First off, you got this “Aire – Loewe 100ml – Genérico Nº 67” which apparently is supposed to smell like the actual Loewe Aire. I mean, *generico*… we all know what that means, right? Knock-off. But hey, maybe it’s a *good* knock-off? I dunno. The ad copy talks about “otimismo” and “felicidade absoluta,” like, whoa, heavy stuff for a perfume that’s probably bottled in someone’s garage. (No offense to garage-bottled perfume entrepreneurs, you go Glen Coco!)
Then there’s the “Solo – Loewe (Genérico Nr. 81)” for the dudes. This one’s inspired by “the sunset” and “equilibrium.” My immediate reaction is, *really*? Sunset equilibrium in a generic cologne? Sounds kinda pretentious, doesn’t it? They’re trying to sell you a vibe, man, not just a smell. And the whole “opposites harmonizing” thing? I’m getting some serious yoga-instructor-trying-to-sell-me-inner-peace vibes, and I’m not sure I’m buying it. (Pun intended, ha!).
But wait, there’s more! We’ve got “Sky Bloom” which is apparently part of a whole *campaign* for Loewe perfumes, the real, genuine article. It’s all about nature and “intimacy.” I’m assuming that means smelling good enough to, you know, get close to someone? Marketing, amirite?
And then, the kicker, you have “Perfume Aire de Loewe (generico) *150ml*,” available with free shipping if you spend over 49 somethings (probably euros or something). So it *is* a thing, this generic Loewe world.
Okay, so here’s what I think. It’s like this – you’ve got Loewe, the fancy brand with the artsy ads about nature and sunsets and stuff. They’re selling a dream, a lifestyle. Then you’ve got the generic versions. These are… let’s be honest… for people who like the *idea* of Loewe, but don’t wanna shell out the big bucks.
Is it worth it? I honestly have no idea! Maybe the generics smell surprisingly good. Maybe they smell like cheap chemicals. It’s a gamble, right? It’s like buying a generic cereal – sometimes it’s just as good as the brand name, and sometimes it tastes like cardboard.
Ultimately, I guess it comes down to what you’re looking for. If you want the whole Loewe experience – the fancy bottle, the artsy ad campaign, the bragging rights – then you gotta get the real thing. But if you just want a perfume that smells kinda similar, and you’re willing to take a chance, then maybe the generic is worth a shot. Just, uh, don’t expect “absolute happiness” in a bottle, okay? And maybe don’t wear it on a first date. Just sayin’.
