What do reviewers say about Lethe and Solo Loewe?
A quiet fragrance. The kind that slips under the radar on first sniff but grows into something you reach for again and again. Not for those who need to be felt from across the room.Lethe
Solo Loewe does not smell like most masculine releases from 2004. The guava in the opening is unusual for its era, and the star anise in the heart adds a note that still feels distinctive today.Solo Loewe
