At first, it seemed too strong, with that cheap alcohol smell, like spilled whisky, but over time I discovered its true charm. My girlfriend, who has always loved it, confirmed it’s incredible. After letting it air out for two months, the alcohol vanished, and now that rich, masculine, woody essence with a hint of honey really shines through. Very formal. Not for everyday wear, but when you’re dressed to the kill. 10/10. By the way, the same trick worked with other Natura perfumes that I found too alcoholic, so I’ll leave you with that tip.

At first, it didn’t convince me at all, but once it dries down, it smells absolutely fantastic. It’s not something to wear without being dressed up; you need to be wearing your outfit.

CristianL
The best of the entire Essential line. It surpasses the vanilla one and stands shoulder to shoulder with the regular Oud. It’s exquisite, with plenty of pepper, ideal for going out partying in winter.
-
NachoJurado
Without a doubt, the best in the Essential line by far. It corrects that less appealing aspect of classic Oud and makes it more wearable, without losing its seriousness. It’s a perfume monster.

A perfume of exquisite quality. For going well-dressed in autumn or winter, there’s nothing to envy from designer brands. The longevity is around six hours, and you’ll surely receive compliments. Along with Palo Santo and the regular Oud, it’s among the brand’s best. I recommend it without hesitation.

Rick Azafranado
A masterpiece from Natura. It smells like a niche fragrance but is easy to wear in winter. It’s a soft Oud with the spices it promises. It’s perfect for anyone aged 30 to 35 or older.

I bought it because of the reviews and because I wanted to try Natura, specifically the Essential Oud. At first, it didn’t convince me much, but after using it several times, I liked it. It bears very little resemblance to Tato; in fact, it’s softer. The projection isn’t the best and the longevity is average, but for cold climates, it’s superb.

Natura Essential Oud Pimenta is a fragrance I took a long time to understand, but today it’s one of my favourites for dressing elegantly in winter. Note, it’s not for a hoodie, but for casual wear like a leather jacket or something more formal. At first, you might think it’s difficult because it doesn’t smell like the usual stuff, but that’s what makes it unique. It has wood, red fruits, and rose, where the pepper just amplifies the rest. It’s fresh yet warm. Give it time; it’s a hidden gem. For the price it has, it’s the best. Plus, people have given me many positive compliments, never negative. Final note: 8/10.

The best of the Essential Ouds. Truly elegant, without the syrupy smell of classic Oud or the plastic note of vanilla. If you’re looking for something elegant at a good price, this is it. It’s more nocturnal, though it looks very good in formal work environments. Excellent performance.

Enrique José
Carajooooo! That’s the first impression when applying it. It’s accessible niche, very cheap, and of high quality. I don’t detect the pepper, but rather fruity notes, especially red fruits. It’s sweet, potent, and intoxicating. If you’re used to commercial perfumes like Phantom or One Million, don’t be alarmed; there’s nothing here like ‘Nutella’; it’s for trained noses accustomed to dense, special perfumes. Its older brother, the Essential Oud, is an atomic bomb, and this isn’t much different: it lasts a minimum of eight hours on the skin, projects strongly for over two hours, and lasts days on clothes. As a collector, having these two gems makes me very happy.

I noticed this on someone else and it reminded me of Bentley for Men Intense. When tested together, they follow the same trail, but Bentley’s leather note is noticeably missing here. Despite the differences, it’s an excellent alternative as it costs half the price and the house quality is good. I recommend testing it before buying; it’s not one of those loud, easy scents that everyone likes. It’s darker and less versatile. I find it great for cold or fresh weather on semi-formal occasions. Totally masculine with good potency and longevity; it projects quite well with just a few sprays. Very well done by Natura here, excellent value for money. 09/10

Without a doubt, it’s difficult to wear, but it’s spectacular. It’s like opening an old book archived in a library.

This perfume is a hidden gem. The first thing upon spraying is to take a step back; it hits you with a punch of red fruits and a dark base like wood soaked in alcohol. Super potent and intoxicating, but by no means easy to wear. It’s not for daily use; quite the opposite, it’s totally distinct, with an Arabic touch of oud and spices. Compliments? Pfft, from my collection, it’s one of the ones that has generated the most praise, largely due to its potency and the uniqueness of the scent. The last comment I received was: ‘Oh, that scent of a man you left, I love it’.

This perfume is a hidden gem. Upon application, you need to step back as it delivers a punch of red berries over a dark backdrop, like wood soaked in alcohol. It’s incredibly potent and intoxicating, but not easy to wear daily. It’s totally different, with that distinct Arabic touch from the oud and spices. Compliments? Pfft! It’s one of the ones that has garnered the most praise in my collection, thanks to its power and unique scent. The last comment was: ‘Oh, that manly scent you left, I love it.’

More than roses, it smells of red fruits. I think there is a Mistral Ice red fruit version and it smells very similar. I expected nothing from this fragrance and was pleasantly surprised; it’s one of my favourites and the one visitors like most when I show them my collection. A scent with a slight powdery nuance and red fruits; that’s what it is for me. A unisex masculine fragrance between fresh, spicy and woody; I wouldn’t wear it in extreme heat. Expect compliments.

It is a fragrance that has nothing to do with catalogue scents; it smells sophisticated and utterly unique. It is not versatile, though among the three Oud Essences, it is the freshest. I see it for elegant attire, on formal or special occasions; this is zero casual. The rose feels very rich, a note often associated with femininity but here achieved to perfection, and I feel comfortable wearing it. Does it smell old? Perhaps, depending on your olfactory experience; novices or the masses might detect an aged scent, but those with a seasoned nose will appreciate it better. Unless you adore rose, oriental scents, and the unconventional, I recommend buying the 25ml pack of the three. I would not finish a 100ml bottle of this fragrance in five years. By the way, I do not detect any pepper; it would be more accurate to call it ‘Oud Essence Rose’.

This is a perfume that, far from being a catalogue scent, smells sophisticated and unusual. I don’t find it versatile. If it’s true that among the three Essential Ouds it’s the freshest, I consider it a fragrance for elegant dressing, for some formal or special occasion. This is 0% casual. The rose note feels very rich; a note sometimes associated with femininity, but in this fragrance, I feel it’s executed very well and I feel comfortable wearing it. Does it smell old? Perhaps it does. It depends on your accumulated olfactory experience. Novices and the masses might smell ‘old’ (or ‘old lady’), while noses with some olfactory journey will appreciate it better. Unless you love roses, somewhat oriental and unusual scents, I recommend buying the pack of the three 25ml bottles. I won’t finish a 100ml bottle of this fragrance in five years. By the way, I don’t smell the pepper at all. It would be more like Essential Oud Rosa.

I won’t be buying it again. It smells old; it’s for a gentleman of about 50 years old. That scent stings right up to the brain; it scared my wife with that smell. She said it smelled like an old man, an inauguration and a closing ceremony.

As the saying goes, ‘to each their own nose’. Truthfully, among the three Essential Ouds, this is the one I liked the least. I don’t know if the perfume is defective (although the box states the expiry date is 2026), if it’s just like this, or if it was stored poorly; I’d even say I didn’t like it at all. I bought the set of the three ouds in 20ml; I don’t know if that matters. On my skin, it smells like chemical bath water, like the disinfectant liquid used in gas station restrooms, giving a very strong chemical smell, and the worst part is that this smell persists throughout its entire longevity. It’s impossible for me to bring my nose close to smell it. I suppose it’s my skin or my nose, because all the comments I read and the reviews I’ve seen are good. For now, I’ve kept it in its box, and it will stay there; perhaps I’ll give it another chance later.

As an expert says, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. Of the three Essential Ouds, this is the one I liked the least. I’m not sure if it’s faulty (the box says it expires in 2026) or if it’s just like this, though I’d go so far as to say I didn’t like it at all. I bought the set of three 20 ml bottles; I’m not sure if that makes a difference. On my skin, it smells like chemical bath water, like the disinfectant found at petrol stations, with a very strong chemical scent that lingers for the entire duration. It’s impossible to get close to smell it. I suppose it’s my skin or my nose, as everything I read says it’s good. For now, I’m keeping it in the box, perhaps giving it another chance down the line.

imnotlarry
You will hardly find a perfume with oud so well crafted and composed for such a low price. My favourite from the line. It’s not a sweet perfume, save for a hint of patchouli or another note, but mostly in the base. Here, the spicy notes predominate with the oud in the background.
-
charlie85
I took the 3x25ml pack featuring the classic Oud and the Vanilla. Of the three, this was my favourite; I find it easier to wear, with a fresh, fruity touch. However, be warned: I cannot recommend this Natura line. Yes, the perceived quality is brutal and you pay very little for something so good, but at 35, I feel it is too serious and formal. I’d only wear it for special events, and for those, I already have better options. In short: bulletproof quality but hard to style. EDIT 2025: quality has dropped, 3/10.

A beautiful fragrance… lovers of oud will adore it. It is less sweet than its sister, Essencial Oud, much fresher and spicier. It is neither piercing nor cloying. Although it is synthetic and not ‘niche’, it is a beauty. I do not recommend smelling it from the bottle as it smells very different once applied. As it dries down, you notice very subtle sweet notes blending with a high-quality, elegant, and refined aroma, especially virile.
-
Ander7R
It does not seem like a catalogue perfume; it is very pleasant and has designer airs. You can tell this house is putting enthusiasm into the quality of its fragrances in this line. The performance is quite good. Although I think it should be called Essencial Roses & Red Fruits, as it literally smells like that on my skin: a combination of roses and red fruits that is delicious and remains masculine. It bears no resemblance to the Essencial Oud; at some point, as a friend said, it could remind one of Oud Lemon Mint, but it is only a fleeting glimpse of a few seconds; they are very different.

Did you not take a shower? my daughter asked. ‘Does it smell terrible?’ ‘No, it smells good, but weird. It smells like body odour, but good’. To my nose, it is much more oudy than the rest of the Essencial Oud; more woody and animalistic, I would say more than Kouros or Weil pour Homme. I cannot help but think of wild, bestial sex when smelling it. Perhaps, this is what Tom of Finland from ELDO should have been. PS: I am testing it again, yes, it is oud and roses. It feels that if it were bottled differently and sold under an exclusive distribution brand (‘niche’), many would speak wonders. Thinking about it… Natura products do not have good distribution in the USA and Europe, so we can indeed say they are ‘niche fragrances’:)

Gio Hilfiger
The best version of the OUD trilogy; I will not speak of notes or technical details, simply to say that I feel it is the most serious and mature version; undoubtedly the best from the house.

c_canabal
I was gifted a sample and it caught my attention. I might buy it. Am I the only one who found it reminiscent of Mancera’s Aoud Lemon Mint?

mandreozzi
In the opening, it is a clone of Al-Rehab’s oud & rose, only later it becomes citrusy.

I bought a discovery set that included Essencial Oud, Oud Pimienta, and Oud Vainilla, all for men. All three fragrances are truly exquisite. I, without having a refined sense of smell, however, in my collection of over 200 fragrances between niche and commercial, I dare to say they are jewels. The Essencial Oud Pimienta is very, very similar to Initio Side Effect. One in each hand and after 10 minutes, the difference is almost non-existent; they are very similar. I would say the great Veronica Kato was inspired by Side Effect to create this beauty. Believe me, buy it blind, you will not regret it. Occasions? Definitely. Moments? At night, a romantic dinner, it is a safe bet.

I bought it some time ago; it is a delight. The liquid is an intense coffee, giving a tickle in the nose like pepper and drawing attention. It creates a curious sense of serenity; when I truly wear it, I feel serious and powerful, with an incredible mood capable of laughing at anything. I use it for special occasions, not for work, as making it monotonous would be an insult to this perfume; it is for when you want to go somewhere safe. It is soft to perceive, as others have told me, but it smells exquisite enough to make people ask what it is. Totally recommended, if you are well-macho western style. An aroma you can wear with any rock-style outfit, uff, a delight!! Highly recommended. It lasts many days on clothes.

I found it similar to the Essencial Oud, I do not remember if identical but it is very much alike… It is not an aroma I dislike, but I find it cloying and oppressive that its classic version is so persistent. Definitely not something to buy blind.

I found it similar to the Essential Oud; I don’t recall if it’s identical, but it smells very much alike. It’s not a scent I dislike, but I find it overwhelming and suffocating that the classic version is so persistent. Definitely not something to buy blindly.

Another gem from Natura’s Oud line. I own the Essential, Vanilla Oud, and this one; it’s the most complex with the best performance. Upon application, it smells citrusy and spicy (a characteristic that lingers throughout), with the piripoca note very prominent. I also detect apple, reminiscent of cider or kombucha – for those unfamiliar, it’s a very tasty alcoholic ferment. After ten minutes, the red fruits, woods, and a very balsamic character emerge. You can sense the leather, rose, vetiver, and coriander; the other notes are less distinct. The oud is barely noticeable, but for just $40 more, you can’t complain. It strongly reminds me of Lataffa’s Badee al Oud in its final phase (sharing all its notes except the nut). It’s a catalogue fragrance that could easily cost three times as much and still be justified, superior to many mainstream designer scents sold like plain bread without half the care. The more perfumes I discover, the clearer it becomes that I don’t need to buy any designer fragrances today. In short: longevity exceeding ten hours, lasting days on clothes, spectacular aroma, magnificent sillage, it smells like an expensive perfume, and no one will notice you’ve paid only two Andrew Jacksons for what you’re wearing.

Another gem from the Natura house, from the Oud line I own the Essence, Vanilla Oud, and this one, being the most complex and with the best performance. On the opening, I detect a somewhat citrusy and spicy note (which persists throughout) with the peppery note very prominent. Apple also appears, reminding me of cider or kombucha, for those who do not know, a fermented alcoholic beverage and very tasty. After about 10 minutes, all the red fruits, woods, and it becomes very balsamic emerge. I can smell the leather, rose, vetiver, coriander, and of the other notes not much. The Oud is barely perceptible, but come on, for 40 dollars more one cannot ask for much. It reminds me quite a bit of Lataffa’s Badee Al Oud in its final phase (it shares all its notes except the walnut). It is a catalogue fragrance but one that could perfectly cost three times more and its price would be justified, better than many mainstream designer scents sold like bread where half the care was not put into them. Every day I learn more about perfumes, smelling works of art like this house produces, it becomes clearer to me that I do not need to buy any designer scents of what is created nowadays. In summary, a duration that passes 10 hours, lasts days on clothes, its scent is spectacular and its sillage is magnificent, it smells like an expensive perfume and no one will notice you paid two Andrew Jacksons for what you are wearing.

Picked this up recently and it’s a real treat. It opens with a spicy note that isn’t sharp, but simply wonderful, with black pepper taking centre stage. As it dries down, the sweetness and oud emerge, yet the pepper remains present. It’s a fantastic fragrance; it lasts for ages and is perfect for going out in mild or cold weather, whether dressed up or down. I already own the Essential Oud and the two are completely different; wearing one on each hand creates a stunning contrast. Without a doubt, I would buy it again.

Bought it recently and absolutely loved it. It opens with a very spicy note, yet it’s not sharp or unpleasant; on the contrary, the pepper smells fantastic. As it dries down, the sweet and oud notes emerge, though the pepper remains present. It’s a fantastic fragrance with excellent longevity, perfect for temperate or cold weather, suitable for both formal and informal occasions. I also own Essential Oud, and they are very different; I tested them on each wrist and the contrast is obvious. Without a doubt, I would buy it again.

I pity it, unisex, a bit bitter, it has an air like vintage. I can’t distinguish its DNA. I love its spicy freshness, I perceive the iris note well and that’s probably why it has my heart from the very first moment. On my nose, I feel it very far from what is in fashion. I want to own it, even if just in the mini version, 25 ml.
Finally tried this and its male version. I was surprised at first, but then it lost its magic. For the first ten minutes, the pepper stood out with something chocolatey and mentholated, reminding me of distant memories of the Essential Mirra masculine (every nose is different), plus a somewhat fruity oud reminiscent of the traditional one. Then I felt the sweetness intensify, along with the floral side and the vintage dusty touch, and that’s where I didn’t like it. Not one to buy blindly.
Finally, I managed to try this and its male version. I was surprised for the first few minutes, then it lost its magic. For the first ten minutes, the pepper stood out with something like chocolatey and mentholated, which gave me a distant memory of the Essential Myrrh male (if you already know, nothing to do with the reviews I see, but well, every nose). Also a medium-fruity oud that reminded me from afar of traditional oud. Then I felt it boosted in sweetness, stronger in its floral part and powdery leaning towards vintage; I didn’t like that part. It’s not something to buy blindly.
It’s a beauty!! The opening is pure pepper, but the dry-down is wonderful and lasts quite a while. It’s nothing more than a contrast, but it’s beautiful. More sparkly and less sober than Essence Oud Vanilla.
I have a decant and I thought it was an excellent fragrance, very unisex, lasts quite a while and has a moderate sillage. On my nose, at the beginning, I smell a lot of citrus with pepper and cardamomo; in its middle stage, the cardamomo persists, I notice the palo santo, cedar, myrrh and an amber base with a soft oud and a nice leather (although it’s not declared) embraced by the oud and amber, and this middle stage persists almost until the end, leaving a spiced amber with cardamomo and a soft oud. I think it’s a 10 out of 10, I wouldn’t change anything about it.
It is such a sacred scent that when I wear it, I feel surrounded by a halo of mysticism. A bomb of spices with ceremonial flowers; the pepper stands out, adding audacity and spark. I don’t see copal among the notes; perhaps the alchemists of the fragrance created a similar note through the fusion of the other resins. And yes, it brings me memories of incense and copal ceremonies carried out and witnessed in the American continent. This ceremonial note is not dominant; it is felt at times, fusing with the beautiful aroma of iris, pepper, oud, myrrh, white benzoin and jasmine. Definitely, this fragrance is not for every taste, but for those who know how to appreciate the elegance of wearing precious and magical elements that nature gives us. Would you dare to wear it?
On my skin, it’s a blend of wet and smoky woods, without any sweetness, featuring spicy, mentholated and herbaceous notes. I have mixed feelings: it’s not my favourite, yet I love applying it. In my warm climate, it develops beautifully. It’s a creative gamble by Natura that invites you to discover aromas rarely found in catalogue perfumes. The reason I like wearing it is that it lasts a long time, pairs well with cotton clothes, and nobody, absolutely nobody, will smell it up close.
Essential Oud Pepper on my skin feels like an amalgam of pure woods, between damp and smoky, with no sweetness and some peppery notes that are slightly spicy, mentholated and herbaceous. I have mixed feelings about this fragrance, as it’s not one of my favourites, yet I love applying it. I live in an area with a permanently warm climate, and I believe it develops very well in this environment. I consider it a creative gamble by Natura that one should try at some point to perceive things that are not usually felt in catalogue perfumes. That’s all. But I insist, I love applying it. The reason is that it lasts very well, goes great with cotton clothes, and absolutely nobody will smell this in an immediate environment.
I love how it sits on my skin. I perceive it as a woody, powdery fragrance. From the start, the quality feels far superior to its price. That spicy opening, with a sweet yet soft touch—nothing strident or cloying; the saffron and its rough vibe are noticeable, that typical smell of market corridors selling chillies and spices. Then comes the dry-down, my favourite part, with a slightly animal sensation; suddenly I catch that stable note, but not of horses, rather of unicorns. It smells like unicorn sweat (bloody good stuff) LOL, and it’s that subtle, barely perceptible touch that I love most for how it sits on the skin. It doesn’t smell like a feminine perfume at all; I’d bet you could pass it off as unisex due to that powdery dry-down texture, but the truth is it suits mature men very well. As for women, well, let me tell you the truth, not every woman will feel comfortable with this, mmm, no. I think those women accustomed to semi-animal, woody, and deliciously spicy scents will be comfortable with this Essencial Oud Pepper Fem. How refreshing to find such bold proposals in a catalogue house at an excellent price when on discount. Natura fragrances are getting better and better.
This perfume disappointed me greatly. The scent felt overwhelming and unpleasant to me. I understand it aims for elegance and sophistication, but it simply reminds me of incense. It’s not for everyone; it’s made for those who enjoy spicy aromas. I don’t find many subtleties, unlike other fragrances in the Essencial line.
I absolutely love how this settles on my skin. At first, it smells of dusty wood with a sweet, spicy touch—soft, not cloying; you can detect the saffron and that rough, market-hall vibe with chillies. Then comes the dry-down, my favourite part: a subtle animal note, like a unicorn stable (holy cow, what great grass), which makes it noticeable on the skin without seeming like a feminine perfume. It’s unisex due to that texture, but ideal for mature men; women will only tolerate it if they’re used to semi-animal and spicy scents. What a pleasure to find bold proposals at Natura at such a good price; the brand keeps improving.

I love it, I adore it, I’m fascinated. The dry-down is a delight.
Finally acquired it; here in Argentina it’s discontinued. The opening doesn’t fascinate me; too much lime and cardamom, strange at first, reminding me of a repellent or a Vick VapoRub from another brand, but later it becomes much more spiced. On my skin, the jasmine settles with a musky touch and soft oud wood; it reaches a slightly spicy note but very mild. It doesn’t drive me mad nor disappoint me, although the opening stinks, luckily it dissipates quickly giving way to a scent I approve of.
Essential Oud Pepper is a catalogue proposal, Natura’s foray into niche to create experiences rather than mass-produce. I would describe it as feminine, warm, and spiced, dominated by pink pepper, lemon, and myrrh. I like it, but it’s not my favourite from the mini Oud collection; I consider it more versatile than Oud Vanilla. Projection and longevity are average; it’s pleasant, sober, and oriented towards the trendy Arab style. Due to the pepper load, it’s spicy and the most festive in the family. It doesn’t resemble Luna Ruby. Important: do not buy blindly, as it might not suit you if you prefer gourmands, sweet florals, or sweets. Even if you like traditional Essential Oud, there is a distance between them. Who will like it: lovers of spicy and powdery perfumes.
I don’t recommend buying it blindly as it’s not conventional. It’s very spicy, warm and woody. From my experience and what I’ve heard, it varies hugely depending on the skin. I bought a travel size because a friend liked it, but then I hated how it sat on me; I feel the pepper is overwhelming. On blotter paper, it seems more pleasant, with more floral and citrus notes. For now, I’ll combine it with other perfumes and wouldn’t buy it again, although it is very special.

Another majestic move from Natura with a terrible cheap oud that lasts a nightmare and smells excellent. Applause for this great perfume that I would buy a thousand times more. Ideal for layering with a calm citrus scent.
It smells like a witch, very mystical, perhaps due to the myrrh and palo santo; if you’ve ever incensed your home, it smells like that, but delicious, not negative. It’s not for daily wear; I’ll use it at night when it cools down to be in femme-fatal mode. It’s not for those seeking typical fresh perfumes, but it’s not overwhelming; the oud is integrated and doesn’t weigh it down. If you love gourmands, you won’t like it. I bought it blindly on offer for 400 pesos and it was a bargain. It’s a fragrance nobody will guess is from a catalogue; it seems super expensive and evolves very well.
Marvel. Spiced, talc-like, and sophisticated. Although they say it’s feminine, I perceive it as more masculine or unisex. Versatile for any day, though it shines in cool weather and at night. It captivates with its mystery and magic. From my experience, the male version is equally good in quality but takes a different path. Recommended for those seeking something unconventional and non-commercial.

Being from the catalogue, no one will guess it; it seems incredibly expensive. It evolves beautifully.
No oud at all; it’s elegant, full of iris and myrrh. Unisex? Absolutely.
Unique scent; the pepper takes charge, though myrrh, cedar, and palo santo are noticeable. It’s a spice bomb not for the faint-hearted; it lasts me hours and even into the next day. I only wear it in cool weather and outdoors, otherwise it feels overwhelming. I received it as a gift, but I wouldn’t have bought it myself. Ideal for fans of spicy aromas or the trendy Arab style.
A very singular aroma without a doubt. Pepper dominates, though myrrh, cedar and palo santo are also distinguishable. It’s a spice bomb not suitable for the faint-hearted. To my nose, the pepper lingers for hours, even the next day. I only use it in cold weather and open spaces, because otherwise it gives me a headache; it’s very strong. I was gifted it, but I wouldn’t have bought it and wouldn’t buy it again. However, for those who love these aromas or trendy Arabic scents, they might enjoy it greatly.
