Kriska by Natura

Sweet floral perfume that lasts all day. It features notes of black raspberry, plum, and vanilla. Not a vintage scent, perfect for daily wear and very feminine. I’d say it’s great for women over 20, probably not for teens. Leaves a light to moderate trail and lasts about 5 hours. Rating: 8/10.

At first, it reminded me of Givenchy Organza, but Kriska feels disjointed in its notes and then loses that resemblance. My mom wears it, though she prefers the flanker Arrasa.

How limited does a human have to be to categorize perfumes by age? I’m tired of reading ‘lady’, ‘old lady’, ‘adult’. Respect yourselves a bit and don’t expose your cognitive flaws by posting brutalities. Fragrantica is the peak of misunderstood free expression and it shows a lack of intelligence. I’m better off on Fragrantica because it’s annoying to read such poor and biased reviews. Thank goodness there’s no ‘smell of unintelligence’.

I simply couldn’t stand it. I bought it for the sweet notes, but upon trying it, it seemed super vintage to me. It reminded me of the smell of a hair removal cream I used before (Touch Me) and it made me gag. I ended up gifting it to my sister so she could enjoy it.

I tried giving it several chances, but I definitely couldn’t make it work… it smells like ‘lady’ and intense powder, just like cheap Avon perfumes, and it gives me a headache. I’ll gift it or leave it as a bathroom air freshener, and I doubt I’d tolerate it even then; it’s really uncomfortable.

Very usable for the first cold days of autumn or early spring. It carries a very 90s DNA. Powdery/soapy (the clove gives that vibe). Great for everyday wear. It lasts 8 hours on skin and much longer on clothes. If you want to buy blind, go ahead, because if you don’t like it, maybe a slightly older family member will.

I got it and what a difference: the sample was good, but straight from the bottle it’s on another level. It’s the best in the Krisca line; not as cloying or tiring as Drama or Libertad. It reminds me of perfumes from the late 80s and 90s: complex, floral, elegant, with a dark and mysterious touch. I wouldn’t wear it in summer; it’s better for cool, daytime hours. The trail is moderate but noticeable. Here, cardamom and flowers dominate, while vanilla and patchouli are barely felt, though I appreciate them. That blend is exquisite and irresistible. It’s subtle and delicate, without the punch of Kenzo Jungle. No single flower rules; they all contribute a bit to create that mysterious vibe. It reminds me a bit of classic Poison, but without the honey. The wood is very subtle and I don’t detect the fruits. It’s worth it; it’s a classic that Natura shouldn’t discontinue.

Just bought it. I always imagined it differently: a youthful, sparkling sweet start, floral but not overwhelming or turning vintage. Well, it’s the opposite. It’s complex from the start, I’d say intense. Then it remains complex throughout its development. It’s a floral that’s barely sweet, very little. At least that’s what I feel. There’s one note that bothers me; I can’t figure out which one. I hope I’ll come to love it soon, like some others did. Definitely not something to buy blind. Something I do and dream of doing often: I still don’t learn 😬

I loved it! I’m one of those who adores sweet and vanilla perfumes, and although I like Shock, I prefer the Classic. At first, the opening bothers me a bit, strong and fruity bubblegum-like, but once it dries on the skin it becomes sweet, delicate, and floral; I’m fascinated. The sweetness lasts all the time, but without being overwhelming, elegant and sophisticated. That’s why I prefer it to Shock, which smells the same from start to finish, no evolution, just caramel. The Classic has another layer of complexity and evolution. Longevity is excellent, it lasts forever, but you have to moderate the sprays to avoid overdoing it. Without a doubt, I’d buy it again; it’s versatile. I wouldn’t wear it in the heat, but in cooler times it’s perfect for work, dinner, a date, or a spring night.

How exhausting it is with that habit of categorizing perfumes by age, for God’s sake!! This is an EDT floral, elegant, intense, good performance, and sweet although not from the gourmand line. Is it on the same side as Tresor? Yes. It even has a touch of 90s vintage fragrance. Although it comes out very strident, the dry down is delicious and subtle. For those who enjoy sweetness without smelling like a cupcake, it’s a good option.

Great value for money. The opening reminds me a lot of Viva La Juicy, ideal for daily wear.

Lots of rose and lots of carnation as the opening note; it’s a perfume for someone much older, it just doesn’t convince me…

This perfume, which is actually an EDT, is very particular. It’s the typical perfume that you either love or hate. And I have a strange relationship with this perfume. At first, the opening is a floral, sweet, and fruity punch that pushes you back. As time passes, it settles and leaves a powdery, clean, vanilla scent that reminds me of the smell of dolls (that’s the side that enchants). It’s quite strong and needs to be used with moderation. The note composition is a bomb in itself and is a perfume quite difficult to describe. It’s the most mature perfume in the Krisca line, the original Krisca. Despite being sweet and vanilla, it’s too complex for young girls; I would recommend it for those over 25. For teenagers, there are other Krisca versions like Libertad or Encanto, which are sweeter and much less complex. I find a nostalgic point to it. It’s very enveloping and has an oriental touch. It’s a perfume that doesn’t leave you indifferent and is ideal to use as a personal fragrance because it’s easily recognizable and very exclusive. That said, totally indicated for cold climates. Personally to me, although I tried to make it my own a few years ago, it turned out to be too overwhelming and it used to daze me. But without a doubt, one of the most original things from Natura.

I first smelled it a month ago and thought it was the perfume I used to wear as a girl, but I couldn’t remember which one. Today I realized it smells like Paco Rabanne’s Ultraviolet, the one I wore for years that’s now impossible to find.
