  Memories of Armani Code Eau de Parfum. 75% similar, narcotic commercial, opulent and familiar aroma and trail, tasty and amazing, excellent presentation, lasts very well for its good 8 hours projecting for the first 3 and remaining more intimate until the 12/14 hours. On clothes it’s a seduction weapon that reminds me of the clubs of the 90s and cinemas, where aromas of tobacco, sweets, resins, and woods mixed. I’m testing it in full winter and I think it will go phenomenally; I imagine this fragrance shining in half-seasons on elegant and casual nights, catching attention. The peppers are very present in an ambered and tobaccoed dance of pipe and polished woods, there’s some leather or suede strolling through some vintage bar, rum that comes and goes while the pipe smoke converges and mingles with a sensation of (Chiclet’s?). Towards the end the balms accompany, orchestrating the chords that from the start were under the protection of the Myrrh and that warm, friendly Opopanax from ancient times, modernised. This review is based on my experience without interaction. Later I’ll comment on my appreciations regarding reactions and its full performance in different environments. My first perfume from this house along with Essencial Mirra, and you know the old Arabic proverb: if it happens once it might never happen again, if it happened twice, sit down and wait for the third which will surely come. Bravo Natura!! Verônica and Antoine 🤝

  Armani Code EDP Memories: a 75% similarity, a narcotic and commercial scent with an opulent, familiar sillage that is very pleasing and surprising. The box is top-notch; it lasts about 8 hours, projecting strongly for the first 3, then becoming intimate until 12 or 14. On clothes, it is a seduction weapon that brings back memories of the 90s, nightclubs and cinemas where tobacco, sweets, resinous and woody notes mingled. I am testing it in the middle of winter and I think it will be a success; I imagine it will shine in mid-season on elegant or casual nights, catching attention. The peppercorns are very present in an ambered and tobaccoed dance of pipe tobacco and polished woods, with a bit of leather or suede strolling along a vintage bar counter, rumblings coming and going while pipe vapours converge with a chewing gum sensation. In the end, balms accompany the chords that were underneath the Myrrh from the start, and that warm, friendly Opopanax of old times, but modernised. This review is just my experience without interaction. I will comment later on reactions and performance in different environments. My first perfume from this house along with Essencial Myrrh, and as the Arabic proverb says: if it passes once, it may never come again; if it passes twice, sit down and wait for the third, which will surely arrive.

  Rich fragrance and ideal for cold weather, it has an air of Homem Neo but sweeter and cozier, with more body. The scent is of a sweet, ambered vanilla that loses sweetness progressively. It projects for about an hour and a half, until it recedes and stays close to the skin for 5 hours. Scent: 9/10, Versatility: 7/10, Projection: 7/10, Longevity: 7/10, Value for money: 7/10.

  I arrived in Argentina yesterday and went to try it today; what a rich fragrance, well masculine, leaning slightly towards unisex. It has an ambered and spiced aroma from start to finish, with a saffron floral note and other flowers well at the beginning that disappear quickly, maintaining a dry, creamy sweetness from the vanilla and woods that develops exquisitely over time on the skin. I don’t know how long it lasts as these are my first impressions, but it looks like it will last a long time and project well, without being heavy. I know I’ll buy it when I see it on promotion because I loved it, but it’s one of the most expensive in the Natura range, so I’m waiting for an offer. Finally, I would have liked the bottle to be 100 ml and not 90 ml to maintain the same size as the rest of the Essential line.

  After three years of buying Natura perfumes and owning thirty or more, I realised that most are almost identical. This unique essential smells quite like the Oud Essential and the Women’s Oud Vanilla, and has something similar to Homem Tato. From my recent purchases, Biografia Encounters is the same as Homem Especiarias. I’ve realised I’m throwing my money away.

  I bought it blind, but more blind than ever. In Argentina it was just released and there are almost no reviews to guide. I found a rich scent, but totally redundant in my collection. It is a spicy oriental, a bit sweet, ambered and woody. With almost no citrus at the start, the spices explode and immediately anyone who knows it will think of Bulgari MIB. I like how it evolves, letting the woods, cedar, myrrh, vanilla and amber be smelled. Obviously from the Natura line, the similarity with Homem Tato is noticeable, but without the cinnamon. From MIB it lacks the liquor note, nor the leather or tobacco that make it so distinctive, nor the tobacco and sweetness of the Spicebomb. Clearly all have their nuances, but the similarity is undeniable. Thumb down for reducing the presentation to 10 ml, thumb up for the slight improvement in packaging. It is an excellent alternative to MIB due to the far superior performance of Natura perfumes at a very acceptable price, especially if found on offer (I got it for about 25 USD at the exchange rate). It will go very well for low temperatures, although personally I use whatever I fancy at any time. The identity of the composition is always associated with older ages, but come on, who cares about those things? As is usual with Natura, its quality far exceeds its price. Recommended.

  I bought it blind, more blind than ever. In Argentina it has just launched and there are no reviews to guide me. It’s a spiced oriental, sweet, ambered, and woody. Almost no citrus at the start; the spices explode, and anyone who knows them will think of Bulgari MIB. I like how it evolves, revealing woods, cedar, myrrh, vanilla, and amber. The obvious similarity to Homem Tato from the Natura line is there, but without the cinnamon. It lacks the liquor, leather, and tobacco that make MIB distinctive, nor the tobacco and sweetness of Spicebomb. All have their nuances, but the resemblance is undeniable. Down a point for reducing the presentation to 10 ml, up a point for improving the packaging. It’s an excellent alternative to MIB thanks to Natura’s superior performance at a good price, especially if you catch it on offer (I got it for around $25 USD). It goes great with cold weather, although personally I use what I fancy at any time. The identity of the composition always suits older ages, but come on, who cares. As is usual with Natura, the quality far exceeds the price. Recommended.

  This is a review of a free sample I was given at an official Natura store. The scent is very masculine, ambered, something I recognise from others I own, and seemed quite adult. It has projection at the start but I didn’t feel it was very potent on my skin. Also, the smell makes me think of an older man, but it’s not a bad smell at all. I recommend it for going out at night, hopefully in spring or autumn, perhaps in winter but I think it lacks power (you have to spray it on clothes). That said, I’m not buying it.

  Totally redundant: it smells of myrrh, oud, and pepper. It’s as if you took those perfumes I mentioned, put them in a bottle, shook them up, and came out with a single essential oil.

  I tried it with high hopes, but it didn’t hit the spot: it shares traits with the other men’s fragrances in the range, the notes aren’t distinct, and it gives off a chemical laboratory vibe rather than botanicals. The base notes are common; you can tell it relies on a typical molecule. The only thing saving it are the earthy and herbal notes over the woods, which remind me of Natura Ekos Alma but devalued. I prefer the latter for being more complex and original. It’s very contemporary with an air of being a bit old-fashioned. It won’t fail if you’re looking for trail and longevity.

  They don’t work for me; they bring back memories of the sweet, warm perfumes my grandmothers and great-aunts used.

  Natura is starting to repeat itself in a scandalous way. This fragrance, although delicious, doesn’t escape the mould of most of the Essential line, but now it’s more expensive with terribly poor longevity and projection. I recommend Homem Neo; it has superior performance at a much more accessible price.

  It’s a blend between Essential Mirra and Oud, but with a sweet and clean touch. I perceive musk, nutmeg, and cinnamon (presumably the Ishpink), as well as amber and woods. It’s cosy and winter-appropriate, but I didn’t like it; nothing new.

  I am loyal to Natura Essential, specifically Oud, Mirra, and Palo Santo. When this new Essential came out at a promotional price, I bought it blindly due to my good experiences. I thought it would be a bomb because it’s a concentrate in 90ml… and it wasn’t. I found myself with a lower-quality clone of Natura Homem Neo. It’s the same aroma with more resins, but it doesn’t project as well. A generic scent within the Essential line; it disappointed me. I thought it would offer more performance, but I ended up with a bottle that mixes 78% Homem Neo and 25% Essential Mirra. A rip-off at the current price. Watch out! Natura is discontinuing Mirra in favour of this Essential, and Mirra is truly a very good perfume.

  Excellent fragrance, Brazilian niche perfumery. I disagree with some comments. It doesn’t resemble any other Essential and its quality is superior. It’s an artistic fragrance: balsamic, resinous, spicy, woody, and slightly sweet. On me, tonka bean, copaíba, vetiver, saffron, and Ishpink cinnamon predominate. It doesn’t project too much nor is it strong; some performance has been sacrificed to achieve something sophisticated and of extremely high quality. Bravo!

  A brutal niche fragrance from Brazil. I refuse to agree with the previous comments: it is unique, has no relation to other essences, and its quality is noticeable. It is an artistic jewel that mixes balsamic, resinous, spicy, woody and a sweet touch. Here tonka bean, copaíba, vetiver, saffron and that Ishpink cinnamon dominate. It does not project much nor shout; they have slightly reduced the performance to achieve something ultra-refined and sophisticated. Bravo!

  Similar to the Neo. Warm and spiced. Super sweet. Not my style.

  Excellent perfume. It has facets that remind me of other Natura fragrances, especially the Neo, but at the same time it is different. As it dries down, it moves towards an animalic, resinous amber; it’s not sweet… It’s AMBER with plenty of labdanum. You can tell it doesn’t project much, but it lasts its 6-8 hours. Ideal for cold climates.

  I think Natura could pull off something groundbreaking, and I don’t know why it’s so difficult for them. Apart from Elo, which is different, the Essential line seems to revolve around chords you already know. I experienced this with Neo. I’m not saying they are identical, but they bring back memories of other scents. This one smells rich, but it’s not the exception.

  It’s rich. I haven’t tried the Neo or the Mirra, but I found it very good. It’s not a bomb that you can smell from metres away, but it is noticeable and lasts quite a while. On my skin it smells delicious, and so does it on my husband. It reminds me of E. OUD and the Velvet Amber Sun by Dolce & Gabbana, much more so than the Dolce, which is a bomb, hehe.

  Strong and masculine, yet classy. It smells of leather and whisky, even if those aren’t the official notes. It has excellent longevity and sillage. I liked it among the Essentials; perhaps it’s not number one on the ranking, but it’s simply delicious.

  Bought it with reservations due to the reviews, but for me, it’s a bombshell: a blend of leather, woods, and a dark, deep vetiver. Perfect for winter. It’s not a niche fragrance, but it’s very well made. While others complain about the longevity, on my skin it lasts over 8 hours. Highly recommended from Natura. If you catch it on offer, it’s imperative to buy it.

  This is very original; the copaiba, vetiver and other spices make it a marvel, although while its fixation is short and precise… that’s where it should improve.

  I tried it and it lasted an hour on my wrist, hahaha; the Homem Elo lasted much longer, it literally ate it up.

  All kinds of wood. Shavings fly out of the spray. Once dry, two total beauties emerge: Coca-Cola and dry cleaning. I don’t perceive it as sweet (perhaps there’s a sweetness that rounds out the notes). I can’t imagine it for any situation: autumn, winter or fresh spring days. It has the DNA of the Essencial line. I’m not sure if it’s the best or most standout in the range (I tend to think it isn’t). Personally, I like it if I don’t have high expectations about its usage scenario.

• Santo Lorenzo

  Very delicious perfume; I see it as a more refined version of Essencial Oud, more formal and suitable for all year round. Longevity: it lasts longer than the Oud, but I forgive it because I prefer it more.

  Very rich perfume, I see it as a more polished Essencial Oud in its notes, more formal and for all year round. Performance? It lasts longer than the Oud, but I forgive it because I like it more.

  It’s identical to Spice Bomb, a wonderful fragrance.

  I bought it at a great price on Mercado Libre and had been wanting to try it for years. The scent is exquisite and one of my favourites for its vanilla, wood and amber notes. However, on my skin it projects nothing and evaporates in under an hour, staying right next to the skin. Out of all the perfumes I own, it’s the only one I haven’t received compliments on, even though I’ve used second and third-tier brands that made more of an impression than this, what a pity because I love it… if only it were a bit cheaper in Argentina, I’d wear it all the time, but it remains too expensive to reapply constantly. The scent is vaguely reminiscent of Fan di Fendi, although the latter leans more towards leather when dry. I’d recommend it only for a date alone; otherwise, it projects nothing and it’s as if I’m not wearing anything.

  Smells like Khamrah but with less intensity. Not worth it.

  I tried this perfume; I’d read it was similar to Spicebomb EDT and wasn’t very confident, what a surprise. It’s remarkably similar in every facet: I loved it. The opening is almost identical, slightly sharp from the pepper and spices to the point of tickling your nose, followed by that amber, woody, slightly sweet heart. Very good longevity. The only catch is that here in Mexico it costs almost the same as Spicebomb; if it were a bit cheaper, it would be well worth it.

  Smells of baked apples with cinnamon; nice, but nothing more.
