Ilía Secreto

I don't know if the lockdown has made me insane, but I swear I can smell the almond/vanilla of Hypnotic Poison in the open of this perfume (it's a first impression... maybe is the tonka-jasmine-plum mix?); in any case, is a more mature and powdery smell. After a half an hour, a soapy note emerges. The drydown is, sadly, too soft and close to the skin, but still very sweet, comforting and elegant. The mix of sandalwood, tonka and coffee now appears in a beautiful subtle way. Smells almost as a soft cinnamon. I still can smell the jasmine in my hair. It fades after 4-5 hours in a soft woody note. I think is the nicest Natura perfume I've ever tried.

One of the best Natura's perfume, it is very sweet, though a dark sweet, a wine-y scent that does not resemble Si at all, with grapes plus plum and tonka as the main notes. Though not a breakaway perfume it is not a copycat and I don't know any scent quite like it (love the grape/plum accord).It is a dark, sensual aroma more suited to cold nights, lasts for 7/8 hours , has a strong sillage/projection for 2/2h30. And although not cheap it is not expensive.

É um frutado bem sensual, quente e noturno. Me remete muito ao coffe seduction pelo gourmand confortável para o inverno, mas não que se pareçam, e sim que são cheirinhos para quem curte um doce mais sexy. Na minha pele o rastro dele é fortíssimo e a fixação excelente. Único defeito é que ele é muito pequeno, tenho até dó de usar. Sinto um cheirinho de vinho quente

Eu amo esse ilía, acho um doce bem gostosinho. Tem uma uva bem presente, traz uma energia sexy e determinada. Tem uma fixação EXCELENTE e projeta muito bem. Eu considero um perfume que chama atenção. E eu acho a cor linda haha, vale super a pena se você gosta de perfumes doces, noturnos. Ele tem uma vibe parecida do Floratta Flor de Eclipse da O boticário.

Al ser un eau de perfum, es una fragancia intensa, fuerte y con personalidad. Es un perfume que no pasa desapercibido, intenso, muy "dark feminine". Se siente mucho las uvas y la ciruela, mucha gente confunde este olor con olor a vainilla, más no lo es. Al tacto se siente aceitoso, haciendo que su intensidad sea mayor, la misma sensación que dan los ekos de la rama amaderada. Recomendado para usarla en invierno, otoño, especialmente de noche, con el calor puede resultar agobiante y un tanto pesado. Si te gustan los olores dulces, afrutados (no cítricos) y un tanto amaderados, podría gustarte! Vas a recibir halagos y tu presencia va a marcarse.

Goes in the Black Opium vibe. It even reminded me of Coffee Woman Duo by O Boticário. Explodes very spicy with lots of Ishpink. Then comes the floral mixed with fruits, most notably plums, and grapes. Finally comes the coffee, the tonka bean, and a light woody to wrap it up. I also feel a slightly powdery smell. Definitely a cold weather scent. In the heat, this must give you a headache! 🤯 Someone commented about this not being an adult sweet fragrance and I agree. It's a more youthful sweet fragrance. But these are individual concepts and perceptions. You use what you like, regardless of age and gender. I like it💜🍇☕️

Tiene una fragrancia súper rica: dulce, envolvente, frutal, gourmand... PERO me sofoca. No es un perfume que pueda usar en días más cálidos ni para ir a trabajar. Quizás las veces que lo usé me lo apliqué en demasía, tengo que probarlo con apenas dos toques y en noches heladas. Me fijó horrores, me duró muchísimas horas en la piel, no tengo quejas en cuanto a eso.

Oh, this is lovely, maybe my favorite Natura fragrance. It's a sweet, creamy perfume that sends you to a gorgeous, festive place. I see myself wearing I.S. on Christmas Eve. It has a gorgeous mix of grapes and plums. The dry down brings a subtle buttery caramel on my skin. Gorgeous! Parabéns, Veronica!

I absoluteluy love it. It smells like grapes but better and then it dries out to a more floral perfume, I am bad at describing notes but it ́s like how I imagine purple would smell like, only with a hint of suggar. it doesn ́t last long cause it ́s not very concentrated

DESAPEGO novo - Ilia Secreta. Insta @hannaskrbek Boa fixação e projeção. Perfumaria nacional com qualidade de Internacional. Particularmente não me agradou tanto, porque prefiro cítricos. Para quem gosta de doce/frutado, indico muito!

Esse perfume tem um desempenho incrível, projeta muito e dura muito também, o cheiro dele parece meio cremoso com cheiro de uvas e ameixa, não é um perfume para o dia a dia por ser muito forte, mas sem dúvida um perfume para noite.

É um perfume que a saída me lembra suco de uva de pó. Mas o desenvolvimento dele na pele faz com que ele se torne muito delicioso e perca essa lembrança. Deixa um rastro gostoso e docinho por onde você passar.

muito bom, tem um cheiro docinho, mas nada muito enjoativo, bem perfume de mulher rica e misteriosa

muito bom, perfume noturno muito parecido com o glamour secrets da oboticario

Comprei com muita vontade e me decepcionei muito. Senti um cheiro de perfume muito forte de uvas antigas e extremamente doces. Pedi a opinião do meu namorado e ele tbm achou ruim. E eu amo perfumes doces! Ele é super enjoativo, induz uma dor de cabeça, não achei sexy.

Ilía Secreto came to the Brazilian market in March 2018 as a variation of Ilía, which was launched in Brazil in 2016 and in other Latin American markets in 2015. In addition, there is another version called Ilía Florescer, as I reckon in the review of the traditional Ilia. Ilía Secreto is classified as a sweet floral perfume and brought, for the first time, a new ingredient in Natura’s perfumery: the Ishpink. According to the in-house perfumer of the house, Veronica Kato: "its fragrance resembles the scent of cinnamon and honey bread, a special touch that stimulates the senses and translates the secrets of feminine force." I went a little further and researched more details on the ingredient. Ishpink, also known as Ishpingo, is a name given to the flower Ocotea Quixo. Its essential oil is obtained by the steam distillation of the branches and leaves and its scent resembles a pinch of cinnamon, but also presents warm, sweet and spicy nuances, sometimes herbaceous or slightly woody. Fortunately, Natura decided to share the olfactory pyramid in the press release! Ilía Secreto brings notes of Ishpink, pear, mandarin orange and purple fruity accord (plums and grapes) on top. Then, in the body of the fragrance, notes of lily of the valley, jasmine, freesia, and orchid were combined. Finally, the base carries tonka beans, cedar, sandalwood, and coffee notes. Ilía Secreto is, clearly, a perfume focused on the nocturnal use. It could have been called Ilia Noite (which means night), following the international pattern of brands that often use terms like Nuit and Black in fragrances of a similar concept. But using the word Secreto (secret) did not go wrong. After all, as some say, everything that is secret, forbidden or more difficult to conquer is more delicious! When I received my Ilía Secreto, I confess that I thought: "here is Natura's response to the competition". I'll talk about this later! On the skin, Ilía Secreto did not immediately captivate me, unlike the original version. In fact, taking advantage of the moment, I do not see any connection between the fragrances. But I'm not astonished by this question of flankers that put the DNA of the line aside and bring different products. This is not Natura's fault. It is something that has become common in the perfumery market! The first time I wore it, I got nauseated. Ilía Secreto struck the skin in a medicinal, synthetic and strange way. I do not know if it was that note from Ishpink, but I usually like plum and mandarin nuances and I know that pear note fragrances are often tricky. The truth is that the first impression was lousy! I only started to see a positive side after an hour of use, when the orchid became more present and the base notes appeared. In another test, the situation changed and the fragrance was more pleasurable from the start. I do not know what happened, but it must have been that sense of when we ordered a draft beer and the first dose never comes with the right pressure, you know? I only know that Ilía Secreto seemed to me another perfume and the evolution was also different. Besides that, this time, after about three hours of use, I also noticed a saltier yet subtle base, thanks to the coffee arabicas. Ilía Secreto exudes very well and follows the trends, but I was not surprised in terms of durability. My last test before publishing this review came at night when I went to bed (air-conditioned environment, slower metabolism, less perspiration, etc.). I woke up seven hours later and did not feel anything else on my skin. Taking into account the style and concentration of the fragrance (deo parfum = EDP), I expected greater longevity. What about the competition? I was referring to the Kissme Rosa Marcante and Kissme Cabernet (Eudora) fragrances. When I saw the color of the bottle, I immediately thought about the latter. But on the skin, they bear no resemblance. In fact, the olfactory path of Ilía Secreto goes towards the other (Rosa Marcante), and yet they are different products. To conclude, I think that Ilía Secreto reinforces the new fragrances' moment of Natura, which has been defining lines with quite different concepts. However, it did not get to enchant me, unlike kriska Drama, which is the best female launch of the company lately, in my opinion.

1. Natura at all costs trying to innovate and this, as a whole, is good for the fragrances that are launched in our country, as it generates an internal valuation of the product and motivation for the growth of the workforce. 2. On the way out, it is medicinal, full-bodied grape syrup with a touch of freshly sliced hyper-ripe pear, very juicy and propelling a lively vigor not very common in national fragrances. Here I also feel Plum, but its tangy characteristic attributes a not very peculiar aroma to the fragrance, which is better revealed in its next phase; 3. In the heart, Plum combined with a bouquet of white flowers brings to mind an aroma that I feel in Crystal Noir by Versace, the odor of crushed bedbug wings, but nothing that I can't bear, not least because here inhabits a sweetish dirt that makes it very mysterious and at all times thought-provoking; 4. I still feel many Orchids with dark petals when drying, as if they were in a stuffy greenhouse and the perfume was really intense. The floral smell that makes up until now joins a woody that sensualizes, in this case Sandalwood and is completed by the resinous Tonka that still allows the sensation of the initial sweetness, but much more restrained. Coffee is subtle and pure, bitter, and if it weren't like that, there wouldn't be any survivors in the midst of so many sweetened referrals that the fragrance proposes.

This is a very addictive scent. It's a rich, sweet perfume that reminds me of Zara's Violet Blossom/Elie Saab's Girl of Now. It's almost, but not quite the same. I'd say this was slightly richer somehow. I love this and I don't like Black Opium, I don't think they're alike at all. Not sure why people are saying that.

Nice scent. Sweet, soft and smooth. Not sickening. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s nice. Good if you want something safe for nighttime.

It’s very similar to Sabah Al ward but more rich and long lasting. Grapes, wine and Jasmine. Love it
