URBANO RECREA NATURA: Many people think this is a scent for teenagers or young adults. I tested it at the gym, and the reactions were incredible. I’m neither young nor old, but it was surprising to see many women and men approaching to ask what I was wearing. There were people aged 25 to 40, most over 30. It’s versatile and appealed to the majority. I disagree with those who say it’s only for the young; it’s different, cheerful, attractive, and captivating. Scent: 8.5, projection: 2 hours, longevity: 6 hours on clothes. Note: there are two versions. The one in the photo is a discontinued EDT. The new version is an EDP in the typical green Urbano bottle, currently in stock. I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know if they differ, but the first version (EDT) captivated me. I found the packaging with the bicycles, it was the last one, so I took it. Ideal for heat, very pleasant, and great value for money. Perfect for the office, gym, beach, walking the dog, or casual outings. A great fit for ages 18-40. I loved it so much that I bought it. Recommended.
Oswal Alanis
Very fresh, it fits perfectly in summer. Citrus dominates, but it has a masculine touch; it feels amazing. The scent denotes it’s for very young people, like teenagers. It can be worn in spring without issues, but in cold weather it doesn’t fit because it barely projects. Medium longevity: about 3 hours on skin and 6 on clothes until it fades. It doesn’t last after washing like other Natura fragrances do. Good fragrance, recommended for young people, school, home, and casual outings. Not suitable for other occasions. Accessible price, striking presentation with an elegant bottle and vintage-style stickers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dodo
Rich and crystal-clear, this is a clean fragrance that captivates the senses. It has a sparkling brightness with a fresh, masculine, and polished sweetness. At first, I noticed a subtle, spicy, and slightly animalic kick—very soft but it really enhances the masculinity; I love it. The ingredients are high quality, as Natura always delivers. It evokes juicy fruits like watermelon, almost 100% water: a sweet freshness without being cloying. It also smells like freshly laundered clothes with an excellent detergent, damp and straight out of the dryer. I adore these sensations.
Oswal Alanis
Very fresh, ideal for summer. Citrus notes dominate with a masculine touch, but it smells very youthful—perfect for teens or spring. In cold weather, it’s barely noticeable; longevity is moderate: about 3 hours on skin and up to 6 on clothes, though it doesn’t linger on fabric like other Natura scents. A good option for school, home, or casual outings, not for formal events. From Natura, affordable and with a striking bottle, though the stickers look more elegant than urban. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Citrusy and for daily wear. It’s almost a clone of Avon’s 300 Km/h Supersonic in performance, which is linear and synthetic. It fulfills its purpose, but I was disappointed buying it blindly since I already own the Supersonic, which cost me triple and smells the same. Projection and longevity are less potent. Natura usually makes good quality perfumes, but that’s not evident here; it feels generic. Scenarios: sports, like almost the entire Avon 300 line.

A versatile citrus fragrance with medium-to-low longevity (about 4 hours in heat) and a trail of 30-50 cm for the first hour and a half. I own both versions; I use it for the office and the gym, and it performs well: discreet and non-intrusive. It’s very similar to Avon’s Ironman (now discontinued), but with weaker projection and shorter longevity. If it had better projection and staying power, it would be a total hit.
JonathanJavier
Smells like a perfume. It’s not annoying, but I don’t really like it. It’s refreshing, though it has that slightly sour lavender that I hate. It tries to be clean, but the quality makes it smell more like floor cleaner than shower gel. It was a gift; I wouldn’t buy it myself. There are better options for this price. Performance is average, the citrus projects quite a bit. 5/10.
Chrise46
Natura is the Carlos Sainz Jr. of low-cost perfumery: it has everything to shine, but it always discontinues its best stuff or launches nonsense. This series goes with Amó. It’s bright, charming, and fresh, projecting well for two hours. You can detect ginger and wood; it’s sparkly and leaves that coveted ‘used pencil tip’ scent thanks to cedar and Akigalawood.
Fernando Acuña
I bought this fragrance yesterday, and it opens with citrus immediately: you can feel the sweet bergamot and grapefruit, which lingers with lavender and ginger. In my opinion, it’s only for a teenage audience; from a 10-year-old up to maybe 17. It’s a blind-buy scent because the smell is very acceptable to everyone. It smells great!
Fernando Acuña
I bought it yesterday and it instantly smells of citrus: sweet bergamot and grapefruit dominate at first, with lavender and ginger keeping the vibe going. In my opinion, it’s for teens, up to 17 at most. Worth buying blind because the scent is pleasant for everyone and smells great.

A fragrance with the three B’s: Good, Beautiful, and Cheap. It’s an obvious artificial citrus scent due to the price, but not of bad quality. It works well for daily wear in the heat; I used it at the gym and liked it. It’s not a beast, but you can’t expect more for the price.
Tomás23
A very citrusy fragrance ideal for hot days. In my opinion, it’s very similar to Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony 1. It’s a good low-cost alternative, especially since the latter is somewhat discontinued in my country. I see it as suitable for very young people, aged 15 to 25.
_bontrager
I really don’t get why people criticize it so much. It might be my own whim, but it’s almost my favorite from Natura. It has incredible practicality; you feel clean, it’s like a breeze and freshness. Smelling it calms me down. I’d buy it a thousand times over.

Natura Urbano Recreia. Citrus with ginger. Easy to wear, low projection, and mid-notes that don’t last long. It’s casual, generic, perfect for summer or straight out of the gym. It’s correct, nothing more. I wouldn’t be desperate to repurchase it. 5/10.
McPapoo
Fruity citrus opening, not with sparkling citrus. The mid-notes say florals, and I sense a fresh rose, nothing feminine. Very noticeable cedar base. The clean vibe is present throughout the projection with the musk. Good perfume for daily use.
glys
Very current, light, yet incredibly persistent. It suits teenagers and men well. It has a trail even hours after application. In my case, my 12-year-old son uses it, and his friends absolutely love it. The scent reminds him of the sea.
Tomás23
A super-citrus fragrance, perfect for hot days. It reminds me a lot of Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony 1, so it’s a great budget alternative since that one is almost out of stock in my country. I recommend it for young people, ages 15 to 25.
kanish
I tried it recently, and every time I wear it, it reminds me of Calvin Klein One. It has that ’90s vibe—unisex, fresh, energizing, and versatile. I recommend it for everyday wear. I absolutely love it!
FerGC
Spectacular. I’m a collector with over 300 perfumes, and this one stands up to those that cost much more. Ideal for spring and summer, I’ve received many compliments. 100% recommended.
jarsofjam
Smells like a fruit salad, very tasty and uncomplicated. Twenty dollars because it’s Natura; another house would sell it with a fancy French name for 150.
geroluna_44
I only wear it for workouts or to smell while I’m at home. Very simple, low sillage, and short longevity.
