I bought it because I felt I needed to. It’s the same, or practically the same as an already discontinued Kiehl’s fragrance, Vanilla & Cedar. I don’t find it to be an oriental fragrance as such, it’s not complex or heavy, but rather quite gentle. What stands out most is a fairly natural and fairly dark vanilla, but without being sickly. Completely unisex.
I bought this fragrance recently and I have to say I’m not really into sweet scents, especially when they advertise them as for both sexes haha the thing is I like how it develops, it’s quite subtle, it’s just that its scent reminds me of something but I still don’t know what, anyway I like it and I think it’s one of L’Occitane’s iconic fragrances, it was expensive here in Honduras, around 2,000 lps, two thousand lempiras as they say, but I’m pleased with my purchase, the good thing is the bottle is refillable, I can put in another one when I use it up.😏
For years I looked for a clone of neonatura and it’s brilliant, unmatched longevity, brilliant projection. It’s divine, warm, enveloping, to me it brings tremendous calm
What a wonderful perfume, please…! I bought it yesterday. The saleswoman tells me it’s the “reformulation” of the old Ambré, which you can’t get anymore, and that they made it again to commemorate L’Occitane’s fortieth anniversary, celebrated in 2016. Powerful opening, amber, slightly sweet, woody and balsamic fragrance. Incredible longevity. It’s better for night-time and cold weather. Let’s hope they don’t discontinue it again. I truly found a real gem. All L’Occitane en Provence products are excellent quality, although quite expensive. But they’re worth it.

I bought it because I felt it was necessary. It’s the same, or practically the same as an already discontinued Kiehl’s fragrance, Vanilla & Cedar. It doesn’t strike me as an oriental fragrance as such, it’s not complex or heavy, but rather quite friendly. Above all, a fairly natural and fairly dark vanilla stands out, but without being cloying. Completely unisex.
I picked this up because I felt I needed it. It’s the same or nearly identical to that long-out-of-print Kiehl’s Vanilla & Cedar. It’s not an over-the-top oriental, but rather quite pleasant. What stands out most is a natural, dark vanilla without being cloying. Totally unisex.
I bought it recently and have to say I’m not usually into sweet scents, especially ones marketed as unisex, haha. The point is, I like its development; it’s quite subtle, though it smells like something I can’t quite place. Anyway, I absolutely love it and I think an iconic L’Occitane fragrance cost me a fortune here in Honduras, around 2,000 lempiras. I’m happy with the purchase because the bottle is refillable, so I can top it up when I run out.
I’ve been searching for a Neonatura clone for years and it’s brilliant. The longevity is unmatched and the projection is great. It’s divine, warm, and spacious. It brings me an immense sense of calm.
