Ilía Viver by Natura

I love its performance for the price. Ideal for everyday wear, work, or the gym, in summer or winter. It’s a soft, rich scent that nobody could dislike; perhaps it lacks a bit of character and doesn’t absolutely captivate me, but for daily use it’s perfect. I also think it makes a great gift. I detect 100% freesia, with no vanilla or fruity notes, maybe a slight woody touch. It lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin and much longer on clothes. If you struggle to find daily fragrances with good longevity, give it a try.

Ilía Viver. I wasn’t keen on buying it; I had my sights set on another from the catalogue, but my friend made me try it. Oh! Why? I fell in love. So much so that I bought it again. I detected it as slightly citrusy but with a strong freesia note. How gorgeous! What a pity they’ve taken it off the market 😔

A tender perfume, ‘rich girl’ style. Notes of acidic red fruits with flowers on top. In the end it becomes powdery, clean and slightly acidic. It’s casual but with character, uncommon. I don’t detect any vanilla. Flowers, fruits, acidity and a fresh sensation.

It’s a feminine, very soft and slightly sweet perfume. It opens with a grapefruit, a slightly citrusy start, then the freesia comes through, and it finishes vanilla. It’s for a ‘good girl’, it has innocence; the scent is very lovely and the bottle is as pretty as the Ilía Natura ones. I find it very versatile.

I bought it again and I didn’t smell it the same way… This batch is much more citrusy and the woody base is less noticeable. What a pity this change because it feels ‘more common’. This bottle doesn’t resemble the Bella much (except for the rhubarb note which the Viver lacks). I was going to put it up for sale because I don’t feel like using it, but in a moment of audacity I added a few drops of Just… patchouli oil. We’ll see what happens… I’ll update in a few days.

Feminine, citrusy, fresh, floral, and slightly vanilla and woody as it develops… On my skin it lasts about 7 hours and I enjoy the performance more at the end, as at first it hits hard with its acidity and tickles the nose. After an hour it becomes more floral and its finish is what I like most: vanilla and woods that softly envelop white flowers 💐 An 8/10 😊 I deduct points because as soon as I apply it I wait for the citrus note to pass to truly enjoy it.

This fragrance is fresh, opens with sweet grapefruit, then magnolia seems to join, closing woody and slightly vanilla. It has a very noticeable resemblance to Nina Ricci’s Bella, especially in the opening. Then it becomes more woody and changes a bit. It smells superb, I like it. But on my skin it doesn’t last long and its trail is soft. It’s original and different. I like it.
