Loewe’s Crafted Collection Has Expanded, and You’re Going to Want to Make Space on Your Vanity
Nothing I love more than when the formulators behind one of my favorite fragrance houses look at their current lineup and think, “Let’s do more.” That’s exactly what the team at Loewe Parfums did with its Crafted Collection, and my fragrance-obsessed self is rejoicing. Originally launched in 2025 with three hero SKUs: Bittersweet Oud, Roasted Vanilla, and Iris Root, the extended collection features five new scents, all rooted in the collection’s signature use of classic ingredients in a more refined, tasteful experience.
“[The Crafted Collection] is about respecting the integrity of craft ingredients and redefining them in a contemporary way,” Loewe’s Perfumer Nuria Cruelles previously told Marie Claire. “Our other collections are about a concept. It’s about working with a bunch of ingredients. We craft the ingredient like an artisan.” The brand also takes the crafted namesake quite literally, as evidenced by each traditional hand-blown glass bottle and granite cap. Each scent features the signature Loewe accord, inspired by the ambery, resinous scent of the Rockrose wildflower, which grows across the Iberian Peninsula.
While I have a firm favorite in the original lineup (Iris Root, I will profess my love for you forever), the five new launches have me feeling like a parent trying to choose a favorite child. If you’re also trying to find your new favorite from the latest additions to the lineup, I’ve shared all the details, plus direct links to add them to your cart. Your fall fragrance tray curation begins now.
Field Diary
Inspired by a lush wildflower meadow, Field Diary has notes of green mandarin, blood, lychee, and orange blossom. Artemisia, sandalwood, and musk round out the creation, and the result is a perfume that smells fresh, almost to the point of being a little soapy, but still contains my favorite qualities of a musky skin scent. It’s clean and sweet, and depending on how many sprays you use, it can sit close to the skin or project enough to fill a room as soon as you step into it. A versatile queen, if I do say so myself.
Rosetopia
I don’t consider myself a floral perfume lover, but I’ve been toying with a few over the past few months, and Rosetopia might be what pushes me over the line. Meant to capture the scent of a rose garden in full bloom, this scent features damascene rose, grapefruit, pink pepper, peony, and lily of the valley, before amber and amber musk round out the composition. The combination reminds me of dewy rose petals and skin musk—perfect for any clean-girl routine aficionados after that everything shower.
Smoky Rain
I’m not sure if I’ve ever encountered a more aptly named perfume. Though this perfume technically has no aquatic notes, the bergamot and pink pepper top notes somehow capture the scent of the air just as it starts to drizzle but isn't raining yet. A delightful incense note adds that smoky element before amber, patchouli, and white musk give that fullness that perfectly rounds out the formula and makes it a perfect, unisex fall fragrance. I can already foresee the fights my husband and I will have over this perfume.
Verdant Grove
Verdant Grove combines two of the It-girl notes in perfume right now: pistachio and iris. It’s a combination I didn't expect and initially side-eyed, but I am happy to report, dear reader, that I am eating my words. This isn’t your typical gourmand in the sense that it’s cloying and headache-inducing, because Loewe has taken that traditional olfactive palette and has completely reconstructed it. The nutty note pairs with bergamot in the opening, then quickly gives way to iris and orange blossom. Caramel, which I don't usually enjoy, blends with vanilla, cedarwood, and musk in the dry down, keeping the concoction intriguing and massively cool-girl coded instead of too youthful.
Sweet Woodland
I still believe ginger is one of the most underrated gourmand notes out there, and Sweet Woodland is proving me right, yet again. The perfume takes all the fresh, fizzy qualities of the vegetable and instead of completely burying it, uses notes like rose, mandarin, and orange blossom to bring out its more effervescent traits. Then, to add depth, a cognac note adds a hit of syrupy booziness that perfectly balances the patchouli, wood, and vanilla base notes. This is ginger as you’ve never experienced before.
