AGUA DE LOEWE EL or CK Euphoria

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
Yes I know these are completely different from each other,

May be some people know my Polo Black EDT and deostick trouble.

Actually, I went to a parfumery to buy Agua de Loewe, yesterday. But don't know why I wanted to test the Euphoria (may be the reason is used CK Crave for long years before, and it towards little similar to me). Then sprayed left wrist AdL and right wrist Euphoria. I walked about one or one and a half hour in the mall. Result was very different from written in here before: While AdL turned to soapy and weak form, euphoria turned to very intense and strict form. Altough don't really like Euphoria's sweet and deep ginger-leather?-sugar smell, I love its longevity as a longevity poor (because of Polo Black).. Anyway I couldn't decide yesterday, and today I must buy one of these. What do you think about that? (by the way, I don't mention about Euphoria Intense, just Euphoria Men.)

Thanks in advance.

That's absolutely true!

I'm trying to choose between these two because I'm so tired from million possibilities varieties and etc... CK Crave was like my signature, after it discontinued I just don't keep up with whatever I try. Lastly I tried Polo Black and really loved but all of Polo Black and other Ralph Lauren products in my country are expired (according to checkcosmetic). Nowadays I've been tried over and over and over again... I'm just tired from searching something new or tries or disappointments... It makes me really sad man... I'm waiting a hand to pull me through from this situation. Any suggestion or help... Anything...

Sorry MrAndySais, but I don't exactly understand what the Lo-Ey-Way means?

Beyond Paradise for Men by Estee Lauder - Upon application, one is treated to a salt water and fruity melange. I suspect Eden's Mist is calone with its watery, marine and ozone accord furnishing a delightful, fresh, seashore apparition. Fruitiness of ripened melons and somewhat medicinal cucumber is provided by the Brazilian jabuticaba, while South African buchu leaves impart their rain forest vibe with their lush and woody aspects as well as a faint mintiness. This refreshing opening drifts to the waiting middle. Here, in the heart, herbaceous lavender, with its inherent freshness, a mediterranean accord of earth and sweet cistus as well as vivacious herbs overhaul the blend. Balsamic sage along with verdurous tarragon, with its licorice and lemon vibe, as well as lemony and woody thyme wonderfully interplay. The strong base usurps this bracing mix. Old and weather-beaten beachwood, green and grassy vetiver, minty and muddy patchouli, earthy and foresty oakmoss as well as light and spicy melaleuca bark, all bestow their sensuous character. A fascinating drydown ensues. This impressive and manly composition has good projection and very good longevity.

I still don't understand why the op wishes us to decide which of two colognes he should wear, when he doesn't much like either one. If you don't like them, keep looking. Eventually you'll find several you fancy (though you'll keep searching for "The One").

I personally don't like either Agua de Loewe or CK Euphoria (though I only smelled Euphoria once). There are so many better choices out there.

Yes, it's true, too. But here is the situation, I've been searching for about two months. And unfortunately my possibilities are very limited, not like any europe country or u.s. If I lived different country it wouldn't be necessary for this search. Yet in that case I would still keep on with PB. On the other hand, the fragrances that I want to test is not been sold in here. Sorry my friend I'm living in a limited free country. And that is my best.

Okay, I understand better now. I'm pretty surprised the choices are that limited in Turkey (assuming that's where you live, due to your basenotes flag), but I guess it depends on where in Turkey you live -- I know it's not a small country. What about ordering samples online? I'd hate for you to settle for a scent you don't like just because it's the lesser of several evils.

For that matter, if Loewe is available, have you tried the other Loewes? I think Loewe Pour Homme has a funky smell, but Essencia is quite nice, from what I remember. Also, if you like Agua de Loewe a bit, you may want to try Issey Miyake. From what I remember, the two were somewhat similar, but it's been a year since I tried Agua and I could be mis-remembering.

Yes you are right, I'm living in capital of Turkey, Ankara. Of course many choices exist in here, but these choices mostly consist of popular scents. For example; I can find all Armani, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Dior, Chanel, etc... Also I can find all the evils that top sellers in other countries... But can I find the scent that I want? Hell no! For example, I really liked Polo Black and Double Black. Moreover, I found Polo Black EDT and deostick at Sephora, and bought them. These products caused allergy on my skin, so I doubted and checked their production code. According to "checkcosmetic.net" these products were producted on June 2008, and their expiration period is 3 years! And guess what, all of Polo Black and Double Black products are out of expiration date in here (I checked all one by one, really!). I searched for new fragrances. I mean tried to find... If you live in Turkey, you can't find Creed, Parfums de Nicolai, John Varvatos, Montale, Canali, Lolita Lempicka, etc... On the other hand you can find all sticky jerkish popular scents (I call in this way because all jerks in here are use this scents only because of their popularity, I guess it is the reason why only this type scents are selling here.) ex: Armani Code, Gio, PR One Million, Black XS, JPG Le male and many others like that...

Another point is ordering sample online. Well my friend, it is not allowed any cosmetic products for passing through the customs (even samples, also supplements, medicines, and all the products that price is over 150€) besides, if I order Canali Black Diamond and I like it, I can't find the fragrance in here. So it is useless for me.

And lastly, actually the Loewe that I've mentioned about is Agua De Loewe El sorry for misstype by the way (I corrected the topic yesterday). I used Issey Miyake long time ago, and I well know its characteristic and smell, AdL El reminds me it better way. I don't want use again Issey Miyake I prefer AgL El instead of Issey Miyake (at least, AdL El is more special for me than Issey Miyake) I don't see Pour Homme and don't know if there is or not, but I've tried other Loewes:

I didn't like unisex AdL, hated Solo, little liked Solo Cologne Intense, but my favorite is AdL El.

But now I'm not thinking to buy neither AdL El nor Euphoria, I asked myself over and over again, I think I don't want to buy strongly ("heperd" says right). From the begining, I want to buy a concept fragrance which has both deostick and deodorant spray with eau de toilette. Just want to smell good with these speciality. May be I want too much in one?
