How does this compare to the original Loewe 7 or other "blue" fragrances?+−
While it shares the signature incense of the original Loewe 7, Cobalt is significantly fresher and more versatile. Compared to standard "blue" scents, it is less aquatic and more aromatic, utilizing sage and blackcurrant to achieve a clean profile rather than sea-salt or heavy calone notes.
Is this suitable for the office?+−
Yes, it is highly recommended for professional settings. The "Business" and "Daily" use cases are its most popular categories among owners, as the sage and vetiver provide a clean, put-together impression that isn't cloying or intrusive in a shared workspace.
How does the incense note behave in this fragrance?+−
The frankincense absolute is prominent but refined. It doesn't smell like a burning candle or a church; instead, it provides a cool, slightly metallic, and smoky texture that adds depth to the fruity and herbaceous notes.
Can this be worn year-round?+−
It is exceptionally adaptable. While it excels in the moderate temperatures of spring and fall, the freshness of the sage and blackcurrant allows it to work in the summer, and the weight of the clove and tonka bean ensures it doesn't disappear in the winter.
