconut/fig background and some woods. I imagined taking a pocket knife and shaving the bark off fig tree branch sticks. Somehow, the scent also conjured up a taco stand nestled in palm trees with yellow lights strewn about.

Amid all this imagining, I realized that it smells a lot like another scent I have: Guess 1981 Indigo. Indigo opens up with a similar sweet, coconut/fig, but lacks any of the green/woodiness of Paula's Ibiza. Indigo came out in 2018, so had the juice in Paula's Ibiza been released by Guess it would have been named Guess 1981 Indigo Extreme or Indigo Night. On the other hand, if Loewe's had released the juice in Indigo as a flanker to Paula's Ibiza, it would be called Paula's Ibiza Eau Fraiche. Either way, if you enjoy one, you are likely to appreciate the other. Of the two, Paula's Ibiza is superior in terms of performance. The scent lasts all day.

I kind of curse the person who wrote the smell is like green pepper, because now I can smell green pepper when I smell Paula's Ibiza, which is I think is the note that brought to mind a taco stand when I was originally testing. Already, coconut is an interesting scent - the coconut in Diesel Only The Brave Wild smells a bit of Thai curry. There is an undeniable culinary aspect to Paula's Ibiza, but because the scent leans more figgy than coconut milky, it does not smell of Thai food. In any case, this is no gourmand.

In sum, this is a tropical scent that takes a unique path. If you like tropical scents and want one that is unisex but leans masculine, this one may fit the bill.

melusina1982

"Mmmm,coconut! fig! saltwater!. I've found a tropical one that suits my skin!". That is what I thought for half an hour. Then Cthulhu started emerging from its aquatic tomb. I don't know what happened and I don't want to repeat the experience as much as I love the Old Ones.

soroush_mgh

I love the smell of this fragrance! I just wish there was a bigger bottle available to purchase. 😕

Vegas Pauli

When I see a "tropical" scent I think of the endless Escada or Michael Kors flankers that smell like a bright sunny beach day filled with suntan lotion, white flowers and some sweet fruity cocktail. There are a ton of scents out there with these notes and vibe. Paula's Ibiza is a topical scent too, but the take here is a totally different approach. This is dark, muted and soft. This is a day at the beach that transitions to night. This reminds me of being at an outdoor bar on the beach, everyone is glowing from being in the sun all day, and their coconut sunblock is almost worn off. You smell green plants far off as the night is humid and sweaty. You also smell the salty air coming from the ocean. In your hand is a sangria made with a dark red wine...
I find this interpretation of the tropics very interesting. The bourbon vanilla, ambergris and patchouli gives this a muted almost chocolaty feel. This holds back the flowery notes so they are just barley sweet. The yellow-green bitter galbanum note is evident through out here, so if you are not a fan, be warned. This reminds me a little of the chocolate lemon and lavender notes in Covet by SJP. Also reminds me of Velvet Haze by Byredo.
Runs lightly masculine to me, but this can go either way. Very unusual and sexy in it's own way, I really like this.

TheLanciaFan

I went to the store decided to buy it. Asked the shop assistant to try it on my skin...
My god... i swear it smelled like hair spray like the one my grandma used to use.
I tought "ok, let´s go for a walk and let it settle for a while..."... Big no. Smells sweet with a bit of body sweat at the same time... No way. What a pitty.

Try it before you buy it. Seriously.

lantpls

i do love this one-- i needed a summer fragrance and i thought this one was perfect for me <3 it starts off like an earthy coconut and sort of wears into quite an earthy smell. i like it! i can see it being a bit hit or miss though. it also lasts super well- i've had it on all day and it's still really strong

(don't take my word too seriously tho i totally don't know what i'm on about when it comes to perfume lmao)

pois

This was a fantastic idea for a perfume, I love the packaging as well. But testing this made me realize once again that I do not like patchouli. And patchouli is the structure of this scent. It is beachy and summery, in a summer night at the beach way but I can not deal with the patchouli. Sadly a no-love for me, despite my high hopes for it.

I thought it was quite long lasting, maybe the wood-synthetics and come on the patchouli clings, also projected quite a bit.

Joani_Cheddar

upon first spritz - all i smell is Galbanum, quickly goes into a woody scent with slight fruit (giving it a jolly rancher vibe on the down low) - with a persistent green scent (galbanum or maybe the patch) echo faint but always there - the white florals/coconut/vanilla blend this swell. To me this is more crisp than creamy, more fruity than floral, but overall a definite driftwood scent. This is the best summer time scent - hot weather today 90 and this lasts! But even better - it smells great. It literally smells like summer - wearing this makes me think I am in Ibiza at a beach party with a DJ. Def unisex

EDIT: 1 YEAR LATER - this was by FAR the best fragrance I purchased for 2021 as far as originality, quality, cost and scent. This is niche quality at a designer budget and VERY well done.

americanablonde

I'm surprised that this is technically listed for women, as I found this to be an extremely unisex scent! It's not too floral, and after the dry down, the driftwood (and something that peculiarly smells like sweat, perhaps the ambroxan) is the most prominent note. I'm also surprised by how many reviewers have found this to be long lasting! I sprayed this four times, and within an hour and a half, the scent is definitely starting to fade.

While the dry down is nice, the opening of this fragrance, on me at least, was weirdly citrusy and chemical. It smelled like Windex, but that thankfully went away after a half hour or so. I saw another reviewer say that this smells like a dirty beach hippie, but in a good way, and I absolutely agree! The perfume really smells like someone who has been camping near the ocean for a week, and surfs and goes to bonfires day in and day out. On the one hand, it's a great smell, but on the other, that sweaty, animalic scent is fairly present too, giving this fragrance a unique dichotomy.

It's not a perfume that I can really see myself wearing, but the scent is a bit addicting, and I think that I'd really like smelling it on someone else!

Old School Tie

Cannot understand the longevity ratings....this lasts 24 hours. This performs as EdT used to back in the 1980s. Anyone who says it doesn’t last is not quite all there...

CindyLouHoo

A longer lasting Eau d'Italie, especially on drydown. They don't list it as a note in this one, but it is in Eau d'Italie: terracotta, or clay. There is something mineral on drydown that I find captivating and fresh. Eau d'Italie is the fragrance of Le Sirenuse, the famous seaside hotel in Positano. So - since it's a twin - imagine terracotta tiles warmed by the sun and slightly damp from salt spray, with some neroli/orange flower sea breeze coming over to sweeten things up a tad. Easily unisex. I'm female and wear it with pleasure.

Old School Tie

Nice weather today and gave myself a couple of sprays. Projecting like crazy all day. 10+ hours.

Riverwind79

Being a guy, I love this scent! I feel it's rather unisex as its not too floral. Really made me relax alot after smelling this. The bottle itself is so pretty! So enchanting looking at it.

miriamcarothers

Finally received my bottle which is gorgeous. I love everything about the packaging, bottle & cap.
Fragrance itself is figgy fig FIG!!!!
A mellowed out Womanity with the salty fig.
Longevity is 2 hours for me. I don’t get these other reviews that it’s long lasting.
Bottle is so pretty I don’t really mind though. Reason to not gobble up my discontinued Womanity and plow through this first.

Coquita

This one reminds me a lot of the now-discontinued Lolita Lempicka's L Fleur de Corail. Just as that one, I am not sure if I like this or not. The driftwood note is the most prominent. It is supported by lily, and something very sweat-like that I assume is ambergris. I get wafts of some of the other notes (mainly coconut, frangipani and galbanum), which give the hippie vibe from Ibiza to this perfume. The projection and staying power are very good, so far 9h and counting.
All in all, I'd say it's a summer fragrance to be worn whenever you are near to or missing that beach vibe.

7/10

smile4thecamera

For an EDT, Paula's Ibiza is very long lasting. This opens with lily and woods on my skin and pretty much stays that way. I think patch is what anchors this though and combined with the lily makes it last and last. Somehow it reminds me of Barcelona and all the smells on Las Ramblas.

Old School Tie

Well, this has jumped straight in at No.2 in my house’s summer fragrance chart, just behind Yves Rocher Plein Soleil. Both of them give off a great summery, beachy, 1980s vibe, the Loewe is a bit less feminine but both are essentially feminine-leaning unisex. It does actually remind me of Ibiza, good times. Performance is great, longevity and projection. I must hasten to add that this and the Plein Soleil are what the girl’s in my house are wearing. I love to smell these wafting about the place but I’ll stick to my old man stuff for myself, AdP Oud today. The boy’s in the house wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything mentioned on this website. They seem to want to smell of motorcycles, oil rags and cigarettes. Great :/.....oh yeah, all this stuff is greatly reduced, presumably thanks to our little virus friend. Also, both have attractive packaging and make for nice presents for the ladies in your life.

Javierglez

No good.
It smells cheap and as someone said it smells at saliva and something citrus, suntan cream coco mixed with rotten flowery water.

Please, dont buy it.

alang4l

The longevity on this one is really good and the sillage is nice too but it kinda smells like saliva mixed with suntan lotion after a while (not sure if it’s the ambergris). Still I think this a good fragrance and worth buying.

kiristarr

Dirty beach hippie!! In a good way. On point for Paula's Ibiza collection. On first blast, I get patchouli - a dry earthy patch, not a medicinal patch. Thank goodness! Next, the coconut creeps in, followed by the rich ambergris. These three notes remain prominent on me, at least initially. I will report back as it develops...

insooomniac

The packaging is truly wonderful and together with the bottle you are immediately transported to a warm, sunny beach... It is very fresh at the beginning and gradually it becomes warmer and more sensual. The coconut is discrete. In general, this is not a typical, sweet perfume. It is reminiscent of a sunny beach vacation from years ago, summer love, carefreeness and positivity. This is a well conceived creation from start to finish, telling a story unique and personal. Very different from all LOEWE fragrances, more progressive and irrelevant to trends and mass appeal! Sillage and longevity are great even though this is an edt.

After living for 2 years in Ibiza, I was curious about this fragrance. Is very well blend, not really possible to identify single notes, but a whole new smell. Is very linear, in the begining is a little bit more sweet, because of the mandarine and coconut. The mandarine here is more like a volatile sweetness that you feel when you are pealing a mandarine. This volatilyness is balanced by a sweet creamy coconut, but a faded one, not the typical suntan lotion's coconut Im used to in perfumes. Almost at the same time you get this green accord, very well balanced by the mix of galbanum and patchouli, whith some hints of Iris. It is a soft green note, not, in your face kind of green note.
The accord of drift wood is very well achieved and present during all phases, and associated to the ambroxan, gives that seaside vibe to the composition. I almost couldn't feel the frangipany or vanilla, and I think they are only there to balance the green accord and prevent it to go too herbal. It is a very different fragrance from what I'm used to, but I love it. It completely tansport me to the walks to the wonderful Ibicenc calas in spring, crowded with galbanum and wild flowers, untill you get tothe crystal clear turquoise waters full o driftwood. It is more a skin scent and, At first I thought the longevity was not great, but as usually happens with perfumes with ambroxan in their composition, whiffs of this magical smell kept going and coming back to me all throug the day.

This fragrance is great.

It’s a transportive scent that will whisk you away to a lush tropical garden right next to sandy beaches. White flowers mingle with sunscreen lotion and salty air for a truly laidback scent.

The bottle, which also looks amazing, ties the whole carefree concept seamlessly.

Strong projection, good longevity, unisex.

A win for Loewe.

Ordered it online on loewe.com and can’t wait to receive it! Bottle and packaging looks amazing, ingredients sound whimsical... I’ll make sure to write my review asap.

It is on-brand, as it's part of the Paula's Ibiza capsule collection, which features this style.

Fragrance sounds promising.
