    It’s citrusy, woody, and green, with no sweetness—maybe a touch of white floral. I love it for that classic profile, like vintage florals. In summer, it’s incredible: lasts all day, leaves you clean and fresh, and people always ask what I’m wearing.

    Got this as a Christmas gift, what luck. Since then, it’s one of my favorite citrus scents and my go-to gym companion. It lasts more than half an hour, which is an achievement. It’s unisex, perfect for beautiful, refreshing fragrances that don’t overpower, with about three hours of longevity.

    I wanted it because of the description, but Natura didn’t have it in stock. My best friend gifted it to me for my birthday without knowing I wanted it (soulmate!♥), and I was absolutely fascinated. It’s more intense and long-lasting than I expected. Fresh, clean, and glamorous; the orchida note emerges as the citrus fades. Totally unisex.

  4. If they say it’s citrus, it smells slightly bitter orange, a bit spicy but fresh. It delivers on its promise and is pleasant. I used it for a while until my son claimed it and it became his.

  5. It works pretty well for everyday wear; it’s citrusy and soft. Honestly, I expected more the first time I smelled it, but I think it’s a youthful option with fresh, fruity notes. Not one of my favorites, but I still consider it a good fragrance.

  6. It was my signature scent for a long time, even for special occasions. It lasts forever on clothes, even after washing. Now I wear it for workouts; everyone loves it. It’s sweet and citrusy, very fresh and rich.

  7. Definitely a delightful citrus scent that even people who don’t usually love citrus enjoy. Energetic, sweet, and distinguished. Incredible longevity for the price. A solid 10.

  8. This is my favorite perfume; I have only beautiful words for it. It’s affordable, lasts all day on skin and clothes, and gives a real energy boost. Super citrusy but with that little sweet fruity touch that makes it spectacular. As always, Natura doing it right.

  9. It smells cheap. Sometimes I wonder if we even know what ‘sophisticated’ means, but whatever it is, this perfume is the exact opposite.

  10. I love it so much! It’s super citrusy, rich, and refreshing for hot days. The opening is a bit strong, but I love it because, being a summer scent, it has great sillage. In my case, I’ve had the bottle for years and it concentrated; now the sweet mandarin comes through much more. I think it’s another best-seller from Natura along with Humor 1. It’s absolutely worth it and one of my summer favorites, plus I feel it’s very original.

    I’m a huge fan of gourmand, hyper-sweet perfumes. A friend gifted this to me for my birthday and I was fascinated; I’m so glad she did because I probably never would have tried it without her. It’s citrusy and fresh, but I feel it’s very feminine. It reminds me of perfumes for girls and teenagers in the 2000s. It brings me joy and energy. It smells like orange with delicate flowers. It’s one of the few fragrances I can handle during Argentina’s intense summer.

  12. I’m not usually a fan of citrus, but I loved this one. At first, it has a fresh, citrusy opening with a slightly unisex touch. However, as it dries down, the wood notes take over, and on my skin it acquires a slightly sweet nuance while still maintaining that freshness. It’s highly recommended for everyday wear, especially in warm climates, where it works wonderfully.

  13. I don’t like it. It smells very citrusy and heavy. It leans more towards unisex/masculine and just doesn’t work well on my skin.

    Reply
  14. Fresh, clean, refined, empowered, and sensual. It works for the gym, a romantic date in the morning or afternoon, staying home with the laptop writing, a business meeting, going to school or the movies… For a reason it’s the best-seller at Natura, and yet I hadn’t smelled it on anyone before; it turned out to be a gem. Whoever described the scent as ‘Nona’ nailed it.

  15. It’s citrusy but woody, lasts for hours on skin and clothes. It’s good for summer on stifling days and very versatile for day or night. I don’t know why you’d wear it to the gym; I wouldn’t because the scent can be overwhelming. Some people love it and others hate it, but personally, I like it.

    Super citrusy, it’s not ugly but it has an ingredient (I’m not sure which one) that makes it a bit heavy and tiring, boring after a while. It’s not the typical fresh citrus of mid-summer, but a heavy citrus, more like for spring or autumn.

    Something unisex, not sweet at all. What I smell most is bitter orange with a jasmine base. It’s a fresh eau de toilette for summer, for everyday wear. It’s true that I imagine a girl/woman with a cheerful personality!

  18. This is my perfume for working out or going for a walk because it smells like you’re eating grapefruit on freshly cut, wet grass on a sunny afternoon… It’s freshness and cleanliness to the extreme.

  19. What a marvel!! If you’re a woman who likes to wear a fresh perfume without losing femininity and delicacy, you have to try it. The first thing you feel is a fresh, clean bergamot; bitter orange is noticeable too, all over a non-too-sour background with very pleasant fresh green notes that take the edge off the lemon and orange. After a while, the slight sweetness of jasmine and muguet appears, but it’s quite subtle. At all times you feel the greenery, the freshness; this fragrance is not sweet at all: it’s slightly floral, always accompanied by a citrus and fresh scent that’s pleasant to wear on clothes. I recommend it to a cheerful, lively woman who laughs a lot. Its sillage is quite weak like most Natura eau de toillettes, but at least it has a nice smell. Its longevity isn’t the best either, although it lasts many hours on clothes (the next day if you wear the same clothes, you’ll surely notice it still smells like lemon with jasmine).

    It’s not super citrusy; it’s more floral with a sweet touch. It lasts until I’ve washed my clothes twice. It smells amazing, though it doesn’t make me fall in love with it. It’s very pretty and feminine, perfect for cool afternoons, but zero for hot days. Warning: use a little or you’ll suffocate everyone around you, haha 🤪

  21. On my skin, it’s complicated; it has different phases. At one moment it smells like one thing, and a short while later, something totally different. I understand perfumes have stages, but I’ve never experienced something so confusing. The fragrance seems simple: a citrus opening, almost unisex, and then it takes me to the sweetness of little girls’ perfumes for 15-year-olds or younger, nothing like the start. It’s two extremes that don’t blend. I don’t get it, I don’t know what it’s doing. It’s not for me. I’m not saying you have to believe me, it’s my personal opinion on how it projects on my skin; some people adore it. I agree with some who say it’s more for teenagers, something sporty, for everyday wear.

  22. I had it, used it, and gave it away because it didn’t blow my mind. Look, it’s not a bad perfume, simply the Kaiak Adventure men’s version was much better (in my opinion)

  23. Clean and citrusy, affordable and in my opinion unisex. Summer and fresh, a basic scent.

  24. I bought it a couple of times back in the day. It’s a rich, fresh citrus with a floral touch, giving the sensation of just stepping out of the shower. Just yesterday I smelled it on the bus and I felt like buying it again.

  25. A classic in my life!!! I’ve been wearing it for about 15 years now, but less and less because it’s so overused. It lasts forever on clothes and the dry-down is spectacular.

    It’s super fresh, smells like orange/tangerine, it’s delicious, smells clean, somewhat ‘sporty’, it screams SUMMER, leaves a soft and rich trail. For those who like orangey citrus, it’s good. I recommend it for women with strong personalities.

    It’s one of those all-time scents… I always repurchase it. I love how affordable it is and how delicious it smells. It’s a very well-executed citrus and I love its ‘clean’ scent; it’s one of my all-time favorites, a natura classic.

  28. Classic Kaiak is an all-terrain feminine fragrance, very versatile with its blend of sweet fruits and citrus, flowers, and an avian base that I attribute to heliotrope; if I try to find a similar scent, I’d say Tommy Girl, but Kaiak is creamier in the dry-down. It’s rich and wearable for hot seasons, but it’s 100% casual. Performance is average, projection is moderate, and longevity is about four hours; still, considering it’s an EDT, I think the performance is good for the price, especially if you can get it on sale. Who will like it: lovers of fruity perfumes like Cacharel’s Amor Amor.
