Ilía Dual

I cried when I saw this jewel discontinued from the catalogue. This is such a magnificent perfume, the notes are so well balanced, I get the spicy notes when just sprayed that may seem a little bit of a punch, but to me the cinnamon and pink pepper are really inviting. Then the white florals develop with a leather base, and just a hint of tobacco perfectly balanced in a subtle, sweet and balsamic mixture. When I first bought it my impression was that it smelled mature or vintage, I have it since 2 years now and it's one of my favorite perfumes for a night out on winter. It's sensual, immersive, inviting, it does give "rich" vibes.

I bought this in 2022 and at first wasn’t feeling it, but today, in 2023, I revisited it, and wow, love wearing it! So smooth and complex, almost creamy, but with leather. It lasts all night til the next morning too. Wish it was still available! Now I’ll have to be careful not to use it all up :-( Natura, please bring it back! Thank you.

WONDERFUL!!!! Now this is something that truly suits me! It has A LOT of spice, especially cinnamon. The tuberose here feels warm, woody, and wrapped in a very elegant creaminess. The mimosa comes across as wild and sexy, surrounded by ylang-ylang notes. As it develops, nuances of tobacco and leather begin to appear, making everything more intense and sensual. At certain moments, I get a vibe very similar to Tom Ford Black Orchid. And later in the drydown... my God, it reminded me SO MUCH of Thierry Mugler Womanity. It’s not a dupe or anything identical, but Ilía Dual has a development VERY similar to the opening of Womanity. That really got me. I’ve seen people saying it smells like Her Code (???) — not at all. Alien, I can somewhat understand the comparison. But Black Orchid and Womanity had a child LMAOOOO. People say it’s unisex, but I honestly can’t see it that way. To me, it’s a specifically feminine fragrance.
