Copaíba by Natura

I’m a woman and I absolutely love this EDT. I’m obsessed with woody scents, especially that wet wood vibe that gives an incredible clean feeling. The longevity isn’t its strongest point, but it’s perfect for layering with other woody fragrances; if you keep them soft, this one adds so much personality. If you’re a woman, give it a try, or gift it to your boyfriend or husband. You might just discover a hidden gem.

I’m not sure if it’s this one or a similar one, but it was a Natura Copaíba. Well, here’s the summary from my perspective: it smells like a gentleman in his 50s, with wood notes like from Brazil, as if it were an old oak field. Well, to sum it up, the truth is that I didn’t like it; this isn’t a youthful or teenage perfume from my perspective.

What is that delicious perfume? My dad had it a few years ago, and honestly, I don’t remember smelling anything better during my teenage years. It seems strange that it’s not talked about more, but also good that it remains somewhat underrated so the price doesn’t skyrocket. Without a doubt, it’s one of my next purchases. Totally autumnal for going out for coffee or a park walk. My sensation is like cutting a tree and resin and oil coming out; everything mixes to give a very masculine scent, but one a young person can wear comfortably too.

What a freaking amazing perfume! Its opening is citrusy, strong, and refreshing. After a few minutes, you feel the wood and earthy notes, finishing with the copaiba, which is oily with just a tiny bit of musk. For now, I haven’t noticed the other declared notes. It’s not hard to describe: it literally smells like wet tree bark, earthy, and dense, but it’s a rich scent. Plus, you can smell the resin; it’s oily on the nose, and although it seems weird, that makes it unique. It’s a strange perfume the first time, but then it opens up your nose, and you’ll find it exquisite. Super relaxing, informal, and if you’re under 20 with long legs, it’s perfect for daily use in mild seasons and even in the cold because of its dark tone. Good longevity, about 4 to 5 hours. As a final point, it’s complicated to test on yourself the first time, but everyone else who smells it loves it.

I bought it after reading the reviews. It’s an adorable, soft fragrance, like a corner in a wet forest, just after rain, with leaves and piles of wet tree bark. It’s dark. A wonderful, fleeting scent. Unfortunately, on my skin, the trail lasts about half an hour, then it’s barely perceptible for another half hour. I use it to go to sleep after a shower on fresh to cold days. A pity; I won’t repurchase it, even though I consider it wonderful.

I love it and use it daily. It projects quite well and lasts about 5 to 6 hours on my skin. It’s citrusy but has a sweetness that makes it special for casual outings. It’s very versatile, although it performs better in spring and autumn.

My dad owns one. It’s oily and a bit effeminate. It’s citrusy but only at the very beginning. It has good sillage; I think it’s very unisex (I steal a little bit from it from time to time). A very good economical option from Natura, very fresh, for casual occasions. I love it.

Copaíba Natura for Men. I’ve had this perfume in my collection for years and for some reason I still have half a bottle left. It’s a very different aroma from mass-market fragrances. Moderate citrus opening, smells oily, resinous, woody, sour, bitter, earthy. Imagine bringing your nose close to the trunk of one of those trees that exude resin. Which results in an incredible combination. Once you start opening up your olfactory palate, you begin to appreciate fragrances like these. And not just staying with sweet and fluffy fragrances. This aroma proposes something very different in that sense. I’ve had it happen where I used it without much desire and received compliments I didn’t even expect. Depending on how one appreciates and interprets the notes of this perfume, you may or may not like it. I believe it’s a fragrance that is definitely worth having; I don’t think it’s an ‘easy’ aroma, but it’s worth getting to know. The scent is very particular, and the longevity isn’t a worry for me because I tend to reapply. If it’s not clear, my experience with the perfume is excellent. I recommend it (if you can try it first).

I love it, a scent outside the ordinary, oily, resinous, forest-like, and tropical… uff, hard to define all the sensations it evokes. Certainly, it’s a fragrance for ‘personal enjoyment’; probably people won’t say ‘you smell great,’ but rather ‘oh, what do you smell like?’ In general, I haven’t received compliments because in Chile it’s rare for people to praise your perfume, but it doesn’t matter, because all my perfumes are for me to like, not for others. It has something (just a little) of the wonderful and unparalleled Natura Ekos Alma, but of course, Ekos Alma is sublime, it’s niche quality. Nevertheless, Copaíba brings it. Another interesting point is that I think it would suit a woman well.

What a pity Natura threw it away. Only a few are left online and the prices are crazy. Luckily, I found a seller who had two bottles and bought them for half of what others were asking. It’s a gem: resinous wood, subtly sweet, with an incredible liquor touch (like CH Men Privé but softer), a work of art that with better longevity and a Dior or Chanel bottle would be worth 100 euros, and if it were Roja Dove, 180. That’s how this world works. Over time it becomes more resinous and the wood takes over, with that pleasant sweetness that makes it addictive. That wood reminds me of Declaration of a Soir by Cartier, but here there’s no rose, it goes a different way. That’s reality: first they discontinued the Essencial Elixir in two years and it surpassed the Men Privé from CH at one-third the price. Now this one, which has no equal, has its own personality. I usually don’t review discontinued items, but I want lovers of Copaíba to hurry up. In Brazil, they replace it with Homem Emocioné, but there’s a lot of outrage and they miss both. Greetings, comrades.

Unlike @Dodo, I don’t forgive the low performance; if it lasted longer it would be spectacular. It’s almost there: an alcohol-heavy opening that lasts a minute, then a clean wood, a soft sweetness, and an exquisite liquor that hypnotizes you and makes you float in a woody paradise, comparable to niche. I’ve tried everything, nothing pleases me as much. It’s on par with Tom Ford for 10 euros, which is why I don’t forgive it for lasting 3-4 hours on skin and one hour projecting, way too little. It’s an EDT and most have better performance. Ladies and gentlemen of Natura, don’t discontinue it, just improve the performance and people would happily pay 80 euros. Here in Argentina it’s called Ekos Copaíba, it costs a lot and is only available online; I deduce they are going to throw it away, a grave mistake. Ekos Copaíba by Natura, you could be Federer or Nadal and you’re just a tennis player ranked 590 that almost no one knows, what a pity.

COPAÍBA NATURA: Finally got mine. How do you describe a scent that needs nothing else? It has elegance, class, and personality. It’s an oily balm, like fresh tree sap—natural, masculine, and wild. One of Verónica Kato’s best creations. Scent rating 10, moderate projection, lasts 6 hours. Highly recommended.

Smells like grease, acid, dry rough wood… and I absolutely love it! It’s a scent unlike the common ones, which is why it gets a 10/10. Lasts forever, even if you don’t feel it due to olfactory fatigue.

What is copaiba? It’s an oil harvested from the tree without cutting it down, very sustainable. The perfume starts alcoholic and citrusy (lemon, bergamot), then the copaiba appears smelling like household products, yet it’s fresh and woody. The sandalwood is sweet but not loud. It doesn’t smell like an older person; it’s great for ages 30+. It’s soft and comfortable, like freshly varnished furniture. I sprayed it in the closet and it works well there too. Surprisingly, it lasted 11 hours on me; it has the 3Bs.

I’ve used it and people say I smell good. It delivers on its price; while others claim it lasts 3 hours, on my skin it goes over 7, it sticks to clothes, and I feel no guilt about over-applying. It opens citrusy and green, then moves to soft woods and resins that leave a clean, sophisticated scent. It’s subtle, persistent, and non-offensive. Ideal for personal daily use; more potent perfumes would overpower it, but for someone seeking soft quality, it’s the option. Sometimes I notice a pleasant oily note, probably the copaiba oil.
