Spectacular fragrance that disappoints: starts boozy and woody, evolves brilliantly, but lasts nothing. By the hour it smells like skin, and by three it’s gone. Perhaps suitable for home use, but I wonder if it’s socially acceptable to walk around smelling like cognac.
-
geroluna_44
Smells like a bar counter, straight up old-school whiskey man.

A masculine and long-lasting fragrance; I see similarities with Coragio. It doesn’t list roses, but I can smell them. Among the essentials, this could be one of the most versatile.
-
amson
As they say, the opening stands out with cognac and apple, very interesting, but on my nose it comes across as cheap, very alcoholic, and low quality. It lasts a breath, so all that’s left is to wait for it to disappear. I wouldn’t recommend it.

After reading comments, I bought the 25ml format. It’s exactly as they say: lasts a breath. Boozy opening with ginger and basil, green and old-school. Simply vanishes in minutes until it’s imperceptible. I like the scent, but I wouldn’t recommend it; I’d lean towards other options in the line with better performance. 5/10.

Sloan_Arg
An exquisite breath! I don’t know if the batch I bought was reformulated or if the longevity and sillage have always been this weak, but the scent captivates me. What a pity; it’s a very pleasant smell, boozy old-school, like sweet fragrances from 2005 to 2015.
-
CarlosEDP
Reminds me of Davidoff’s Cool Water, but with a touch more quality and refinement. Its Achilles’ heel is longevity and weak sillage. I agree with the other users.
-
MaximoRV
I was surprised! A boozy opening that lasts very little. A masculine perfume with a woody and creamy base (I think it’s musk), perfect for a night date. Longevity and sillage are moderate, but given the price, it can be forgiven. Ideal for fresh days and nights; doesn’t work with heat. I liked it a lot and recommend it (don’t buy blindly). Rating: 8/10.
-
MrCoffee
I love this perfume. Boozy opening with a cognac note and spicy undertones. What I detect most is the apple with cognac, lavender, and pepper. Wow, it’s very well balanced and rounded; nothing stands out badly. Longevity and projection are average; it’s not one of the most potent but it doesn’t fade quickly either. Lasts about 6 to 7 hours and projects for 3 or 4 hours.
-
Chrise46
I can’t describe the opening; it’s more of a sweet boozy type like whiskey, cognac, or brandy. It doesn’t appeal to me at 21, but someone older might appreciate it. After four minutes, it remotely resembles my beloved and discontinued Amouage Escada, but as the second- or third-degree mature office worker cousin. After fifteen minutes, it becomes identical to the Kenzo Pour Homme from the early 2000s in its dry-down, just with a tiny touch more sweetness. I affirm this because Kenzo has been my father’s signature fragrance since I can remember; he’s had the same French-made bottle for 22 years.

What a beauty!

Well, I’d say it smells a bit like old liquor. It starts strong and then the smoke fades. Worth trying, but not essential. The opening is a powerful hit and can be dizzying. The longevity is average, nothing special, and once it dries down it smells sweet and lovely. It’s for evening wear, period. Cheers.
-
Gentil vagabond
What a delight, a liquor scent with a delicate and balanced dry-down. It doesn’t overpower, but it does feel a bit generic. Its weak point is that it doesn’t last long on the skin, but overall it’s a good fragrance.
-
wildkatzen
It’s a characterful fragrance, more mellow and elegant, with liquor notes, fresh touches, green apple, some soft wood, and that dry sweetness that might be the musk appearing occasionally. At first, it timidly reminds me of Mugler Pure Malt but much lighter, and then the second phase recalls Xeryus Rouge with a sweet bitterness… these are two rich fragrances that earn my respect, even if they don’t overwhelm. Of course, I’d use it in my collection, and the performance is very good; you can smell it on clothes and skin all morning without getting bored.
-
Carlo Mendez
I bought it blind and it was a winner; I loved everything about it. It smells delicious beyond words. It opens with liquor, apple, and ginger, feeling very natural and not cheap. After a while it becomes more versatile, revealing lavender with a spicy, spiced note over a very masculine woody base. Honestly, I expected worse performance based on what I’d read, but on my skin it lasted decently, around 8 hours. The first 3 or 4 hours project well, then it settles and clings to the skin. In short, it’s very good; I must own it. I feel like I’d buy litres just to smell like this forever. Highly recommended, and the bottle is elegant too. Scent: 8.9/10, Longevity: 7.5/10, Projection: 7/10. Recommended.

It’s different from the rest of the Essential line, leaning more towards sweet. Its opening of apple and cognac is exquisite, and I think being distinct makes it more interesting. It’s very versatile, doesn’t overpower, but the longevity is around 5 or 6 hours. Perfect for going out at night or a walk; for the office it’s a bit short. I liked it, but as always, better to try before buying.
-
Dodo
It makes me want it… I have a sample and I love it; I’ve seen it on promotion and I think I’ll buy it soon. YouTube says it’s similar to Givenchy’s Xeryus Rouge… the quality is incredible, very exquisite.
-
Julian37
Quickly: Opening with well-marked and dominant apple and liquor, dry-down with a slight pepper, soft musk, and a very soft boozy woody finish… It’s not a bad scent, though there are better ones for the price, but I wouldn’t recommend it due to the terrible performance… it evaporates very quickly, the opening, and disappears from the skin in just over 4 hours, maybe 5 at most… (Argentine version, so I can’t speak for the Brazilian one).
-
Martu
It didn’t last at all where I tested the sample. I knew they said the performance was poor, and yes, within the Natura line it disappoints me. Moreover, to be an Essential, I found the scent quite generic, pleasant, fruity, aromatic, and fairly sweet… it didn’t catch my attention.
-
Matux
You can really smell the cardamomo and ginger at the start, but it doesn’t evolve beyond that. I tried to identify the heart notes; there’s some spicy tone, possibly pink pepper, but I can’t find traces of lavender, geranium, or hyssop. Nor does it evolve much in the base; at most the opening notes fade without the initial proposal changing much. I think it could be interesting for those who prefer novel aromatic proposals over woody ones, mostly for the very young. One addition: the Argentine version is quite weak in longevity.
-
Alexxfg
I received a decant and it delivers on the promised notes. Upon spraying, it hits full cognac and apple. In the middle, pink pepper and geranium are very noticeable. The base is musk, but there’s a woody copaiba touch not listed on the card. I see it as unisex, sweet but not gourmand; more of a fougère hybrid with pleasant spices. It evaporates quickly, fitting the price, with medium longevity. The dry-down feels a bit diffuse, yet it has good olfactory presence and is ideal for going out to a party.

I didn’t expect much, as Natura perfumes usually share the same base, but I absolutely loved this Essencial Exclusive. As the name suggests, it’s rare to find something like this; it seems to come out on special dates and lives up to its name. It’s cheerful, inviting people closer, and says you’re extroverted and interesting; it doesn’t smell like ‘Mr. Serious’, but rather someone who knows how to have fun in good company. It seems Natura replicated the philosophy of Carolina Herrera’s 212, but less raucous and more elegant. It highlights the jovial apple and rounds off notes that could be boring. It’s great for ages 17 to 40+, for work, dates, or family gatherings. It’s not for impressing, but it gives a good image. The downside is that the projection is standard.
-
Pabloufum
I bought it at a good price and it lives up to the good reviews. It’s more formal than casual, blending fresh and warm. The first thing I notice is the green apple and cognac, giving it an acidic, aged, and distinctive touch. It smells like that apple pancake burnt with liquor. Then, patchouli and musk appear timidly. Longevity is medium; it reappears occasionally. The trail is medium-low. It works well for the office or meetings, and I think it performs better in temperate or cool climates.
-
c_canabal
If I had known about this perfume before entering the fragrance world, it would probably be my only scent. I see it as perfect as a signature fragrance for its versatility and pleasant aroma. I own it, and although I don’t use it often, when I do, I can’t stop rubbing my forearm against my nose to enjoy it.
-
Syrius
Natura has surprised me with several perfumes. Upon spraying, the apple blends well with a fresh liquor (not alcoholic), very well executed. Minutes later, clean lavender appears, but the declared pink pepper doesn’t shine, and if they added musk and cedar, it’s not noticeable; I think it lacks a note with more weight. Although it didn’t blow my mind, my wife was so taken by it that she asked what I was wearing. For the higher-priced line, I expected more projection. On skin, it lasts moderate hours; on clothes, it goes over six hours but doesn’t project. I expected performance like its sibling Essencial Oud, which is a marvel. Note: it’s not warm or woody as claimed; it’s fresh, fruity, and floral. Versatile.
-
jusotoma
I was gifted two Natura decants, and one of them was this; I didn’t expect so much and I’ve liked it immensely. It smells super masculine, alcoholic yet fresh. I thought it would be purely nocturnal due to the notes, but it’s versatile and easy to wear. Excellent proposition from Natura.
-
Eletus
Upon spraying, it smells fruity, with an alcoholic spirit and something fresh and green. It seems strange, but it becomes refreshing, perhaps due to the lavender and ginger giving a clean air. It’s friendly and won’t clash due to the scent. Perfect for work; although it has alcoholic notes, they are well-blended and not as boozy as others. Special for meetings or night outs, seductive and fun. It can be a workhorse. I’ve tried several from Natura, and this is the best in composition; it leans designer and moves away from the traditional catalogue of vanillas, tonka, amber, cardamom, and tobacco that get tiring. I have a Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy on hand, and the resemblance is very close; I’d say 85-90%. If you’re looking for a long-lasting inspiration, it’s a good option. Well done to Natura for bringing perfumes with organic alcohols and recyclable materials, in line with their eco-friendly ethos. Tiens!

byrgertidesson
I’ve tried all Natura perfumes, some gifted, others because my girlfriend sells them and passes me decants… Of all, this is the best. Certainly, it resembles Polo Double Black, but to my nose, this Exclusives feels better with noticeable spicy touches. Despite the name, I consider it very versatile; I can’t imagine wearing it in tracksuit bottoms or at the gym. Due to the pink pepper, I see it more for autumn/winter, enduring the less hot days of spring. The drawback is projection and longevity: when I tried Essencial Oud and Essencial Intenso, I got the idea that that line is ‘beast mode’, without being bad, this is well below those two. (7.5/10)
-
Gastonhee
Rich fragrance! Among the men’s scents in my collection, the most normal one. It’s for 30+, I see it as versatile for any season; it won’t blow your head off but it delivers, it’s yielding, projects well, and you’ll receive some compliments. Natura never disappoints.
-
JeanSato
What a surprise! If they had given me a blind test, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind that it’s from the catalogue; that doesn’t take away its merit; it’s up to the level of a designer. If I use two words: virile and intoxicating. It’s very masculine and addictive; you’d use it daily. The opening is spicy, citrusy, and alcoholic; for a moment, it reminded me of the classic Drakkar Noir of the 80s; I’m not saying it resembles it, but the fresh citrus evoked that memory. The opening is an irreverent appetiser of cognac and green apple, tempered with very present cardamom. After a few minutes, pink pepper and lavender make their way in, well-balanced; the latter is usually the protagonist but doesn’t stand out here. After hours, patchouli and musk give sensuality and continue thus. It’s versatile, clean, and seductive, for the office or dates. Projection is very good, trail is moderate. I recommend it for special events and daily life; no one wearing it will go unnoticed; you’ll receive compliments. The age range is from 20, but tastes break genres, so to whoever likes it, congratulations. I give it an 8/10.
-
Billy Ramita
Very rich, spicy and boozy, more suited to evening wear. At first it reminds me of Chanel’s Allure PH, but as it dries down it blends F Black with Burberry London: the base of the former with the sensuous semi-sweet tobacco of the latter. Longevity isn’t its strong suit, though the projection is mid-range.
-
Stvincent
Exquisite. An boozy opening with a very warm, tobacco-like dry down. The downside is the poor longevity on skin: it lasts 4-6 hours on clothes.
-
Leoquev
Very rich, in the style of D&G The One. A great budget alternative. I was surprised by the scent and quality; I would buy it again. Natura makes excellent perfumes.
-
Juanpasiones
Fruity and boozy opening, fun, youthful and energising. As it dries down, that exquisite honeyed (ambered) touch of tobacco, similar to D&G The One. Soft trail; you need to apply quite a bit. Pleasant scent and highly recommended. Good value for money, sometimes on discount in the catalogue. Ideal for personal use after a good shower, time with friends, family gatherings or work meetings.
-
brugman
I found it smelling samples at a Natura consultant and chose this without a doubt. Exquisite aroma, fresh, with a delicate sweet and spicy touch; a perfect combination. It lasts 4-5 hours, but you notice when the wind carries it away. I use it in winter and love it, but it’s also excellent for summer, day or night. I’m going to set aside several designer perfumes to treasure this gem. Longevity: 7/10, Trail: 7/10, Scent: 10/10.

Paolo Kallfkurá
A youthful and fresh Eau de Parfum, somewhat rare for its category. Fresh, fruity, boozy and elegant aroma. Suitable for hot or cold days, day or night, and works very well for special occasions. It’s not aggressive, but addictive and sensual. The heart has floral and sweet touches, finishing with warm and exotic woods, surely due to being Brazilian and using essences from its biodiversity. Recommended for sharing with friends, night outings and parties. I like it and there are few with these qualities. Best regards.

astrocito
Could be defined as ‘young elegance’, although it is an ageless fragrance. Very rich and praised by them: apple, cognac and floral. You must try it!
-
Pichikato
Definitely not vanilla, tobacco, incense, aquatic or citrus. I define it as fruity, fresh and sweet (the first note is apple). Suitable for a young audience as it’s not strong or heavy; it fits perfectly in a relaxed yet professional office environment. Lasts 4 hours on skin and 6 on clothes after reapplication.

My previous review is of the Argentine formula that I have finished. But noticing differences between editions of the classic Essencial, I reviewed this one I got in a swap: exclusive Essencial made in Brazil in 2012. It is very similar to the one I had before, intense, deep, sweet like raisin plum, with beautiful complexity. The one I opened this year, exclusive Essencial from Argentina 2016, has differences although the structure is the same: it is more woody, I feel fewer flowers and it is less deep, more volatile and less clinging to the skin (the other is impressive how long it lasts). But the aromatic structure is respected. I was sceptical about reformulations, but this is evident. Perhaps it is due to the increase in the dollar in Argentina since 2016; inputs raised costs but the price could not match, so they considered adjustments.
The exclusive Essencial from Natura is the first of the line. The citrus predominates, at least on my nose, with a sweet touch of magnolia. It reminds me a lot of the Light Blue by Dolce&Gabbana. It is fresh and warm at the same time, and very persistent. It lasts a long time on my skin. The bottle is delicate, with curved lines and a crystal gradient that goes from transparent with a soft yellow touch, through purple, until becoming intense at the base. A fragrance I love and recommend trying.
I bought the exclusive Essencial blindly following the organoleptic description. My first test was at noon and it was a party of fresh and sweet citrus, then oranges and mandarins, like eating orange candies and feeling that juice in powder. Those sugared citrus radiate life, freshness, and joy. Then the heart appeared: I felt the magnolia (it’s not my flower), intense sandalwood and musk that made me a bit dizzy at first, but I gave it another chance and the sweetness returned more gentle and delicious. It doesn’t represent me, but if I were younger I would choose it. Sweet, sugared, vivacious, cheerful but intense citrus. Good longevity, delicious from start to finish. I do not recommend it for very early morning due to its trail on my skin, it is a matter of taste and pH. Nevertheless, I recommend it; I think it is a beautiful creation of pure ingredients, a quality that radiates a good spring day. Correction: I used it again and needed it to be open; it softened a lot, all notes in harmony. Although the citrus are delicious, it upsets my stomach, I have a complicated nose.
I received a bottle from Brazil with the new flask just two days ago, and what a pleasure to rediscover the scent that fell in love with six years ago. This is the one that made me put the exclusive Essencial on my ‘forever’ list. Compared to the current Argentine version, this feels much more citrusy and light, as if they had lowered the concentration of the base notes. This new one has a very clear musk and even a soft vetiver. In the heart, I find back that moderate sweetness of raisin plum that I like so much, the effect of a ripe and well-blended rose. It could be similar to Belle d’Opium, I will compare it with my miniature. It is my fourth bottle, my third review… What a weight. I used to be sad it didn’t please me so much, and now I rediscover that love.
It is beautiful and every time I wear it I receive compliments. I highly recommend it; it is of very good quality, as is the whole Essencial line.
I’ve been wearing it for five days on mild days. The magnolia is the protagonist, a sweet and cheerful flower that Natura makes sparkle. I sense a bittersweet nectar from the fruit, the flower, and the citrus, and there I perceive an apple like the one in the humour of my life (just the apple), I think due to my alkaline pH. It puts me in a good mood, and also those who smell it.
I think the bottle doesn’t do it justice; it should have been silver or crystal, because here the star is the magnolia. At first, the citrus lasts about 10 minutes, then comes the magnolia, beautiful, with a discreet floral accompaniment. In the dry down, sandalwood and vetiver dominate. What a lovely perfume, it has three of my favourite flowers. Soft trail and moderate longevity, perfect for daytime use on mild summer or spring days.
Simple and exquisite, I truly love it.
What a exquisite fragrance, another great hit from Natura. It starts citrusy, then the magnolia takes over, clean, fresh, and very feminine, doing all its splendour. The longevity isn’t the best (they surely reformulated), but it is simply enchanting and super versatile for any temperature or time of day.
The exclusive Essencial stays true to its promise: a juicy mandarin and sweet floral fruity blend. The musk gives it that clean scent, while the sandalwood adds a warm touch without being cloying. I see it as super versatile for all seasons, powerful yet casual and semi-formal; ideal for work, noticeable but not intrusive. It lasts six to eight hours with a moderate trail. Great value for money. Everyone will love it, both the wearer and those who smell it; it has no flaws.
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.
I detect more fruits and citrus than flowers. It’s fresh, clean and versatile. The acidic fruity part is always there!
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 find it exquisite, but the made in Argentina edition lacks trail and projection.
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 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.
It’s delightful; it could pass for something more expensive thanks to the blend of fruity scents.
Whenever I wear it, people always ask what I’m wearing. It’s floral, fruity, fresh and sparkling. Very delicious!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What a lovely, feminine perfume to wear! The scent is super pleasant and everyone loves it. It’s very versatile and refined.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
