Ilía

Many people think that Natura, an essentially Brazilian company, only manufactures products for the domestic market and that all of them are released first in Brazil. But the truth is that the company has immense acceptance in other countries like Mexico, Colombia and Argentina and that some of the goods arrive there before being marketed here. This is the case of Ilía, the new fragrance that has just been released in Brazil, but already has a variation in the international market, called Ilía Florescer. Natura Ilía is part of a line that is inspired by the strength and delicacy of women. It's another joint creation involving Verônica Kato and other perfumers from Fragrance’s companies. This time, Christophe Raynaud and Alexandra Kosink, from Givaudan. The official composition lists the following notes: red fruits, pink grapefruit, orange blossom and bergamot, in the head; Freesia, muguet, jasmine Sambac, gardenia and rose, in the body; Tonka bean, vanilla, musk and amber, in the base. On the skin, the fragrance of Ilía behaves like vanilla from the first moments. There's a lightness that comes from the orange flower and a touch of red fruits, which does not last for a long time. If you are waiting for a bittersweet smell, forget it! The floral accord is delicate and the gardenia stands out, to the point of remember a creation of the Cartier House. However, the concept of delicacy was taken very seriously and the fragrance loses power in about twenty minutes, which disappointed me a lot. But the lasting is very good, staying for more than 8 hours on my skin, albeit subtly. From the base, the highlight is the vanilla, which is the most noticeable note. That said, I think that Natura could have rethought the Brazilian market before bringing this scent here. I remember a presentation in the company, which was mentioned this issue of international markets and the differences such as cultures, temperature, air humidity, etc. Few people know, but everything goes in the briefing. Therefore, it was necessary to remember that the Brazilian customer, culturally, likes strong and striking perfumes. The other important point to be clarified is this: it's not because it's a deo parfum (equivalent to eau de parfum in Brazil), that needs to be stronger than a deo Colônia (equivalent to eau de toilette). What determines the classification of a fragrance is the concentration of essence, not its projection or lasting power. There are numerous cases of EDT scents that exude more than their EDP versions. People can't criticize anything that hits the market without knowledge of the facts. Natura Ilía exudes quality, but exudes poorly. If could exude for about 2 hours, at least, it would be perfect. But there is no doubt that will satisfy the taste of many women, who only wear soft and discreet fragrances. Finally, the bottle is cute, rounded and the size is deceptive. Contains 50ml, but seems to have 30ml. It is great for carrying in the purse.

Esse Ilía é um perfume muito gostoso na fita e em outras pessoas, mas não consigo gostar muito dele na minha pele. Eu amo florais, amo o irmão dele, o Ilía Completa (meu assinatura), mas o Ilía tradicional tem alguma nota que agride um pouco meu olfato, então uso mais raramente. A saída dele é levemente frutada e gosto mto dela, mas a evolução das notas me incomoda um pouco. Ele é adocicado mas não acho que a baunilha rouba totalmente a cena, ela está presente mas as notas florais predominam. Fixa umas 6 horas na minha pele e a projeção é boa. Dá pra ser usado em dias quentes sem exagerar, pq se passar muito parece que vc tá sendo sufocado por um buquê de flores. Conheço gente que ama esse perfume e não conheço ninguém que odeia, então no geral ele agrada facilmente. Também tenho o Body Splash, comprei pq né, eu gosto dessa fragrância e imaginei que o o BS seria mais "ameno" naquela nota que me incomoda, porém é idêntico ao perfume. A saída do BS é mais alcoólica, não é tão delicada como a saída do perfume, e ele fixa menos (umas 2-3h, mas pra um BS tá excelente), mas a fragrância é a mesmíssima coisa depois que assenta na pele. Boa opção pra conhecer e ver se gosta antes de comprar o perfume no blind.

An amazing night time perfume. It is sweet vainilla and you can really feel the jasmin, wich it ́s not a combination that I tipically like, but Illia gets it right. It is elegant and it has good sillage and longevity. Plus, Natura is a brand that uses recicable packages, fair trade ingredients, it was cruelty free LONG before the majority of the brands started going cruelty free, and I think it uses clenaner ingredients. An amazing brand.

I really like this perfume, I have had some bottles over the years and I think it is a great fragrance for every day. Another thing I like a lot is that I can really smell the aroma of jasmine and the gardenias my favorite flowers by the way. I think that I would describe this perfume as sweet and delicate, so if you love this type of fragrances, this is a great option.

From this perfume what stands out the most (to me) are its citric notes and tartness of the berries. I don ́t feel neither the flowers not the sweet basenotes. I wouldn ́t buy it again. I think its redundant with Natural Essencial exclusivo.

it ́s ok for me, nothing new like Ilía Secreto...

Não entendo o motivo que faz esse perfume ter um cheiro tão desagradável na minha pele, é ruim e não fixa 30 minutos. Eu amo o Ilia Secreto, fixa bem e tem uma fragrância ótima! Já esse...

Lovely and quite elegant and classy. Soft, woody vanilla, no hint of fruitiness or sweetness. I can't detect any rasperry at all. The opening is more floral than citrus on me. Drydown still retains just the slightest hint of white flowers, while the woods and vanilla deepen. I really appreciate having a non-gourmand vanilla in my collection. Sadly, it is too discreet and close to the skin for my liking and projection is not great, I can barely smell it unless I sniff myself after an hour.

Pretty, elegant, fresh, and sweet. Honeyed florals with vanilla, nicer than Viva La Juicy in my opinion. Nothing unique but it's still a great scent. I got it on the Purebrazil website when it was on sale, I'd say it's not worth the full price especially for a bottle this tiny

This is nice. It’s sweet, soft and a bit floral. It has a certain vintage vibe that is not really my cup of tea but i can’t say it’s bad. It’s a good choice for daytime if you want something safe.

I haven't try this one but i do have Ilia florescer and i love it! Is this similar to florescer? It's not listed tho
