Solo Loewe Ella Eau de Toilette

“Valaya’s tropical version indeed. I love this scent! And I found Arabic perfume which is ~80% similar to this one for 11 euro it’s Ajmal Elegancia - the opening is a bit different ( Ella opens up with passion fruit note, whereas Elegancia with passiflora the flower ) but the dry down is really similar!”

“I do get the baccarat rouge comparison, I got a blotter at the store, super fruity and indeed tropical opening refreshing slightly gourmand, really enjoyable, then the heart gets fairly sweet quickly, that's where I lost interest. Left the blotter on my vanity, forgot about it, then after a couple of days I was getting ready and thought, "why does it smell like baccarat rouge? I haven't used it in weeks.. " it's the blotter. So yes, the dry down is similar but the journey to get there is completely different. Nice sweet tropical scent though.”

“This smells like walking through a fruit market somewhere in southern Italy. I'm not actually sure that I like it, the top notes seem kind of weird on my skin, but then it settles into a decent scent. It's actually quite long-lasting and has a strong sillage, maybe on the borderline of being headache inducing. I wouldn't buy it, the beginning just doesn't mesh well with me, sadly.”
