Homem Absoluto

Um bom perfume e ótimo para ser assinatura, apesar de ter baixa projeção é realmente gostoso

#1714 in my “Tour de Fragrance” I bliind bought a bottle of this as I have had nothing but good luck with Natura EDPs. if you assumed whichever Natura “Essencial” or “Homem” you’re about to smell is going to remind you of another popular scent you’d be right every time, and that is the case with the Invictus similar “Homem Absoluto.” It’s a nice scent, a masculine freshie, inoffensive, versatile, business appropriate, for warm to hot weather, that reminds me of but is better than Paco Rabbane “Invictus." With this purchase I now own 27 Natura EDPs for men. “Essencial Ato” is the only one I disliked enough to give away, and no surprise since it’s a Gucci “Guilty Intense” similar, a scent that I also disliked enough to give away. I’ve rated most Naturas a “Love”, many a “Like” none “Okay”, 1 “Dislike” and none “Hate.” This is probably because Veronica Kato has stuck with emulating popular winners from Yves Saint Laurent, Paco Rabanne, Chanel, Le Labo, etc. So if you're looking for unique, Veronica don’t do unique, but she also doesn’t do identical, note-for-note copies. I’ve found myself repeatedly thinking “this smells like”, but when I check the notes they’re quite different, even though the vibe is the same. That’s the case here. This reminds me of Invictus, but I can definitely smell rhubarb which is in none of the fifteen Invictus formulations. And that happens again and again where I, and many others, swear we smell something like “Egoiste” or “Invictus”, or "Santal 33” but the notes are way off. Not sure how she does it, but she does it every time. This doesn’t change much in the dry down. What you get in the opening pretty much hangs on from 5:30 am till lunchtime when I would respray this as I would any other freshie. I paid $70 for this on purebrasil.com, which I consider a fair price. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Great reinterpretation of the original Homem fragrance. Fresh Citrus, Lavender, Spicy, Herbal with woody and amber base Very manly and classic accord. Great for every day and signature scent. This works in any temperature, season and occasion. The problem of this is the performance. Very weak for an EDP Longevity around 6 hours close to skin all the time.

Clearly deliberately inspired by YSL's Y EDP. Same fruity opening with apple being particularly prominent, same aromatic heart with geranium and sage, and same amberwood-y base, with that soft, smooth finish. I love Y edp, so this is a win for me.
