Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Not a single note from the description comes through; just wood and sandalwood. It’s not that I dislike it, but it doesn’t warrant a comment either.
Since Natura became an Argentine industry, something changed in their products. I prefer local industry, but they used to make better things to compete. Even since Avon took them over, I suspect they use the same ingredients and leave the skin tasting bitter like their perfumes; surely it’s the alcohol. Anyway, this doesn’t compete with designer scents. I love sweet scents and this is my favourite; it smells of sweet flowers. It lasts more than six hours on skin and days on clothes; I sprayed a blazer and could still smell it after washing. Ideal for any season and situation, daily or special. For longevity, versatility, scent and price, I love it.
Sharp, like most citrus-floral Natura scents. It doesn’t have much development; it’s for everyday wear. But if you kick yourself for smelling it, presumably due to the green notes and amber, it can give initial fatigue. Then it evolves like the Jasmine from the catalogue. It depends on taste, obviously.
To be honest, I was disappointed at first; I felt its opening was like eating a tangerine, juicy but nothing more. I couldn’t detect the other notes. But since I had to use it as I had nothing else, I noticed a very different aroma from its opening, delicious, almost creamy. It was very good. I wasn’t sure about the scent, considering it a waste, and for my personal taste, it is, because it’s not my style and I don’t feel it has a sillage. I like it on skin but it doesn’t project. It’s a pity but it’s ideal for those who enjoy perfumes just to smell them. 6/10, not because it’s bad, but because it didn’t meet my expectations.
Blasphemy! Natura has already stopped selling this delight in Mexico. We thought it would stay in the magazine for more decades; it was the king of Christmas gifts and the great absentee in 2024. The sales assistants weren’t told it would be its last cycle. It’s a shame as it’s one of the best-sellers. What is Essencial Exclusivo about? It has a sweet-and-sour opening; the notes seem to be blackberry, acai, apple (a classic of the Essencial DNA), and the tangerine aroma fuses perfectly into that sweet-and-sour moment. As it evolves and dries, the power of magnolia emerges… I will cherish what’s left in my 2016 bottle, which is half empty. Thanks to Marion Costero for designing such cheerful and elegant notes; there’s no need to be strident to attract attention.
I love it. In the first ten minutes, I smell it as super citrusy (tangerine with a bit of orange). After those minutes, I smell it like a bouquet of flowers, roses and a delicate tangerine. Definitely it’s a very feminine, delicate but well-presented aroma, with a touch of elegance. I think it could be used both for everyday wear and for a special occasion. It conveys joy, peace and sweetness.
I bought it blind and was disappointed. The perfume never evolved to its heart notes and I was left with the smell of quite artificial tangerine even after showering. It is a fresh fragrance, yes. But too citrusy and sharp. The flowers never appeared. I also didn’t feel it was elegant.
It’s a very rich fragrance, non-invasive but with a soft floral and very feminine aroma… I bought it a little over a year ago, I’ve used about 20 ml and it’s been kept away from the bathroom and in the dark. This week I put it on again and oh surprise! The opening is so rich I thought: ‘definitely I must buy a refill’, but… after 15-20 minutes it smelled like old perfume, with a very unpleasant stale afternote, as if it had expired. And that moment hasn’t arrived yet; the box states it expires in 2026. Conclusion: I won’t buy it again, perhaps I won’t use it any more; and it greatly lowers my estimate of Natura.
I’ve been letting it macerate, as unfortunately I find it very soft. A fragrance in which the oriental aspect doesn’t come through for me. Clean, floral, the magnolia or Freesia feels very watery, almost like warm water where they have rested. The only problem is that it is soft and pleasant, but expensive for what it offers. In my country it costs almost $40 and is dear for the longevity and lightness it presents.
A white floral less dense than Poison, but of the same style. The mixed citrus is very noticeable, which gives it more freshness without losing its floral personality. It’s sweet, but easy to wear. I see it more for mild days or winter; it lasts a long time on clothes.
One of my favourites among florals. It smells incredibly elegant and fresh at the same time, and the best part is that it’s very potent.
What a lovely, feminine perfume to wear! The scent is super pleasant and everyone loves it. It’s very versatile and refined.
The top notes are very noticeable upon application, and on my skin, they lasted about 1 or 2 hours without much trail. Once they soften, the heart and base notes are barely detectable. It reminds me a bit of ‘Gotas de Color’ by Agata Ruiz. I liked it just as much, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
I quite like it for everyday wear. The mandarin is very noticeable, along with a bit of orange; soon the roses begin to emerge, and ultimately the musk stands out. To be honest, I do recommend it; it’s not the best in the world, but it’s good for a collection.
Ideal for mild days. The magnolia is the star, a sweet, cheerful flower that Natura makes sparkle. I sense a bittersweet nectar resulting from the blend of fruit, flower, and citrus, and there I perceive an apple, like the one from the album ‘Humor da minha vida’ (just the apple). I also detect the bittersweet touch of blackberries and raspberries; it’s enchanting. It’s a perfume that puts me in a good mood, and those who smell it too.
It’s a good perfume, but it didn’t suit me well. The citrus notes make it 100% summer and daytime, but they are too sharp and invasive to my taste. On my skin, the heart notes are almost non-existent, and the base notes are not noticeable. While I don’t enjoy it on the skin, on clothes it is perceived better and feels more stately and serious. Very good for work and every day. The longevity didn’t please me on the skin, although on clothes it was better, lasting almost all day but in a VERY subtle way.
Please excuse me, but I liked this perfume a lot at first, then after days of use, I got tired of it… it’s coarse, very acidic and bitter. Although the magnolia is beautiful, the rest of the notes overshadow it. I don’t know what they see as elegant; I wore the bottle halfway and couldn’t cope with it anymore. I used it to scent my room and it was as if I had sprayed insecticide… my boyfriend doesn’t like it either.
After many years, I bought this fragrance again. I don’t know if they reformulated it or if I bought the refill version. Although it still smells exquisite, the longevity and projection are very poor. I gave it several chances in spring, and on hotter days, its performance left much to be desired. It’s a beautiful perfume, but I wouldn’t buy it again, mainly because in my country this catalogue brand has raised prices significantly.
With this perfume, I discovered that I like fruity-florals. Many people ask me which one it is. I hesitated, but it is noticeable from a distance. The scent is invasive, but I like it that way. This perfume is spectacular!
A nice perfume where florals and citrus predominate. It’s very appropriate for adult women because it tends towards elegance, yet it remains modern and easy to use. On the opening, it feels sweeter, almost like a citrus caramel, but that sweetness fades in seconds as the floral notes develop. It maintains this floral-citrus combination throughout its duration, and the fruity sweetness isn’t cloying. For me, the base notes never have much prominence; I feel there is a wood that gives it weight, but it’s rather a juicy fragrance. It has quite good performance and goes great for autumn and spring.
I already used Exclussivo Floral, but since Essencial was on offer, the sales assistant told me they were the same. They’re not. On my skin, it’s very potent and fruity. I prefer soft florals with a citrus touch. It’s not unpleasant; I used a small amount, but I didn’t feel like repurchasing.
It’s an exquisite perfume, passing off as a designer fragrance. I believe there’s no age limit. It lasts quite well on my skin, more than six hours, with a marked trail. It doesn’t share the exact notes nor is it a dupe, but on my skin, it smells very similar to L’imperatrice by D&G.
Whenever I wear it, people always ask what I’m wearing. It’s floral, fruity, fresh and sparkling. Very delicious!
It’s delightful; it could pass for something more expensive thanks to the blend of fruity scents.
I didn’t like it. On my skin, it feels very weak; I only detect rose and faintly mandarin. Although I like how it smells, I expected better performance; it has no trail and lasts less than two hours on me. I wouldn’t buy it again. To be transparent, it lasts 12 hours on my mum and my daughter… on my mum, who rarely gets any longevity from anything, this one lasts. I imagine we just don’t get along chemically.
I see it as fruity, with mandarin very prominent at the start, perfect for fresh days, not for heat, because the note is a bit heavy and sweet. Very delicious; I’m surprised it’s from the catalogue.
I find it exquisite, but the made in Argentina edition lacks trail and projection.
It has just arrived. As soon as I put it on, my mother asked what I had on because she loved it. I’m 24 and I don’t see it as youthful; it’s for 25 and above. It leaves a lot of trail and is noticeable with a small amount. I recommend it for the price and quality.
I detect more fruits and citrus than flowers. It’s fresh, clean and versatile. The acidic fruity part is always there!
I love it; I’ve just got it and I have no regrets. It’s a sweet touch but not cloying. I’m fascinated by this essential.
