    It’s citrusy, woody and green, without any sweetness, perhaps with a touch of white floral notes. I love it for that classic profile, very vintage floral. In summer it’s incredible: it lasts all day, leaves you clean and fresh, and people always ask what I’m wearing.

  2. Tatiecheverrip

    They gave it to me at Christmas, what luck. Since then, it’s been one of my favourite citrus scents and my faithful gym companion. It lasts more than half an hour, which is an achievement. It’s unisex, ideal for beautiful, refreshing fragrances that don’t overpower, with about three hours of longevity.

  3. MariaConstanza

    I wanted it for the description, but Natura didn’t have stock. My best friend gifted it to me for my birthday without knowing I wanted it (soulmate!♥) and I was fascinated. It’s more intense and long-lasting than I expected. Fresh, clean and glamorous; the orchid emerges once the citrus has evaporated. Absolutely unisex.

  4. It’s quite suitable for everyday wear; it’s citrusy and soft. Personally, I expected more the first time I heard of it, but I think it’s a youthful option with fresh and fruity tones. It’s not one of my favourites, but I still think it’s a good fragrance.

  5. If they say it’s citrusy, it smells slightly bitter orange, something spicy but fresh. It delivers what it promises and is pleasant. I used it for a while until my son claimed it and it became his.

  6. It was my signature for a long time, even for important occasions. It lasts a long time on clothes, even after washing. Now I use it for exercise; everyone loves it. It’s sweet and citrusy, very fresh and rich.

  7. Definitely a delightful citrus scent that even those who don’t love citrus enjoy. Energetic, sweet and distinguished. It has incredible longevity for its price. A 10.

  8. It smells cheap. Sometimes I wonder if we know what we’re talking about when we say ‘sophisticated’, but whatever that is, this perfume is the opposite.

  9. It’s my favourite perfume; I have only beautiful words for it. It’s affordable, lasts all day on skin and clothes, and gives a shot of energy. Super citrusy but with that little fruity sweetness that makes it spectacular. As always, Natura doing everything right.

  10. Elizabethshelby

    I’m a fan of gourmand perfumes, hyper-sweet ones. A friend gifted this to me for my birthday and I was fascinated; how good of her, because I think I never would have tried it without her. It’s citrusy and fresh, but I find it very feminine. It reminds me of perfumes for girls and teenagers from the 2000s. It brings me joy and energy. It smells of orange with delicate flowers. It’s one of the few fragrances I can tolerate in the intense summer in Argentina.

  11. I absolutely love it! It’s super citrusy, rich and refreshing for hot days. The opening is a bit strong, but I adore it because, being a summer scent, it leaves a trail. In my case, I’ve had the bottle for years and it has concentrated; now the sweet mandarin comes through much more. I think it’s another of Natura’s bestsellers alongside Humor 1. It’s well worth the money and one of my summer favourites, plus I feel it’s very original.

  12. I’m not a huge fan of citrus, but I loved this one. At first, it has a fresh and citrusy opening, with a slightly unisex touch. However, as it dries down, the woody notes take over and on my skin it acquires a slightly sweet nuance, although it still maintains that freshness. It’s highly recommended for everyday wear, especially in warm climates, where it works wonderfully.

  13. I don’t like it; it smells very citrusy and heavy. It leans more towards unisex/masculine and on my skin it turns out very poorly.

  14. It’s citrusy but woody, lasts for hours on skin and clothes. It’s good for summer on stifling days and very versatile for day or night. I don’t know why to wear it to the gym; I wouldn’t wear it myself because the scent can be overwhelming. Some people love it and others hate it, but personally I like it.

  15. Fresh, clean, refined, empowered and sensual. It serves for going to the gym, for a romantic date in the morning or afternoon, for staying at home with the laptop writing, for a business meeting, for going to school or the cinema… For a reason it’s the bestseller at Natura and yet I hadn’t smelled it on anyone before; it turned into a little gem. Whoever described the scent: Nona.

  16. Luciibelen15

    Super citrusy, it’s not ugly but it has an ingredient (I’m not sure which) that makes it somewhat heavy and tiring, boring after a while. It’s not the typical fresh citrus of midsummer, but a heavy citrus, more like for spring or autumn.

  17. Leslie Lisak

    Somewhat unisex, not sweet at all. What I feel most is the bitter orange with the jasmine in the background. It’s a fresh eau de toilette for summer, for everyday wear. It’s true that I imagine a girl/woman with a cheerful personality!

  18. This is my perfume for working out or going for a walk because it smells like you’re eating grapefruit on freshly cut and wet grass on a sunny afternoon… It’s fresh and clean to the max.

  19. What a wonder!! If you are a woman who likes to wear a fresh perfume without losing femininity and delicacy, you must try it. The first thing you feel is a fresh and clean bergamot, you can also detect the bitter orange, all over a not-too-sour base, very pleasant fresh green notes that take away the sting from the lemon and the orange. After a while, the slight sweetness of the jasmine and the mock orange appears, but it’s quite subtle. At all times you feel the greenery, the freshness; this fragrance is not sweet at all: it’s slightly floral, always accompanied by a citrus and fresh scent that is pleasant to wear on clothes. I recommend it to a cheerful, lively woman who laughs a lot. Its trail is quite weak like most Natura eau de toilettes, but well, at least it has a nice smell. Its longevity isn’t the best either, although it lasts many hours on clothes (the next day if you wear the same clothes, you’ll surely notice it still smells of lemon with jasmine).

  20. ☃Valen-Khe☃

    It’s not super citrusy; it’s more floral with a sweet touch. It lasts until I’ve washed my clothes twice. It smells incredibly strong. It doesn’t win me over, but it’s lovely and feminine, perfect for cool evenings, nothing for hot days. Warning: use a little or you’ll suffocate everyone around you, haha 🤪

  21. On my skin it’s complicated; it has different phases. At one moment it smells one way and a moment later something totally different. I understand perfumes have stages, but I’ve never had something so confusing. The fragrance seems simple: a citrus opening, almost unisex, then it takes me to the sweetness of little girl perfumes for 15-year-olds or under, nothing like the start. It’s two extremes that don’t blend. I don’t get it, I don’t know what it’s doing. It’s not for me. I’m not saying you have to believe me, it’s my personal opinion on how it projects on my skin; some people adore it. I agree with those who say it’s more for teenagers, something sporty, for everyday wear.

  22. I had it, used it, and gave it away because it didn’t blow my mind. Mind you, it’s not a bad perfume, simply the Kaiak Adventure men’s version was much better (in my opinion)

  23. There was a time when I bought this a couple of times. It’s a rich, fresh citrus with a floral touch, giving the sensation of just stepping out of the shower. I smelled it on the bus just yesterday and suddenly wanted to buy it again.

  24. A classic in my life!!! I’ve been wearing it for about 15 years now, but less and less because it’s become so popular. It lasts all day on clothes and the dry-down is spectacular.

  25. maiteriffo28

    It’s super fresh, smells like orange/clementine, rich and clean, with a slightly sporty vibe that screams SUMMER. It leaves a soft, rich trail. If you enjoy citrusy orange scents, this is perfect; I recommend it for women with a strong personality.

  26. April_ethereal

    It’s one of those timeless fragrances… I always repurchase it; I love how affordable and delicious it smells. A very well-executed citrus with a lovely ‘clean’ scent; it’s one of my all-time favourites, a true classic from Natura.

  27. Classic Kaiak is a versatile all-rounder feminine fragrance, featuring a blend of sweet fruits and citrus, flowers, and a vanilla-like base that I attribute to heliotrope. If I had to find a similar scent, I’d say Tommy Girl, but Kaiak dries down creamier. It’s rich and wearable for hot weather, though entirely casual. Performance is average, with moderate projection and about four hours’ longevity; still, considering it’s an EDT, the performance is good for the price, especially if you can find it on offer. Who will like it: lovers of fruity perfumes like Cacharel’s Amor Amor.
