Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Loewe 7 EDT
A truly unique scent, Loewe 7 is a proper 'love it or hate it' affair. If you're after something a bit different and don't mind smelling like a really expensive Catholic church, this could be your next signature. Just sample first, because it's not for everyone.

Our Verdict - ExpLOud EDP
ExpLOud is a polarising beast. Some rave about its sophisticated, ever-evolving oud journey, others find it overwhelmingly spicy or just a bit... bland. If you can handle a proper oud, this might be your jam - but sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Loewe 7

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its distinctive incense and spice profile, often described as church-like or very macho, makes it a bit too bold for everyday office wear without careful application. However, its unique character and reported compliment-gathering appeal lend itself well to dates and more formal, cooler weather settings. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling adventurous and want to stand out.

ExpLOud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong longevity and potent sillage-one reviewer calls it an "oud bomb" and "crazy strong"-ExpLOud is best reserved for formal occasions and dates. It's too commanding for office wear and completely inappropriate for sport.
