Not a single note from the description comes through; it’s just wood and sandalwood. I don’t dislike it, but it’s not worth a single comment.
Since Natura became an Argentine industry giant, something changed in their products. I support local industry, but they used to make better things to compete. Even since Avon took them over, I suspect they use the same base plants and leave the skin bitter like their perfumes—probably the alcohol. Anyway, this doesn’t hold a candle to designer scents. I love sweets, and this is my favorite; it smells like sweet flowers. It lasts over six hours on skin and days on clothes; I sprayed a blazer, and I could still smell it after washing. Perfect for any season or occasion, daily or special. For longevity, versatility, scent, and price, I love it.
Sharp, like most citrus-floral Naturas. It doesn’t have much evolution; it’s for everyday wear. But if you get kicked in the face when smelling it—probably due to the green notes and amber—you might get initial fatigue. Then it evolves like the Jasmine from the catalog. It depends on taste, obviously.
Honestly, I was disappointed at first; I felt the opening was like eating a tangerine—juicy but nothing else. I didn’t sense the other notes. But since I had to use it because I had nothing else, I noticed a very different, delicious, almost creamy scent later on. It was really good. I wasn’t sure about the scent, considering it a waste, and for my personal taste, it is, because it’s not my style and I don’t feel it has a trail. I love it on skin, but it doesn’t project. It’s a shame, but it’s ideal for someone who enjoys perfumes just to smell them. 6/10, not because it’s bad, but because it didn’t meet my expectations.
Blasphemy! Natura already stopped selling this delight in Mexico. We thought it would stay in the catalog for decades; it was the king of Christmas gifts and the biggest absentee in 2024. The sales reps weren’t even told it was its last cycle. It’s a pity because it’s one of their bestsellers. What’s the deal with Essencial Exclusivo? It’s a sweet-and-sour opening; the notes seem to be blackberry, acai, and apple (the classic Essencial DNA), and the tangerine scent fuses perfectly into that sweet-and-sour moment. As it evolves and dries down, the power of magnolia emerges… I’ll cherish what’s left in my 2016 bottle, which is half empty. Thanks to Marion Costero for designing these notes that are so cheerful and elegant; you don’t need to be loud to get attention.
I bought it blind and was disappointed. The perfume never evolved into its heart notes; I’m still left with a quite artificial mandarin scent even after showering. It is a fresh fragrance, yes, but too citrusy and sharp. The flowers never appeared, and I didn’t feel any elegance either.
I love it. For the first ten minutes, it smells super citrusy (mandarin with a bit of orange). After that, it feels like a bouquet of flowers—roses and a delicate mandarin. Definitely a very feminine scent, delicate yet well-presented, with a touch of elegance. I think it could be worn for everyday use or special occasions. It brings me joy, peace, and sweetness.
It’s a very rich fragrance, non-invasive but with a soft floral and very feminine aroma… I bought it a little over a year ago, used about 20 ml, and kept it away from the bathroom in the dark. This week I wore it again, and oh surprise! The opening is so rich I thought, ‘I definitely need to buy a refill,’ but… after 15-20 minutes, it smelled like an old perfume, with a very unpleasant rancid undertone, as if it had expired. And it hasn’t even reached that point yet; the box says it expires in 2026. Conclusion: I won’t buy it again, maybe I won’t use it anymore; and it really lowers my opinion of Natura.
I’ve been letting it macerate because, unfortunately, I find it very soft. A fragrance where the oriental aspect doesn’t come through for me. Clean and floral, the magnolia or freesia feels very watery, almost like warm water they’ve been sitting in. The only issue is that it’s soft and pleasant, but expensive for what it offers. In my country, it costs almost $40, which is pricey given its longevity and lightness.
A white floral less dense than Poison, but in the same style. You can really smell the mixed citrus, which gives it more freshness without losing its floral personality. It’s sweet but easy to wear. I see it more for mild days or winter; it lasts a long time on clothes.
One of my favorite florals. It smells super elegant and fresh at the same time, and the best part is that it’s very potent.
Such a feminine and beautiful perfume to wear! The scent is super pleasant and everyone loves it. It’s very versatile and refined.
The top notes are super noticeable right after applying it, and on my skin, they lasted about 1 or 2 hours without much sillage. Once they soften, the heart and base notes are barely noticeable. It reminds me a bit of ‘Gotas de Color’ by Agata Ruiz. I liked it just as much, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
Ideal for mild days. The magnolia is the star, a sweet and cheerful flower that Natura makes sparkle. I get a bittersweet nectar from the mix of fruit, flower, and citrus, and there I perceive an apple like the one in the album ‘Humor da minha vida’ (just the apple). I also notice the bittersweet touch of blackberries and raspberries; it’s enchanting. It’s a perfume that puts me in a good mood, and it does the same for those who smell it.
I quite like it for everyday wear. The mandarin is too noticeable, along with a bit of orange; soon the roses start coming through, and at the end, the musk stands out. Honestly, I do recommend it; it’s not the best in the world, but it’s good for the collection.
It’s a good perfume, but it didn’t work well for me. The citrus notes make it 100% summer and daytime, but they’re too sharp and invasive to my taste. On my skin, the heart notes are almost non-existent, and the base notes aren’t noticeable. While I don’t enjoy it on skin, it projects better on clothes and feels more distinguished and serious. Very good for work and everyday use. The longevity on skin wasn’t great, though on clothes it was better, lasting almost all day but in a VERY subtle way.
Please excuse me, but I liked this perfume a lot at first, then after a few days of use, I got tired of it… it’s rough, very acidic, and bitter. Although the magnolia is beautiful, the rest of the notes overshadow it. I don’t know what they see as elegant; I wore the bottle halfway and couldn’t take it anymore. I used it to perfume my room and it was like I had sprayed insecticide… my boyfriend doesn’t like it either.
After many years, I bought this fragrance again. I don’t know if they reformulated it or if I bought the refill version. Although it still smells exquisite, the longevity and projection are very poor. I gave it several chances in spring, and on hotter days, its performance really left something to be desired. It’s a beautiful perfume, but I wouldn’t buy it again, mostly because in my country this catalog brand has raised prices a lot.
Nice perfume where floral and citrus notes dominate. It’s very appropriate for adult women because it tends toward elegance, but it doesn’t stop being modern and easy to use. At the top, it feels sweeter, almost like a citrus caramel, but that sweetness drops in seconds as the floral notes develop. It maintains that floral-citrus combination throughout its longevity, and the fruity sweetness isn’t cloying. For me, the base notes never have much prominence; I feel there’s a wood that gives it weight, but it’s more of a juicy fragrance. It has pretty good performance and goes great for autumn and spring.
With this perfume, I discovered that I like fruity-florals. Many people ask me which one it is. I hesitated, but it’s noticeable from meters away. The scent is invasive, but I like it that way. This perfume is spectacular!
This is an exquisite perfume; it passes off as a designer fragrance. I think it has no age limit. It lasts quite well on my skin, more than 6 hours, with a noticeable trail. It doesn’t share exact notes or act as a dupe, but on my skin, it smells very similar to L’Imperatrice by D&G.
I already used Exclussivo Floral, but since Essencial was on sale, the salesperson told me they were the same. They’re not. On my skin, it’s very potent and fruity. I prefer soft florals with a citrus touch. It’s not bad—I used a little bit—but I didn’t feel like repurchasing.
Whenever I wear it, people always ask what I’m wearing. It’s floral, fruity, fresh, and sparkling. Very delicious!
I didn’t like it. On my skin, it feels very weak; I only detect rose and faintly mandarin. Although I like how it smells, I expected better performance—it has no trail and lasts less than 2 hours on me. I wouldn’t buy it again. To be transparent, my mom and my daughter get 12 hours of wear… my mom, who doesn’t get any perfume to last, gets this one to last. I imagine we just don’t get along chemically.
It smells great; thanks to the mix of fruity notes, it could pass for something more expensive.
I see it as fruity, with mandarin very prominent at the start, perfect for fresh days, not for heat, because the note is a bit heavy and sweet. Very delicious; I’m surprised it’s from the catalog.
I think it’s exquisite, but the made-in-Argentina edition has no trail or projection.
Just arrived. As soon as I put it on, my mother asked what I was wearing because she loved it. I’m 24 and I don’t see it as youthful; it’s for 25 and up. It leaves a lot of trail and is noticeable with a small amount. I recommend it for the price and quality.
I detect more fruits and citrus than flowers. It’s fresh, clean, and versatile. The acidic fruity part is always there!
I love it; I just got it and I’m not regretting it. It’s a sweet touch but not cloying. I’m fascinated by this Essential.
