Una Senses by Natura

This is the best flanker of L’Interdit.

I loved it when I had it, incredibly rich, unique, and sticky. Excellent price-to-quality ratio. What a shame it’s no longer available in Argentina.

The king of perfumes. It reminds me a lot of Zara Tobacco Rich Warm.

For me, it doesn’t resemble any other. I own many international designer scents, but a Senses is incredible. I smell it as super sweet yet mentholated. My all-time favorite, what a pity it’s not easily available in Argentina.

I smell it like an exquisite, condensed sweet, wrapped in a fresh and balsamic glass bottle.

Definitely one of my favorites for autumn and winter. I smell it sweet, but it’s not gourmand at all (every nose is different). In the dry down, I do notice the vanilla, but I don’t perceive it as gourmand like others. I love its versatility: I wear it daily on cold days to go to work, but it also has that elegant touch for a date or event. I adore this woody floral because I’m a fan of intense perfumes, but I don’t think it’s something to buy blindly. It has a lot of personality. The packaging and the aroma definitely don’t envy anything from high-end brands. Edit: With continued use, I was able to perceive the caramel note that Natura mentions, and that makes it even more delicious.

It starts with very potent neroli and amber. I detect sharp neroli and an amber that lasts throughout the entire development; only later does a creamy, elegant, and deep vanilla emerge, adding a fine sweetness thanks to the tonka bean. Midway through, it recalls Givenchy’s L’Interdit due to those neroli notes. It’s totally amber and woody. I didn’t fall in love with it because I prefer other sweet scents and find it a bit matronly, but it is elegant, powerful, and long-lasting. I’ll definitely keep it in my collection; it was a blind buy driven by intrigue.

I loved it; it’s a delicious, sweet, attractive, and super refined aroma. Nothing to envy from designer perfumes. I found the opening a bit shy, but after a few minutes, the drydown is a marvel—an exquisite union of all the notes.

It’s a sweet balsamic bomb of dark white flowers, with neroli as the star and tonka bean on my skin. The opening is a hit of sweetness, but the drydown is sophisticated, elegant, and imposing. Rich for cold days. I own Dior Hypnotic Poison and don’t find much similarity; rather, the opening reminds me of Marc Jacobs’ Decadence. A lovely memory from Natura, as it hasn’t been available in my country’s magazines for over a year. I don’t like it more than Una Art or Una Blush.

If you like sweet and vanilla scents but sophisticated ones, give it a try. It’s a vanilla that’s not so gourmand, but rather balsamic. I find it somewhat in the style of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison EDT.

I don’t perceive any flowers directly; it hits the nose with a powerfully sweet aroma that reminds me of vanilla with Argentine dulce de leche. No woods at all, perhaps in the drydown as it settles, it lets that fierce sweetness emerge, revealing more floral and woody notes. It’s addictive; the sweet-toothed want to smell it every moment. Not recommended for those who don’t like gourmands.

Upon spraying, the first thing you notice is the blackcurrant or cassis—licorice-like with those sweet, fruity notes. It smells like honey caramel with red berries and a hint of orange. As it settles, you’re left with tonka bean and jasmine; the amber isn’t powdery but transparent. The flowers are potent yet very elegant, leaving a soft sweetness in the dry down. It has a massive trail; more than two sprays is too much. This is what a modern, characterful woman should smell like. It reminds me of Viktor & Rolf’s Bon Bon or Flowerbomb, but more caramelized. Don’t use it in extreme heat or humidity because, while the fruity side comes out, it can be overwhelming if you overapply. In the cold, it shines, but it definitely highlights its floral side even more.

It has a huge presence. It does the same thing to me as Jungle: it overwhelms me a bit, but I can’t stop smelling it… it reminds me of the scent of an old museum in my city with taxidermied animals and a bat invasion on the ceiling. It was a three-story building, the law school on the bottom and the museum upstairs (they moved it because it caught fire). Hot ceiling from the sun, dust, embalming chemicals (formaldehyde, I guess), and bat guano… A nanny took us there a couple of times, and the dry-down of this perfume brought back that memory. Sweet, enveloping, well-powdered, intrusive because it fills your nasal passages, but narcotically addictive… I think a neroli, jasmine, and tonka bean accord predominates. The Natura jasmine is quite powdery and dark. The tonka bean is noticeable from start to finish. Don’t be fooled by the opening, which is so sweet and licorice-like, because the dry down becomes very sophisticated. It’s not for everyone; it could be a signature fragrance. Incredible longevity, intense projection. Use it with caution or prepare to turn all heads in your path… Absolutely unisex to my nose.
