Terribly complex and very particular, I haven’t heard similar aromas since I started with this (ten years ago). It’s a floral-woody scent with earthy accents, leaning more towards the feminine than the masculine; I would need something dirtier or darker in the base notes to feel comfortable. Its presence is important, the sillage is notable, and it seems to have very good longevity. It’s not for blind buying; it demands careful testing, it feels dense and substantial, which won’t please everyone. The flowers, woods, resins, and earth bring it close to a traditional school style (although not strictly speaking), which might make some feel it’s appropriate for older ladies. It’s true that it could easily belong to a house selling for over $100. Worth noting, as happens with many of this company’s products, no one beats them in quality-to-price ratio. Addendum: Almost six hours have passed since I applied it. An hour and a half ago, it left an intense wood-resin scent, with marked terpene notes, the smell of oil used to dilute oil paints, an industrial wood scent with menthol notes, perhaps due to conifers. At this stage, the blend turns masculine: opens woody, moves to florals, and dies out in terpene resins. I reiterate my first impression: it is really complex. Update: I did hear something similar, but I don’t remember exactly what; it was one of Fueguia, if my memory doesn’t fail, Fueguier. The main characteristic was a very marked terpene note, but combined without the complexity of Ekos. Summary: compositions of this type are not abundant, which is why its originality lies.
Historically, in literature and legends, the forest inspires irrational fear. It makes sense, who knows what we’ll find? Wild animals, fantastic beings, perhaps a hunter or, at worst of our fears, another human being. It’s understandable that people are terrified by Ekos Alma. It’s an amphibious creature walking between perfume and the essence of a gloomy, humid, mysterious forest. In this syncretism, some benefit and others are harmed: blind buyers and those who fear the unknown. Ekos Alma is like black-and-white newspaper photos, lost Shostakovich tunes, mystical zones for those who live off death, irreparable places for those who lost a loved one. It evokes memories of fields where ripe grapes emit sweetness to be preyed upon by the soil. That late grape must combined with woods lives in Ekos Alma: earthy, resinous, woody, ostentatious. I see humidity, light browns, grays, I perceive vetiver, I smell sandalwood. I’m transported to the Amazon and could walk the paths of Encre Noire. ‘Oh, minha terra querida, És meu berço e meu lar, De florestas exuberantes, Onden cantam sabiás, Meu estado de Rondônia, No coração da Amazônia, De ti eu quero contar.’
Ekos Alma 2019 batch: This fragrance isn’t easy… It’s one of those you don’t wear every day. It’s not like many want to categorize it as ‘niche’ (I’d like to know what niche they compare it to). Natura wanted to step out of the typical catalog fragrance script and they succeeded. The result is good, but nothing more. It’s this different approach that makes it work as an aroma, but not as a perfume. I would recommend Ekos Alma for those who collect scents, for people who like to own them and smell different things. For collectors, nothing more. I can’t find an occasion to use it; it doesn’t seem to go with anything: not daily, not casual, not formal, not informal, not elegant, not office-appropriate. Only for the user themselves to feel and enjoy it (if they do). We need to talk about performance: the longevity is average for an EDP but the projection is strong. The day we bought it, my wife sprayed it once on her hand and it was detectable from almost 2 meters away; when she left, the scent lingered in the air, incredible. I think due to the hype, many men wanted to claim it’s masculine or unisex as an excuse to own it and be part of Natura’s ‘high perfumery’. The reality is that from the start it feels feminine, it’s neither unisex-masculine nor masculine, although there will always be someone who says a perfume has no gender. To summarize: good aromatic composition, recommended for collectors. Not a very good perfume, not recommended for use in almost any situation.
Personally, I loved it; it’s a complex aroma without a doubt, I hadn’t heard anything like this before. Although many say it’s not wearable, I saw it as perfect for a night out on a rainy day, with this weather that makes the earth release its rich scent. I agree it’s complex and you can’t just use it willy-nilly, but it’s an aroma that invites me to know it more, it drives me crazy, it’s a well-made thing with good longevity.
This perfume smells like a sweet honey intoxication from the heart of the Amazon.
Wouu jujujui, Natura really won the Oscar here! What a tremendous creation, a unique aroma that doesn’t smell like anything in the stores. I say this with authority because I own about 300 perfumes and this doesn’t smell like any of them. Although it’s unisex, I feel it’s more masculine… Natura really slapped me in the face; I, who am anti-catalog perfumes, had to swallow my prejudices. 50 ml because I couldn’t find 100 or 200; if I don’t buy this one, I’ll also try Homem Coraggio and Essencial Exclusivo. Again, more gems. I should reconsider buying perfumes from big brands or Arab houses, because Natura seems to put effort and quality into their EDPs.
Ekos Alma is as good as it can get; it transports me to another dimension. I’ve been using it for a while and it’s wonderful. It’s woody and balsamic, making you feel in touch with the earth, embraced by scents of resins and wood with a sweet touch like honey liquor, something I haven’t felt in another perfume. As a downside, the longevity is short on my skin, not lasting more than 4 hours, and the sillage is moderate; I should note they are all from the 2019 batch, maybe the 2018 one lasts longer. There’s nothing like it on the market. Personally, I don’t find when to use it, but without a doubt, I feel great with it.
I’ll describe it in a few words: it smells like a rich lady.
In Mexico, on October 9, 2022, it’s marked as ‘last chance’—is it being discontinued? It costs $65. I’d like to know its price in other countries; people always say Natura is cheap, but here at that price you can already buy something decent from Versace, Carolina Herrera, or Armaf. Should I buy it before they take it off the shelves?
Smells like pure native forest, it’s a perfume from Mother Earth and very distinct. The initial sprays are strong, but then you truly enjoy it.
I bought it because of its reputation for being more masculine than feminine and the price. That’s why I don’t regret it: $25 a day in Argentina. The opening is beautiful, smelling of wet earth with lots of vegetation and humidity, like a forest freshly rained on without sun. That lasts less than an hour. The dry down… the only thing I felt was jasmine and lots more jasmine, nothing else. No other flowers, no sweetness, no honey (which isn’t even honey), or any of the 800 base notes. The car seemed freshly sprayed with GLADE room spray… jasmine scent. Projection is about an hour, the opening and some jasmine; then it lingers for another 2-3 hours in a personal bubble with a trail where you leave the scent. Finally, on the skin for a maximum of 4 more hours. Honestly, FOR ME, it’s not worth the official Natura price. I don’t regret it because I bought it at a 50% discount, but the disappointment is huge after waiting months for a good deal. Recommendation: test it directly on your skin from the bottle. It smells very different from the swatch the consultants give you. Most importantly: it’s masculine for 45 minutes, the rest smells like an old lady with a jasmine cologne.
As a girl, I started exploring the world with encyclopedias online. Cultures, customs, ethnicities, religions, climates, and landscapes. At 9, I adored going to any place on the map. I have a weakness for the tropical: wild places, green, with vines and palms, intense heat climates and rains that cleanse everything. The Amazon and its mysteries, vastness, tribes, storms, heat, and its unparalleled flora and fauna. Listening to Amazonian tribal music and feeling this aroma was incredible. It couldn’t have been better achieved. It’s the magical, natural, cyclical, intense, and overwhelming smell I always imagined of that South American jungle. Wet earth after a storm, visible roots, dry and wet woods, freshly grown green leaves and withered ones. Birds singing, animals running, heavy air mixed with sweet tree resins. Exotic flowers with peculiar aromas. Ekos Alma is all of that in a bottle. It’s a fragrance to enjoy alone, to live experiences, and to be transported to another place. It’s not equal to another. It wasn’t made for compliments or opinions. It’s the perfume of nature, of the real, of life, and of what lies beyond.
My wife sells Natura products and doesn’t know they plan to discontinue this one, but I recommend buying it now; it’s a fragrance bomb.
A different and very cool fragrance. It doesn’t look like something from a catalog; it smells niche due to its quality and aroma. Nothing difficult, very versatile, ideal for fresh and humid spring or autumn days. If you know Le Labo’s The Noir 29 or Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir, it will sound familiar: it’s wet rose with woods, floral-woody but also oriental due to that opulence. They say it uses natural ingredients from the Amazon, and honestly, it smells very natural. Hints of resins, wet earth, sun-warmed woods, honeyed flowers… I imagine the jungle or a tropical botanical garden. Simple elegance that doesn’t shout but is felt. It generates good vibes, getting positive comments from both men and women. Performance is superior to 8 hours, expansive for the first two hours, then creates a personal bubble. In Spain, it costs €86 plus shipping. Forget the brand; this is another level. It might seem excessive, but as a high-quality niche fragrance, it’s justified. It deserves no less than €80. Highly recommended, a hidden gem. Au revoir!
If I want to smell like this, I mix a bit of earth, grass, water, alcohol, a touch of wood, and patchouli, and that’s it. I have the Ekos Alma, a fragrance that shouldn’t be named that. It smells like a shower, wet earth with grass and water, alcohol, a touch of wood, and patchouli. That’s all.
It’s a unique, special, and distinct fragrance. As several others mentioned, it smells like walking through a humid jungle, something earthy but pleasant. The fragrance quality is excellent. In my case, I didn’t find many occasions to wear it, and it wasn’t a scent that drove me crazy to use, no matter how interesting it was. Besides, it leans a bit more towards the feminine side, even though it’s unisex, so I ended up selling it.
A unique beauty. A fragrance that would easily be worth $200-$400 if it had ‘Creed’ or ‘Parfums de Marly’ in its name. A masterpiece, a unique experience with unparalleled complexity. Absolutely unisex, very versatile, yet capable of standing out in both formal and intimate situations. Notes of wet woods, earth, honey, nuts, incense, ash, smoke, and spices. A fragrance worthy of the perfume hall of fame. If you can get your hands on it, buy it, no matter what. Any fragrance enthusiast must have it in their collection.
I think it’s a fragrance very similar to Le Labo’s The Noir 29.
A different aroma, an ode to the smell of the jungle, wet earth, resins, and woods. It’s like walking through the jungle after the rain, touching the trunks of centennial trees. On my skin, no flower is perceived; all the resins are noticeable from the start, being a bit overwhelming at first, then they drop in intensity and stay consistent for 6 hours. A hint of sweetness, like honey, very subtle, from one of the resins is detectable. It could be the perfume of a shamanic priestess, like the Lady of Cao or Pachamama. From the box, the bottle, and the composition, it’s a work of art. I hope it isn’t discontinued.
Ekos Alma is a unique piece in my collection. While it’s not my favorite, I recognize it as one-of-a-kind. In my opinion, it’s a fragrance that transports you to another place, to the woods or the countryside; for me, it literally took me back to my grandmother’s garden on a rainy day, filled with plants and trees. It smells of dampness, exactly like vegetation after a downpour, of living flowers, petrichor, falling leaves mixing with the earth, and the resinous bark of trees—all in a natural state, a wild and deep scent. The quality is excellent, it projects well, and lasts a long time. With its earthy, balsamic, and woody composition, it’s perfectly unisex; I think men who prefer woody fougères will like it. I enjoy watching the rain as much as I do, but I must admit it’s hard for me to find occasions to wear it. However, I believe it’s more appropriate for autumn. Who will like it? Fans of the house Creed and fragrances that teleport you.
I still don’t understand how no one has linked this Ekos Alma by Natura with Magnificently Dubai by Joe Malone yet. They’re identical.
Complex perfume. Not for beginners, but for noses experienced in perfumery. The flowers stay in the background against the base notes (balsam, myrrh, vetiver, liana, olibanum). What remains on the skin is very balsamic, woody, earthy, and herbal. It’s a beautiful scent, worth trying as an olfactory experience, but I don’t think I’d wear it in my daily life, so I only tested it in a decant and wouldn’t buy it myself.
It’s a pleasant perfume, but I have to say: it’s feminine. Even if you force it to be unisex, in essence, it is. If you convince yourself it’s masculine out of shame for using a feminine one, then you don’t have things clear. Either you like it or you don’t, either you use it or you don’t, but don’t make it say things it never said. The journey to the Amazon, the jungle, the shamans… not so much. Okay, it’s a perfume and it’s simpler than that. An essence has more emotional than practical consumption: you like it or you don’t, and that’s it. I’ve read every description… it seems like no one wants to miss out on being the poet who best honored Ekos Alma. This complex has nothing special, it’s well-executed and that’s all.
It smells balsamic and herbal. On me, the myrrh and balsams are very prominent, with flowers in the background. It’s very nice and unique. Goes great on rainy days.
Ugh, it smells super unique and has nothing like anything else. It’s well-made with real essences from the Brazilian rainforest. It’s a sweet woody, rich scent that literally transports you to the jungle: wet smells, sweet, aquatic notes of damp earth. It’s not for everyone, but for someone with a personality who knows how to wear it.
Personally, I see it as more masculine than feminine: balsamic, herbal, and refined. I don’t detect any floral notes in any phase. The opening is strong with marked yerba mate and pepper, moving into a resinous and spicy aroma. Sometimes it smells like wet grass after rain in the forest. It has a great development, nothing linear, it’s a complete fragrance, different, and long-lasting. I like it, but it doesn’t obsess me; ideal for cold climates, autumn, and winter. I still haven’t found the perfect moment to wear it. Without a doubt, it won’t go unnoticed, whether you like it or not. Ekos Alma lives up to its name: the soul of an Amazonian forest.
It’s unique! My boyfriend went through almost four bottles before they discontinued it. It’s pure unisex; if he wore it, I’d buy it for myself. People constantly asked what perfume it was, non-stop saying ‘smells so good.’ It lasts for hours with an incredible trail; you don’t even need to get close to smell it. It smells like a forest faun, a fairy, or a magical being: pure honey, woods, balsamic, violets, and moss. It’s literally a dream forest. Ekos Alma and Essencial Oud are Natura’s best creations, surpassing any designer brand like Dior, YSL, or Givenchy. These guys really step up and smell like true niche. P.S.: I hope Natura brings this masterpiece back.
My wife bought it for me. It’s exquisite, long-lasting, and projects well. Very particular; in my opinion, it leans more feminine than masculine. I detect a honeyed and powdery touch that makes it unique, which is why many say it’s niche. Its aromatic quality and singularity are top-notch. Of course, it’s wearable; who doesn’t want to smell good? It has some versatility if you know how to regulate the sprays based on the weather.
First off, I disagree with those who say it’s feminine or that calling it unisex is self-deception; if you’re not using floral notes, you don’t understand that it’s not ‘for men’ out of sexism, but a luxury niche perfume. It lasts about 2 hours projecting, then settles into a personal bubble for another 7 hours before fading to skin scent. Despite being floral, the vetiver and balsamic blend gives it a totally unisex vibe, perfect for winter or spring. If you get a chance to buy it, DO IT; considering the price you can get it for, I promise you won’t regret it.
Great find from Natura, but after wearing it three times, I don’t feel it’s as groundbreaking as everyone claims. On my skin, it behaves like an average EDP: starts with prominent pepper notes, then shifts to woody and resinous, and as it dries down, a honey-like sweetness becomes more noticeable. The spices linger until the very end. If I compare it, it’s like a blend of Encre Noire (the woods and vetiver), Declaration d’Un Soir Intense by Cartier (the floral and spicy aspects), and L’Envol by Cartier EDT (the honey sweetness). It stands out for using notes from native Amazonian products.
Completely unisex perfume and a clone of Le Labo’s Noir 29 (and Emper’s Black 92 as well). By far the best scent in Natura’s catalog, a shame they discontinued it. Lasting power is moderately long, projection is moderate, and it lasts hours on skin. A true hit and a true mistake to bury it.
It’s a beast of a perfume, a strange and unique gem. Please, never compare it to Magia da Floresta—that’s a plastic disaster! This Alma is captivating and my go-to choice exclusively on rainy days. I feel it envelops me with its warmth and extreme longevity; even at six hours, you can still detect it around, with elegant, sharp flowers that I love. It can even make me dizzy, which is why I choose it to accompany my activities on rainy days. No one has ever praised it, but clearly, I don’t choose scents based on what others think, but how I want to feel myself 🙂
Undoubtedly the best quality/price perfume in the world, haha. I don’t believe there’s anything that costs what this does and smells this good. It has immense quality, crafted like a niche perfume—super well-rounded, interesting, highly identifiable, even sophisticated. It feels moist yet resinous, without being smoky, but floral and sweet at the same time. It’s a wild thing, hahaha. You have to try it; it’s quite similar to The Noir 29 (just a bit more feminine from Natura).
Strange, temperamental, forest-like, and ambered all at once. It smells like yellow tree tears that fell to the earth on a night of white light.
It’s a perfume I’d always want to own. Its scent is balsamic and floral—that’s the best way I can describe it, with a touch of wood. Nostalgic to me, and slightly intoxicating. I adore its aroma, almost more than any other.
A connection to the earth that no longer exists. Ekkos Alma 2019 isn’t just a perfume; for me, it’s a work of art. I use it in very specific moments: when I need to focus, when I seek peace, introspection, clarity. There’s something in its aroma that anchors me, calms me, like a silent ritual between skin and soul. Call me crazy, but I feel this perfume connects me directly to the earth. It’s like breathing roots, resins, sap. Like it reminds me I’m part of something bigger, something that doesn’t need explaining, just feeling. It’s a balsamic, resinous, deep scent. It has character, but it doesn’t shout. It’s not for everyone, I know. It has that spiritual quality many might not understand. But if you get it, if you feel it, it accompanies you in a way few perfumes can. It hurts me to know it’s discontinued. I treasure mine and use it carefully: just two sprays, occasionally, like opening a sacred box for a few seconds. I’m eager to try the 2025 edition, but this 2019 version has something special… something irreplaceable.
I have the 2019 version and I treat it like gold. It’s wonderful, unique, long-lasting, and deserves to be categorized as niche. The new edition is coming out soon; I’m eagerly waiting for it and hope it respects the original masterpiece.
I agree 100% with what Exocet said. Simply to summarize the sensations he describes, I’ll add: it smells like wild honey. The kind produced by bees in natural habitats, where they gather nectar from native flowers to create it. This Natura scent smells exactly like that particular honey. Very rich. Would I use it? No. Is it a gem anyway? Yes.
I had a friend in Brazil order this for me; I couldn’t find it here in Spain. It was a bit pricey—I think I paid around €45 for 50ml. I’m not sure if that’s excessive, but it didn’t feel as cheap as people claim; €90 for 100ml is definitely outside normal catalog pricing. Setting quality aside, which feels superior, the scent is rich. I didn’t expect it to be so sweet, and I’m not sure how much I’ll use it since I don’t love sweet fragrances that much. The first spray reminded me of Night Flyer, maybe a hint of earthiness, but then I tested it on the other hand and they had nothing in common. Perhaps there’s a very subtle similarity at times, but I wouldn’t compare them directly. Later, it reminded me of another scent I’d never tried—The Noir 29 by Le Labo—but I did own the equivalent Divain 755, and yes, this one reminded me of that a lot. Though the other was great (I sold it because it felt too sweet and good, and this might have the same fate), the other seemed more subtle, making the sweetness more wearable. It’s good and interesting, but I’m not sure I’ll use it much. It feels like high quality; when I tested Night Flyer on the other hand, this one just disappeared. Perfectly crafted.
When trees embrace us and perfumery becomes art… It’s a resinous scent that moves and comforts, a perfume with a true soul.
