Great vibe, starting with citrus like grapefruit. Reminds me of the classic Cacharel Man, but with more punch and youthful energy.
It’s a fragrance that delivers, with very prominent sweet woods. Note: it’s definitely not for suffocating hot days.
A magnificent Natura fragrance, and I love it because it smells very much like Krizia Moods, one of my favorites. It has a unique aroma, and I recommend it 100% because Krizia Moods is also super hard to find.
Magnificent Natura fragrance. I like it so much because it’s very similar to Krizia’s Moods, which is one of my favorites. It has a unique scent, I recommend it 100% because besides, Moods is very hard to find.
Rich fragrance, but it stains clothes.
Excellent fragrance, woody and fresh notes. Gets lots of compliments, ideal for cold and temperate climates, day and night, with formal use. Excellent trail and longevity: over 7h on skin and probably over 12h on clothes.
Excellent fragrance, woody and fresh, it gets tons of compliments. Ideal for cold and temperate climates, day or night, with a more formal vibe. Sillage and longevity are top-notch: over 7 hours on skin and probably more than 12 hours on clothes.
What a gem. Very classic, fresh, and masculine. At first, you get two distinct lines: on one side woods and citrus; on the other, a herbal, honeyed base reminiscent of The One or Pulse. Gradually they blend into a powerful, aristocratic herbal scent that’s incredibly attractive. This is a true Eau de Parfum—it lasts all day, easily over 12 hours. It’s versatile: perfect for the office, day or night, summer or winter. However, it’s not for daily casual wear; it’s reserved for social and formal occasions. Totally worth it.
Rich. Very classic, fresh, and masculine. At first, two strands: on one side classic woods and citrus; on the other, a herbal and honeyed base like The One and Pulse. Gradually they fuse to create an attractive, particular, and stately herbal force. Plus, it’s a real Eau de Parfum, lasts all day, easily over 12h. I feel it’s versatile: great for the office, day and night, summer and winter. However, it would get lost for casual daily use. It’s for social and formal functions. Definitely worth it.
Classic and well-masculine. Nothing sweet, pure wood with citrus but very well made and balanced. Projects for two hours or more. Requires semi-formal or formal attire, works best from autumn and in enclosed spaces. For refined men who want to project masculinity, maturity, seriousness, and good taste. This is the perfume I’d choose for an interview. A must-have for any man over 25.
Today, 2021, is a charming and hyper-masculine fragrance. It’s no longer sold, which is a shame, especially here in Peru. Great for the office boss, imposing. Much better than many modern designer scents that smell rich but not purely masculine. Consistent wood combo with personality. Highly recommended. Update 07 Dec 2021: Back in stock.
In 2021, I’d say it’s enchanting, hyper-masculine, and one of those that’s no longer sold. What a shame they pulled it from the market, especially here in Peru. Perfect for the office boss—imposing and far superior to many designer scents today that smell nice but lack pure masculinity. It’s a consistent, personality-packed wood combo. Highly recommended. Update from December 7, 2021: it’s back on sale.
Hello. I bought it because it was discontinued, but I found it on my way and didn’t want to pass it up. It’s a 1995 batch. The scent is identical to Natura’s Essencial Intense, no differences. The only difference is performance; both are EDPs. Don’t feel bad if you can’t find it; the Intense is still current and they are the same. Scent: 8.5. Performance: Testing. Recommended.
Great day. Fresh spicy opening with sweet citrus and nutmeg. Mid-phase is green and masculine, finishing seductive and ‘alpha male’. Delicious, 90s cut, vintage DNA. Fresh-warm duality, elegant, semi-formal to formal. Projects a mature, confident, and wealthy man. Not for kids, ideal for 25+. Lasts 7h on skin and longer on clothes. Strong trail and projection. Optimal for all climates. For me, one of Natura’s top three. A literal jewel.
A classic daily driver, the typical ‘your dad’ scent. Smells like the 80s or 90s. Very versatile except in peak heat. Explosive projection at first but fades quickly. Moderate longevity depending on skin and weather. It’s very different from modern scents; maybe it’s ‘the different one,’ but it delivers. Only recommend if you like old school.
It’s the typical classic everyday fragrance your dad used to wear… Feels like something from the 80s or 90s… Quite versatile, except when it’s really hot. Projection is explosive in the first few minutes but fades quickly… Longevity depends on skin and weather, but it’s moderate… It’s very different from current scents… It didn’t convince me for my collection… Maybe it’s just ‘the different one,’ which it certainly is… I’d only recommend it if you like old-school fragrances; otherwise, you won’t enjoy it.
Citrus-aromatic with herbal and ‘woody’ notes. Not intense, more like a personal bubble. Reminded me of vintage classics; it didn’t hit me hard, but it’s very pleasant.
It’s a strong opening fragrance, very vintage to my taste. It has nothing to do with Carolina Herrera for Men; the only thing they share is that both are vintage, but the Herrera is a thousand times better, in my opinion. It’s pleasant and I think it’s for people 35 to 40 years old and up. Cheers.
The scent is very similar to Drakkar Noir on my skin, but with less lavender and more citrus, which sweetens in the dry-down. Once dried, they’re even closer, though nuances remain: DN feels soapy while EM is more woody. Projection is good for the first 2 hours, then drops to a personal bubble, but you can still smell it for another 4 hours, followed by 2 hours close to the skin. Even after 10 hours, you can still catch a whiff if you press your nose against it. The downside is the scent might feel old-fashioned to some; plus, it’s unavailable in Europe (though available in the Americas). On the plus side, it’s very versatile. If you like the Drakkar Noir DNA, here’s a more recommended alternative with similar or lower price, better performance, and skin-friendly ingredients. Cheers.
On my skin, it smells very similar to Drakkar Noir, but with less lavender and more citrus. At the end, it sweetens a bit; when it dries down, they resemble each other more, though they retain differences: DN is more soapy and EM is more woody. The projection is very good for the first two hours, then it drops to a personal bubble but you can still smell it effortlessly for another 4 hours, the next 2 hours are skin scent, and after 10 hours I can still detect it by sniffing. The downside is that the scent can feel old-fashioned for certain audiences, plus it’s no longer sold in Europe (yes, in America). On the plus side, it’s very versatile and works for many situations. If you like the DNA of Drakkar Noir, here’s a more recommended alternative for my taste, at a similar or lower price, with better performance and skin-friendly INCI ingredients, in line with the Natura house. Au revoir!
I bought it on sale at Natura; it was the only one from the Essentiels line I was missing, and it surprised me. It’s a classic, that woody scent is exquisite. The opening is potent, then it fades, but you can still smell it quite a bit and it lasts a long time. It’s very masculine and for those who like it by age or style, it’s a great fragrance. It’s not as similar to the Intense because the focus is on Virginia cedar and not lavender. A true classic.
Classic masculine fragrance. If you’re looking for a men’s perfume in the dictionary, this is one of its synonyms. I have a sample, but I plan to buy the bottle to use at the office in autumn/winter. I didn’t expect much, but it delivers. I sense a Coca-Cola vibe. The opening smells like rich lemon (probably the blend of grapefruit and bergamot). It feels very pleasant. It’s not innovative, but it performs and performs.
It’s a bit like the Drakkar Noir style, though not the same. It recalls that vintage soapy shaving cream. There’s no mint here, but there are amber and woody notes that define its classic masculine style. Incredible quality for the price; I declared myself a fan of this style and it’s one of my favorites, along with the Intense, which is practically the same. The performance is average, but a friend wore it and when he arrived, he invaded the whole room with his fragrance. I don’t know if he overapplied it, but the scent had great presence. It’s a strong opening fragrance, very vintage to my taste. It has nothing to do with Carolina Herrera for Men, although both are vintage; the Herrera is a thousand times better, in my opinion. It’s pleasant and I think it’s for people 35 to 40 years old and up.
The first time I thought it had gone bad, but now I understand it’s vintage. In my opinion, it’s a bit repellent.
The first time I smelled it, I thought it had gone bad, but now I understand it’s a vintage-style fragrance. That’s my take—it’s a bit repellent.
The opening is impressive: citrusy, green, and herbal. I was surprised by the quality; it doesn’t seem like a $40 fragrance, it smells expensive. At first, it hits with the citrus and green notes, like a pine and cedar forest, then settles into rich woods. It reminds me a lot of Versace Baby Blue Jeans. Smells like an adult, dominant guy who attracts attention. I recommend it for meetings or formal dates, and even for daily wear. I haven’t tested it in extreme heat, but at 77°F (25°C) it’s not bothersome. The longevity is good, projecting about 2 hours at a meter, and the trail is incredible. After two hours, the intensity drops, but on clothes it lasts a minimum of 8 hours and on fabric up to two days, even after washing. It’s not for everyone, but it’s perfect for those who want to smell vintage.
If basil ruled, it would be perfect. Still, its scent is linear and addictive.
A delight, very masculine and serious, addictive in my opinion. Smelling like a 30-year-old man in this is pure pleasure. Reminds me of Jaguar and Guerlain Heritage, in my perception.
Tastes delicious, very reminiscent of shaving foam or a barbershop. To my nose, it’s almost identical to Cool Water but with more citrus; at the top, you get bergamot and grapefruit over a green resinous base, like juniper or rosemary. The rest blends into a homogeneous body and dries down slightly sweet, yet remains very fresh—the kind that cools your nose.
Nice fragrance at a good price like Natura, although Arabes are slowly eating into its market share in Latin America. Fresh for my nose on hot days, but not above 26 to 30 degrees on average. Sharp basil opening for 15 minutes with nutmeg, then in the dry down it becomes citrusy with sweet grapefruit, bergamot, and patchouli. Longevity on skin is good, 4:30 to 5 hours, moderate trail of 45 minutes to an hour, then it stays in the personal bubble.
Exquisite opening: woods, citrus, and aromatics. Simply phenomenal. Perfect for cold and temperate climates; I like it in warm days but don’t recommend using it above 25 degrees.
Opening similar to Drakkar Noir but without being heavy or coarse. It’s extra spicy and evolves into woods, a good fresh and masculine blend, somewhat citrusy that complements the aromatic and spicy notes. It’s not new or the best; it leans vintage but is good, masculine, and long-lasting. I don’t think it projects, but it has decent trail and sillage, excellent performance. It sits between formal and informal; I wouldn’t use it for something special. If you can grab it for under 600 Mexican pesos, it’s an excellent buy for your collection.
Great fragrance; my first purchase from Natura and I liked it. What strikes me most is the fresh, very masculine citrus opening. People have told me, ‘you smell great.’ The downside is the projection and trail are short, ranging from moderate to weak; if it had more power, it would be my signature scent and I wouldn’t have to choose between several options.
Very exclusive and refreshing, fougere-style. It has hints of Eros Energy and Arbo Intenso; they’re classics but with different ingredients, a true marvel. I’ve tried almost every comparison out there, and this doesn’t even come close; try it before judging based on user reviews alone.
Starts citrusy for a few minutes, then reveals the green notes, evolving into a typical 90s fougere with a woody base. Very rich for men over 30, versatile for the office or formal and informal outings. Works well in spring, autumn, and non-freezing winters. Down to -8°C. 8/10.
It’s a fougere with strong inspiration from Burberry for Men, but with more contained longevity and a fresher, cleaner lavender paired with aldehydic white flowers that make it enjoyable and flexible. I feel it’s unisex, though the oakmoss and sandalwood lean it toward men in temperate climates. 8/10.
A rich fragrance with a vintage vibe. I was struck by a hyper-realistic conifer note, probably pine or cedar, which reminds me of Patagonia but isn’t listed in the official notes. I gifted it to my dad and he loved it. Scent: 7/10, Longevity: 8/10, Versatility: 10/10. Best for men over 30 who like vintage barber shop scents.
It has a hidden sweetness that I absolutely love. It smells vintage but not old-fashioned; it hits the perfect middle ground: neither childish nor boring. Ideal for spring and daily wear. Lasts over 6 hours on my personal bubble with enough presence to greet people without being annoying. Recommended.
It’s a beast on the skin, lasts all day. The trail is moderate for me; it doesn’t invade personal space, though I might change my mind over time.
