Recria by Natura

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

I only wear it for workouts or to smell while I’m at home. Very simple, low sillage, and short longevity.

Spectacular. I’m a collector with over 300 perfumes, and this one stands up to those that cost much more. Ideal for spring and summer, I’ve received many compliments. 100% recommended.

I really don’t get why people criticize it so much. It might be my own whim, but it’s almost my favorite 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.

Citrusy and for daily wear. It’s almost a clone of Avon’s 300 Km/h Supersonic in performance, which is linear and synthetic. It fulfills its purpose, but I was disappointed buying it blindly since I already own the Supersonic, which cost me triple and smells the same. 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, and polished sweetness. At first, I noticed a subtle, spicy, and slightly animalic kick—very soft but it really enhances the masculinity; I love it. 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 out of the dryer. I adore these sensations.

A versatile citrus fragrance with medium-to-low longevity (about 4 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, and it performs well: discreet and non-intrusive. It’s very similar to Avon’s Ironman (now discontinued), but with weaker projection and shorter longevity. If it had better projection and staying power, it would be a total hit.

A super-citrus fragrance, perfect for hot days. It reminds me a lot of Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony 1, so it’s a great budget alternative since that one is almost out of stock in my country. I recommend it for young people, ages 15 to 25.

I bought this fragrance yesterday, and it opens with citrus immediately: you can feel the sweet bergamot and grapefruit, which lingers with lavender and ginger. In my opinion, it’s only for a teenage audience; from a 10-year-old up to maybe 17. It’s a blind-buy scent because the smell is very acceptable to everyone. It smells great!

Very fresh, it fits perfectly in summer. Citrus dominates, but it has a masculine touch; it feels amazing. The scent denotes it’s for very young people, like teenagers. It can be worn in spring without issues, but in cold weather it doesn’t fit because it barely projects. Medium longevity: about 3 hours on skin and 6 on clothes until it fades. It doesn’t last after washing like other Natura fragrances do. Good fragrance, recommended for young people, school, home, and casual outings. Not suitable for other occasions. Accessible price, striking presentation with an elegant bottle and vintage-style stickers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
