Loewe 001 Man
Carrot seeds are not a note that belongs in a conventional masculine woody, and Valeros and Bisch use them here to give the sandalwood and cedar heart a dry, slightly earthy quality that distinguishes 001 Man from its contemporaries. Cardamom and bergamot open with a warmth and brightness before ambrette takes the heart, adding a soft, skin-like musk that cypress keeps from reading as too intimate. Violet and Indonesian patchouli in the base give the finish a depth that the clean opening does not immediately predict.
Why We Carry This
001 Man established Loewe's fragrance identity in 2016 with a carrot seed detail that continues to distinguish it in the woody aromatic category. Bisch's involvement gives the construction a precision that the ambrette-sandalwood heart rewards, and the Indonesian patchouli base grounds the composition in the Spanish leather house's material sensibility.
