My grandmother gave me this lotion at the end of the year and it’s one of my favourites. It doesn’t leave an impressive trail nor does it have exaggerated longevity, but it’s a good perfume for everyday wear and, given the price, I think it’s a great option for a chill day.
My grandmother gifted me this lotion at the end of the year, and it has become one of my favourites. It doesn’t trail and doesn’t last hours, but it’s perfect for everyday use and, given the price, ideal for a chill day.
It’s a pleasant fragrance, but you need to be careful with the sprays; the best thing is the price. Ideal for walks or sports. Saludos.

@Fire:Flex: Friend, glad you tried them. There are many that are excellent, lovely, and cheap; not all are jewels, but they have their treasures. Nothing like opening up new horizons: you’ll realise, as I have, that we often pay too much for too little. That way we’ll know when to pay properly. Warmest regards.
@jerry7474: Hello. I gave Esika another chance; I bought Magnet and Magnat Select. I noticed superior quality in Natura, I think I overdid it there. But with Esika I still smell plastic. I hope the other two fragrances change my mind. Thanks for the recommendations.
I like it. Although it’s synthetic, it smells clean thanks to the lavender; the citrus notes are barely noticeable and there’s a more marked green aura. It’s linear like many catalogue scents. Good longevity, noticeable after 12 hours, with a notable trail for the first four. Be careful on very hot days, it can be suffocating.
I love it! Despite its synthetic notes, it smells incredibly clean thanks to the lavender; the citrus is barely noticeable and there’s a distinct green undertone. It’s linear like most in the range, but it lasts well over 12 hours and the trail is notable for the first four hours. Be careful on very hot days, as it can feel a bit suffocating.
Obviously it’s synthetic, is cashmere not synthetic? Its predominant note is cashmere; I imagine it’s an essentric molecules molecule. It brings back memories of when I was a child, my cousin smelled like this. It’s a clean sensation, almost like fabric softener residue; bitter and velvety, with hidden nuances of bitter and mossy lavender. It has a sweet hint that doesn’t develop. The first impression was indifferent, almost negative, but then came nostalgia and joy. Here it does give CLEAN sweat, use it with few applications. Its great strength is originality: it smells like Zetas (mushroom) and pine due to the cashmere. It’s a love-hate thing; for me it’s eternal love. I’m sure many won’t like it in itself, but on another person it hypnotises. A great gem, recommend trying. If you want to make a difference, don’t look further.
@Fire_flex: It’s your opinion, I respect it, but I disagree. I haven’t tried this fragrance, but in my collection (over 170 perfumes) I have several from Esika, Natura, Jafra and Avon, which are catalogue scents. Even though they are catalogue, I’ve found treasures that smell better than some Armani, Carolina Herrera or Hugo Boss. Of course, they don’t have the prestige of designer brands, but if you give your nose a chance, you’ll see that just because they are catalogue doesn’t mean they are common or cheap. On the contrary, they are interesting and good proposals. I recommend: Jafra Absolute Leather, Avon Premier Luxe Oud, Black Suede Intense, Sensus Absolute e in Black, Esika Magnat Imperium and Select. They are incredible at a ridiculous price. I think you should know more to not confuse ‘cheap’ with ‘common’. The big designer and niche brands have horrible fragrances sold at high prices. It’s not about buying brands, it’s about essences. If I like the essence, I buy it, whether it’s Chanel or Natura. If you only want brands, you’ll be disappointed. One must know more, friend. Worth saying that I don’t like it, but to claim it smells ‘cheap’ or is ‘cheap’ is a mistake. Only a perfumer can assure that, not an enthusiast. Sorry if I offended, it wasn’t the intention. Regards.
According to forum and YouTube reviews, I bought this fragrance. The truth is, this type of aroma always smells like catalogue. I thought they had changed, but they all have that DNA that smells cheap, like plastic. I don’t recommend it. The same happened with Natura.
Very similar to YSL Y EDT. Excellent quality/price ratio. Fresh, fruity, citrusy. Projects well for two or three hours and lasts about six. Excellent for its price.
