Ilía Completa by Natura

Terrible. Didn’t like it at all.

So pretty! Smells like a super delicate rose soap with touches of mandarin and bergamot, perfect for spring and summer. It’s a more accessible and long-lasting version of Lancôme’s Idole—very similar but with fewer fruity notes. I wouldn’t buy it since there are plenty of similar fragrances, though I do have to admit it looks stunning.

I didn’t like it. I bought it for the notes expecting something fresh and sparkling, but the lemon doesn’t stand out. On skin, the flowers dominate until it becomes powdery. My daughter said it smells like an old lady, too matronly for me. I ended up gifting it to my husband’s grandmother, and she adores it; it’s delicate and feminine just like her.

Total surprise regarding the longevity for an aquatic and citrusy perfume. It’s very citrusy and soapy but without any powderiness. The patchouli is soft, keeping it feminine; natural citrus notes are usually unisex, but this Ilía is floral. You can clearly smell the orange blossom and peony, very watery, along with the rose and other blended flowers, with cedar in the base. The only downside is the price: here it costs $40-45 USD for 50 ml. It’s pleasant, but if you can’t get it cheaper, it’s not worth it. In my case, my Natura consultant negotiates prices for me, so I get it more affordably.

I liked it, even though I’m not a fan of fresh or citrus scents. Turns out it’s a bit sweet, but not gourmand or anything like that.

I bought it because of its similarity to Idole according to reviews, but on my skin it felt very aquatic and then woody; I didn’t feel comfortable. The note I like most from Idole, the roses, is present from start to finish in that one. It’s a good perfume with great longevity and an incredible price, but it just wasn’t for me.

It’s the same as Ciel but with much better longevity and sillage. I wouldn’t repurchase.

I just applied it and it blew my expectations away, for the better! I feared it wouldn’t match Ilia’s DNA. I expected a Patagonian freshness, but it threw me ‘Treasure Island’: a scent of floral exuberance, fruits, herbs, and water. It smells clean all the time; at first, it reminds me of the legendary Hum No Ar, fresher and less soapy, and also Armani’s Acqua di Gio female. It captures all the botanical essences of a seductive beach. It was a bomb, a wave that surfers love, full of memories of a time with bold and intense fragrances. It matches Ilia’s DNA; I smell bergamot, pear (undeclared), maybe watermelon, peony, peppermint, jasmine, herbs, aquatic accords—cheerful, fresh, and with the ideal sweetness for summer. Still need to test the dry-down. I feel it’s very complete; maybe that was Kato’s goal. Recommend trying before using.

One of my favorites of the year, it arrived just when it was cold and works amazingly well. I can’t believe I haven’t ordered another bottle yet.

The moment I tried it, it immediately reminded me of the classic Idole, but then you start noticing the differences. I love the Idole style for its versatility and youthful freshness that bonded my mom and me; Ilía Completa captures about 85% of that vibe with a more pronounced jasmine and a watery touch that evokes summer, justifying its turquoise bottle. I bought it in winter and it gets lost in the cold, so I’ll save it to let it mature with the heat. It’s totally worth the $37 (I’ve paid as little as $17 on sale); it’s super pleasant if you like florals, but if you’re sensitive to scents, test it first.

At first, it smells like classic Idole, but then you notice the differences. I love the Idole style for its youthful freshness and versatility; my mom and I share it, and we both adore Ilía Completa. It’s about 85% similar, but with a more pronounced jasmine and an aquatic note that gives a summer freshness, perfect for the turquoise bottle. I bought it in winter, and it loses strength in the cold, so I’ll save it for when the temperature rises. It’s totally worth $37 (it dropped to $26 or less on sale; I got mine for $17 with coupons). If you love flowers, buy blind on sale; if you get overwhelmed by them, test it first.

Based on the reviews, I expected something else, but it reminds me TOO much of classic Ciel (the blue one), a fragrance I like but got tired of smelling everywhere. It’s similar even in the bottle color! I don’t understand why that resemblance doesn’t have more votes. Anyway, it smells good, with a very prominent jasmine. It doesn’t drive me crazy, it’s not my style, and I wouldn’t buy it again, but for jasmine fanatics, it’s an excellent choice.

This is the perfume I’d wear on a scorching hot day over 30 degrees. It’s not light; quite the opposite, it feels substantial and lasts a long time. I don’t like typical citrus scents. It has exquisite fruit notes, aquatic touches, musk, peony, and jasmine. The turquoise color looks great, giving the sensation of being in a pool. To my nose, it’s very original, nothing like its little siblings from the same line.
