Violeta by Natura

It was a gift for my mom, who already used Amarige and Poême. There’s a similarity, even in the appeal of the violet note. The opening is the dried-down Amarige plus a super-clean violet, nothing harsh. It’s a clean perfume like just out of the shower; a light Amarige for everyday wear, very versatile, even for spring or hot days. Highly recommended.

It smells fresh, powdery… clean. Personally, it lasts quite a bit on my skin and clothes; it’s a perfect fragrance for summer.

I love perfumes with a violet scent and went to the website to check the notes. Seeing that several people voted for its similarity to Amarige was unbelievable. I went to try it and yes, there’s a similarity without them being identical, mainly due to the quality and the fact that Amarige has an unmistakable woody touch. At first, the violet is noticeable, but gradually white flowers take over and that’s when it resembles the mentioned perfume more. I’m not one to use colognes from this house, but I admit it was pleasant and very fresh for the heat in my city, probably for use after a shower on a weekend. As a body mist, its longevity was scarce on my skin.

This rich scent reminds me of something from my childhood in the 80s, nothing new. It smells like talc or cream with flowers as the stars, where jasmine and musk predominate. It smells clean and delicate, giving that warm, tender, sweet, and powdery vibe of a violet, but without a real violet smell. I like using it to be at home, after a shower, or to sleep, basically because it doesn’t last almost at all so I treat it like a fresh post-bath mist. I think for the price of about $16 there are many better alternatives, like the same Splash Tododía or Frescor Ekos from Natura, or EDTs/EDPs like Elizabeth Arden, Guess, or Halloween, which last longer, have a better trail, and more original or current scents.

In this cologne, I perceive those vintage vibes of old perfumes. The opening is very lovely, then in a flash I perceive the violets, but finally it’s the jasmine that takes the lead in this fragrance that arrives to stay in the dry-down. It reminds me of a 90s jasmine cologne I used to wear. Very floral and feminine.

You can tell it smells incredible and lasts longer than many designer perfumes; it’s not a light water. Super recommended if you’re looking for something floral and enveloping.

Bought it blind and I loved it a ton. On my skin, it’s a sweet floral, quite powdery, with a touch of wood and something smoky… it sounds rich and very feminine. Ideal for everyday wear, though in summer (here in Argentina), since it’s so sweet, you should moderate the sprays; maybe it’s better for fall or winter. I don’t know the longevity well yet, I tested it today, but I feel it lasts longer than my Petals of Vanilla. The trail is short, it stays close to the skin. In summary: a rich, affordable perfume with gorgeous color and a cute box. Looks great as a gift or for yourself if you like sweet, powdery florals. It has elegance, doesn’t feel simple, and you can smell the jasmine in the first drying moments. It doesn’t smell teenage; I’ll keep using and testing it, but for now, I’m thrilled with the purchase.

It’s long-lasting with good sillage; dry down is talcum-like with a woody base that enhances the flowers and feels very noble. It smells very vintage, reminding me a lot of Givenchy’s Amarige, a classic our moms wore to work. For me, it’s a great perfume that’s undervalued. Ideal for those seeking white florals and roses. It’s not overly sweet, nor potent or heavy. VERY FEMININE! It doesn’t bother and actually gives a nice calm.

Violet Field is sweet, but what stands out most is the elegance. It evokes floral fields after a summer rain, when the scents rise and you can’t help but notice them. Although it’s sweet, it’s tolerable thanks to the musk that hits hard from the start. Longevity is another strong point; it’s very persistent.

Subtle, smells like jasmine; a few minutes later it’s very similar to Aerin’s Ikat Jasmine. Lasts easily 8 hours.

I wore it for 15 years in the nineties when florals like Carolina Herrera Classic, Poeme by Lancome, and Givenchy’s Amarige were in fashion (I’m flooded on Sunday afternoons by the ‘well-off girls’ in my city, while guys wore Drakar). Teens and adults wore them regardless of the heat. Now I appreciate that Natura created Violet Field; it’s a fresh homage to those intense late-century fragrances. Lots of jasmine, flowers, woods, and a shy violet that appears occasionally; it’s transgressive of current gourmand canons. It’s like a very soft Amarige (fortunately). For all ages!

I don’t know if it smells like an older woman… I don’t know what an ‘older woman’ smells like; it’s a soft scent with a strong jasmine note more than violet.

It doesn’t smell like violets at all. It smells like a perfume for a very elderly person.

If I had to describe it, it’s fresh violets that smell like clean soap with floral touches; it leaves a super pleasant and clean trail.
