Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It was a gift for my mum, who already used Amarige and Poême. There is a similarity, even in the appeal of the violet note. The opening is the drying down of Amarige plus a super clean violet, nothing strident. It’s a clean perfume, like straight out of the shower; a light Amarige for every day, very versatile, even for spring or hot days. Highly recommended.
I tried several Natura fragrances without finding anything that would stick with me until this Violet Water. Not knowing the true scent of the flower, I went in with some prejudices, but what a surprise! It has a distant resemblance to Amarige. It smells just like that perfume on my skin the next day: a mix of flowers where none stands out, neither sweet nor heavy. It’s clean and comforting, ideal for the heat, for being at home, or after a shower. I’m very glad I discovered it, especially knowing it dates back to the 90s and isn’t a creation by Verónica Kato.
It smells fresh, powdery… clean. Personally, it lasts quite a while on my skin and clothes; it’s a perfect fragrance for summer.
I’m just here to say it has a great resemblance to Libre de Tal. If you’re looking for something with the same vibes, I understand.
I love perfumes with a violet scent and went to the website to check the notes. Seeing that several people voted for its similarity to Amarige, I couldn’t believe it. I went to try it and yes, there is a similarity without them being identical, especially due to the quality and the fact that Amarige has an unmistakable woody touch. At first, the violet is noticeable, but gradually the white flowers take over and that’s when it resembles the mentioned perfume more. I’m not one to use colognes from this brand, but I admit it was pleasant and very fresh for the heat in my city, probably for use after a shower on a weekend. As a body mist, its longevity was scarce on my skin.
I don’t like it; it seems outdated and smells like bathroom air freshener.
This rich scent reminds me of something from my childhood in the 80s, nothing new. It smells of talc or cream with flowers as the protagonists, where jasmine and musk predominate. It smells clean and delicate, giving that warm, tender, sweet, and powdery violet thing, but without a real violet scent. I like to use it for being at home, after a shower, or for sleeping, basically because it doesn’t last almost anything, so I treat it like a fresh post-bath spray. I think for the price of around $16 there are many better alternatives, such as the same Splash Tododía or Frescor Ekos from Natura, or EDTs/EDPs like Elizabeth Arden, Guess, or Halloween, which last longer, have a better trail, and more original or current scents.
In the garden of my parents’ house, violets grow naturally, two varieties: one more lilac and another of intense violet. That’s why I have the raw material to compare, and believe me, although this water has a set of notes, the idea of the violet is very well executed. If you like violets and their scent, this water is 100% recommended. My sister buys it regularly and that’s why I don’t, so as not to smell the same. Otherwise, I would have it in my collection, as I once knew she had it. Similarly, what I miss is the Freesia one. If anyone from Natura who steps heavily reads this, please! The Freesia one, please.
In this cologne, I perceive those vintage vibes of perfumes from the past. The opening is very lovely, then in a flash I perceive the violets, but finally it is the jasmine that takes the lead in this fragrance that arrives to stay in the dry down. It reminds me of a cologne from the 90s with jasmines that I used to wear. Very floral and feminine.
They are fresh violets; I liked them a lot for use after a bath. I saw that many people opine it resembles Amarige, but in my opinion, nothing to do with it. I know the Givenchy perfume very well as I used it for more than 15 years, and I can say with certainty that they are not even similar. Amarige is a bomb of flowers combined with quite a bit of wood and fruit, while the Natura cologne is soft and prominent unifloral. In conclusion, they are two different things; don’t deceive yourselves thinking you will find Amarige in fields of violets. You won’t find it.
You can tell it smells incredible and lasts longer than many designer perfumes; it’s not a light eau de toilette. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something floral and enveloping.
I bought it blind and liked it a treat. On my skin it’s a sweet floral, quite powdery, with a touch of wood and something smoky… it sounds rich and very feminine. Ideal for every day, although in summer (here in Argentina) as it’s so sweet, you need to moderate the sprays; perhaps it suits autumn or winter better. I don’t yet know the longevity well, I tested it today, but I feel it lasts longer than my Petals of Vanilla. The trail is short, it feels close to the skin. In summary: a rich, economical perfume with beautiful colour and lovely packaging. Looks great as a gift or for yourself if you like sweet, powdery florals. It has elegance, doesn’t feel simple, and in the first drying moments you can detect the jasmine. It doesn’t smell teenage; I’ll keep using and testing it, but for now I loved the purchase.
I bought it blind and loved it! On my skin, it’s a sweet floral with a touch of talc, a hint of wood, and a smoky air… I find it delicious and very feminine. Ideal for everyday wear, though in summer it feels very sweet (not gourmand, just floral), so in the heat you should moderate the sprays; perhaps more for autumn/winter. I still don’t know the longevity for sure, as I tried it yesterday. Of my two eaux, this lasts longer than the vanilla one, although the trail is short, only noticeable close to the skin. In short, a rich, affordable perfume with a beautiful box. Perfect for gifting or treating yourself if you like sweet, talc-y florals. It has elegance and doesn’t feel simple; you can tell there are several notes. At first, the jasmine is very prominent. It doesn’t smell teenage; I’ll continue to wear and test it, but for now, I’ve made the right purchase.
It’s long-lasting with a good trail; dry down is talc-y with a woody base that enhances the flowers and feels very noble. It smells very vintage, reminding me greatly of Givenchy’s Amarige, a classic from our mothers’ wardrobes for going to work. For me, it’s a superb perfume that is undervalued. Ideal for those seeking white florals and roses. It’s not overly sweet, nor powerful or heavy. VERY FEMININE! It doesn’t bother anyone and even gives a lovely sense of calm.
It’s long-lasting with a good trail; dry down is powdery, with a good woody base that enhances the flowers and is very noble. It smells vintage, reminding me hugely of Givenchy’s Amarige, a classic that brings back memories of our mothers going to work. For me it’s a wonderful perfume that loses value. Ideal for those who like white and pink florals. It’s not sugary, nor powerful or heavy. THAT’S RIGHT, VERY FEMININE! It doesn’t bother at all and even generates a lovely state of calm.
Campo de Violetas is very sweet, but what stands out most is its elegance. It smells of floral fields after a summer rain, when the scents rise and it’s impossible not to feel them. Although it’s sweet, it’s tolerable thanks to the strong musk present from start to finish. Longevity is another strong point: very persistent.

It smells like a soft floral with a pleasant dry herbal base. At first, the flowers dominate, but over time they recede and become more pleasant for me. The level of sweetness is minimal.
Subtle; it smells of jasmine. Within minutes, it’s very similar to Aerin’s Ikat Jasmine. It easily lasts 8 hours.
It also reminds me of Givenchy’s Amarige, very refined since it’s just an eau de cologne.
I wore violet-based florals like Givenchy’s Amarige, Poeme, or Carolina Herrera back in the 90s when they were all the rage. They bring back memories of Sundays with the ‘well-off girls’ in my neighbourhood, while the boys wore Drakar. Now I’m glad Natura created Campo de Violetas, a fresh tribute to those intense fragrances of the past. It has plenty of jasmine, flowers, woods, and a shy violet that appears now and then; it’s rebellious compared to today’s sugary perfumes and, luckily, feels like a softer Amarige. Suitable for all ages!
I was 15 in the nineties when florals like Carolina Herrera Classic, Poeme by Lancôme, and Givenchy’s Amarige were in fashion (they flooded my Sunday afternoons with the ‘well-off girls’ from my town, while the boys wore Drakkar). Teenagers and adults wore them regardless of the heat. Now I appreciate that Natura has created Violet Field; it’s a fresh homage to those intense late-century fragrances. Lots of jasmine, flowers, woods, and a shy violet that appears from time to time; it’s a transgression of current gourmand conventions. It’s like a very soft Amarige (fortunately). Suitable for all ages!
I don’t know if it smells like an older woman… I don’t know what an ‘older woman’ smells like; it’s a soft aroma with a strong jasmine scent rather than violet.
It doesn’t smell of violets at all. It smells like a perfume worn by a very elderly person.

Smells of violets even though I don’t wear them: it’s super sweet, with prune and jasmine notes. If you like sugary perfumes, you’ll love it; it reminds me hugely of Amarige.
If I had to describe it, it’s fresh violets that smell like clean soap with floral touches; it leaves a super pleasant and clean trail.
I bought it recently and I absolutely adore it; it smells 100% of violets.
