Ilía Laços by Natura

Why does it smell exactly like my Libre EDP on my skin? I don’t get it. Everyone says it’s sweet, floral, creamy, and honeyed on them, according to what I’ve read. Maybe I just need to give it time, I’m not sure.

I own Reyna by Maison Alhambra, but it doesn’t convince me because it’s too linear and doesn’t evolve. I bought Ilia Lazos blindly, and upon application, it reminded me of Reyna in its initial fruity citrus phase before settling into powdery. However, Lazos evolves by sweetening over vanilla, how fascinating! It’s not a tooth-rotting childish aroma, but a floral-vanilla scent that highlights its floral side until it merges with the vanilla, like Una Senses. For Ilia, it projects superbly for the first two hours; then it fades but is still detectable, leaves a trail, sets on clothes, and lasts all day. I recommend it for autumn-winter, it shines in the cold. I don’t see it as evening wear, but rather for daytime.

It didn’t seem gourmand to me either. It’s intense, a bit invasive, and I don’t see it for girls under 25. I tried wearing it but it didn’t work, so I gifted it to my mum.

Mixed feelings… Sweet it might be, but not gourmand to me. It lacks a fruity or caramelised touch for me to like it; too many flowers. I like the opening and the dry-down, but the heart notes are annoying (the violet?). I love Ilia Secreto but this doesn’t go in that direction. Still, I’ll keep it. I bought it for the packaging and the reviews on a super sale! 😅 P.S.: with wear, it macerates and becomes sweeter and sweeter.

I recommend it to those who enjoy sweet floral or gourmand perfumes; it’s an excellent choice. Intense white floral to the point where its nectar is overwhelming. However, I enjoy wearing it for the first thirty minutes, but not its dry-down, where the bergamot disappears and it becomes doubly sweet, almost caramelised. Otherwise, it lasts about twelve hours and I can detect it all the time. An option for special occasions or informal evenings.

What a pity it doesn’t work for me; I tried it but there’s no point. Recently I bought one without testing it (tempted by the reviews and the price): LAVENDER by Oscar de la Renta, and to my surprise, it’s identical to Ilía Laços.

This perfume is like a paradise of flowers bathed in autumnal nectar. A delight…

It makes me feel loved and very feminine. It is a floral blended with marshmallow, giving it sweetness and a powdery dry-down, but also a slightly astringent touch. It is exquisite. It reminds me of a mix between Kenzo’s Popy Bouquet Flower and Dolce & Gabbana’s Pour Femme. A beautiful perfume of very good quality.

Ilia Lazos (as it’s called in Chile) is a caramelised and vanilla-sweet white floral, very tasty and feminine. Versatile for all seasons except summer. Lasts over eight hours on skin.

I love this fragrance! It has the perfect amount of sweetness and smells very feminine. It is very usable, ideal for everyday wear, semi-formal events or quiet outings. It is a delicious mix of flowers and vanilla, slightly creamy. It can be worn in all seasons, although I would not wear it in much heat. It has good sillage and projection without needing to overapply. It suits any age perfectly.

To be honest, I detect a clean, soapy scent. I feel nothing of what they say. If it resembles the Dolce, I would not spend that money. It is not unpleasant, just that I thought it would be something more interesting. However, it lingers on every nose and skin.

Ilía Laços by Natura lasts all day on me and persists on clothes even after washing. On my skin, it comes across as super sweet. It is very similar to Dolce & Gabbana’s Pour Femme, which I always wanted but preferred others due to the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something very sweet and long-lasting.

I’m absolutely surprised! I hesitated when I read it was similar to Pour Femme by D&G, but I’ve always found D&G perfumes wonderful, even though I never bought one due to their poor performance. Today I received this and was blown away: not only is it identical to Pour Femme, but Ilia Lazos lasted an eternity!!!!!! It’s exquisite, sweet and floral. Although marshmallows aren’t listed, there’s something more than vanilla that makes it so similar. If you liked the D&G one but weren’t convinced by its performance, I assure you Natura is the best choice. Confession: I’m not usually a fan of Natura, but I must admit their quality and scent are excellent. I’ve bought several and the price-to-quality ratio is more than satisfactory, especially because designer perfumes lately are boring, unoriginal and of poor quality.

I must confess that at first sniff it wasn’t love at first sight; there was something off, an astringent and dry note, like cardboard, I’m not sure if it’s the cumaru or the amber. But over time it won me over. It opens with a sweet floral, then moves to those astringent notes and the tonka bean. Its dry-down is rich, a delicious sweet tonka bean that reminded me of the sublime tonka bean by Oriflame; the purity is noticeable. Sweet and delicate dry-down, not fresh or intense, it has warmth from the amber and tonka bean. I wear it for work, it doesn’t bother anyone at all, it’s balanced and elegant. Its longevity on my skin is tremendous; I can feel it all day even with a face mask, and people have praised it. It’s a lovely creation worthy of Natura, very versatile, good for cold or fresh days and even for evening because it’s neither heavy nor fresh, just right.

Very lovely and, for me, almost identical to Pour Femme by Dolce & Gabbana🤗❤️🙌🏽
