Essencial Sentir by Natura

To me, it smells more like soap or shampoo. It’s like those Natura soaps they sell you with the perfume, but with more intensity. The good thing about that is you’ll always smell freshly out of the shower. Decent projection, but I don’t see it as masculine as the votes here say. I’d say it’s close to being unisex

As similars I’ve had the Vibrant Leather from Zara, but this Natura version projects more and lasts a bit longer, fresh but works for every occasion, though it will only last you 2 to 4 hours, I find it strange that just like with the Essencial Supreme they list the main tone as woody when there are other odors that stand out, in this case it would be more citrusy and fresh than woody, it still smells young

Rich, very good opening but flat and boring drydown. Plus extremely poor performance.

I’ve been testing a sample, the opening is very rich, a citrusy, clean and sexy explosion. As the hours pass it turns woody, it evokes a forest with damp moss. In this phase I find it too formal and mature for my taste, almost like a grandpa.

Natura is the Carlos Sainz Jr. or Matías Fernández (soccer) of mid- and low-range perfumery: It has everything to shine, but always discontinues its best fragrances or releases others that make no sense. This one goes in the second group, along with Homem Nos, Essencial Ato and Ryo Chuvá. At first it’s very tolerable, it even gets fresh, but it’s missing that smoky pineapple that gives Aventus balance. The drydown is bitter (I can’t pick out the note) and has that very unpleasant note from Ryo Chuvá. Not for under 40.

Natura indeed wants a slice of the Aventus DNA pie 5 years late. But well, better late than never, I guess. Essencial Sentir leans in my opinion more toward bergamot and smokiness, which is why I agree it resembles Montblanc Explorer more than any other inspiration. Little more to say, it’s an all-around average perfume and since there are other Aventus inspirations that do a better job than this Essencial, I consider it dispensable in my opinion.

It’s hard not to compare it to Aventus. The DNA is clear. The difference is that it is mainly a citrus opening that is not sharp at all, then drying down to a pronounced patchouli and what seems to be Iso E Super. After the citrus disappears, the fragrance is somewhat flat, but quite pleasant and does the job. At least on skin, it lasted 6 hrs on me with moderate sillage. If you don’t have a perfume with the Aventus DNA, this is a good option. Otherwise, it may feel somewhat repetitive.

I’ll be brief about this fragrance: Scent: Intense and citrusy, without knowing it I now have a perfume that seems to be a dupe of Creed’s Aventus or in turn, very similar to Club De Nuit Intense; that woody base keeps it in that ‘Essencial’ line from Natura. Longevity: It’s good, I just wore it this morning and the scent lasted on skin for about 6 hours. Projection: Moderate, nothing out of this world, if people get close to you they will notice it. Price: It’s somewhat above usual, this Natura line tends to be a bit high in price. Conclusion: A good fragrance, very citrusy and summery, of excellent quality, I immediately thought of perfumes like Creed’s Aventus, Montblanc Explorer or Armaf’s Club de Nuit. For the price you could go directly for Club de Nuit and spend a little less than for this Natura fragrance.

It was brought to me from Brazil a few months ago, and yes, as they comment there, it is Natura’s “aventus”, which the Kaiak Ultra never was nor feels like it, this one does resemble Aventus, Natura-style, it projects well and lasts well. The problem is that it arrives more than 5 years late to the market, who doesn’t already have one or more perfumes that smell like Aventus? That’s the key, if you already have scents like that it’s not worth it unless you’re a fanatic or collector, and if you don’t have anything Aventus-type or you need to restock, then it can be worth it. I paid U$S50 for it, but Natura prices in Argentina are super expensive and they no longer give coupons for the Essencial, so unless on sale it will come out at 80, so there are better alternatives like CDNI, supramecy not only, etc. So this perfume will be worth it depending on the price you get it for and if you don’t have anything similar in your collection, the ZARA VL costs more for example and lasts much less.

To me, it smells like soap or shampoo, like those Natura gift sets but more intense. The good thing is you’ll always smell fresh out of the shower. Projection is decent, but it’s not as masculine as people say; I think it’s more unisex.

I’ve tried Zara’s Vibrant Leather, but this Natura version projects more and lasts a bit longer. It’s fresh and versatile, though it only lasts 2 to 4 hours. It’s weird they call it woody when citrus and freshness dominate; it smells very young.

I don’t know what’s up with this fragrance: if I spray more than six times, I can’t smell it. But with just two sprays, it follows me all day. Olfactory fatigue is evident. It’s a rich scent, I love it, and it has class.
