Recria by Natura

Natura is the Carlos Sainz Jr. of low-cost perfumery: it has everything to shine, but it always discontinues the best or launches nonsensical stuff. This series goes with Amó. It’s brilliant, charming and fresh, projecting well for two hours. You can detect the ginger and wood; it’s sparkling and leaves that coveted ‘used pencil tip’ scent thanks to the cedar and Akigalawood.

I keep it solely for training or to smell while I’m at home. Very simple, low sillage and poor longevity.

Spectacular. I’m a collector with over 300 perfumes, and this ranks alongside those costing much more. Ideal for spring and summer; I’ve received many compliments. 100% recommended.

I truly don’t understand why it’s criticised so much. It could be my own whim, but it’s almost my favourite from Natura. It has incredible practicality; you feel clean, it’s like a breeze and freshness. Smelling it calms me down. I’d buy it a thousand times over.

Citrus and for everyday use. It’s almost a clone of Avon’s 300 Km/h Supersonic in performance, which is linear and synthetic. It fulfils its purpose, but it disappointed me as a blind buy, since I already own the Supersonic, which cost me three times as much and smells the same. The projection and longevity are less potent. Natura usually makes good-quality perfumes, but that’s not evident here; it feels generic. Scenarios: sports, like almost the entire Avon 300 line.

Rich and crystal-clear, this is a clean fragrance that captivates the senses. It has a sparkling brightness with a fresh, masculine sweetness. At first, I noticed a subtle, spicy, and slightly animalic touch; it’s very soft yet enhances the masculinity, which I adore. The ingredients are high quality, as Natura always delivers. It evokes juicy fruits like watermelon, almost 100% water: a sweet freshness without being cloying. It also smells like freshly laundered clothes with an excellent detergent, damp and straight from the washing machine. I love these sensations.

A versatile citrus fragrance with medium-to-low longevity (around four hours in heat) and a trail of 30-50 cm for the first hour and a half. I own both versions; I use it for the office and the gym, with great results: discreet and non-intrusive. It is very similar to Avon’s Ironman (now discontinued), but with a weaker projection and shorter longevity. If it had better projection and longevity, it would be a total hit.

A super citrus fragrance, perfect for hot days. To me, it smells very much like Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony 1, so it’s a good budget alternative since that one is nearly out of stock in my country. I recommend it for young people, aged 15 to 25.

Bought it yesterday and instantly it smells of citrus: bergamot and sweet grapefruit dominate at first, with lavender and ginger keeping the freshness going. In my opinion, it’s for teenagers, up to 17 at most. Worth buying blind as the scent is acceptable for everyone and smells lovely.

Very fresh, it fits perfectly in summer. Citrus notes predominate, but it has a masculine touch; it feels great. The scent denotes it is for very young people, like teenagers. It can be worn in spring without issues, but it does not fit in cold weather as it barely projects. Medium longevity: around three hours on skin and six on clothes until it fades. It does not last after washing like other Natura fragrances. A good fragrance, recommended for young people, school, home, and casual outings. Not suitable for other occasions. Accessible, with striking presentation featuring an elegant bottle and vintage-style labels. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A very current, light yet super-persistent fragrance. It suits teenagers and men well. It has a trail even after hours have passed. In my case, my 12-year-old son uses it, and his friends absolutely love it. The scent reminds him of the sea.
