Sr. N

Sr. N is a very original, long-lasting (10/12 hours) and heavily projecting rather linear scent. To me it is a patchouli bomb with a HEAVY dose of lemon and grapefruit, supported by artemisia, lavender, and vetiver. At least that is what I get. Though it smells "natural" and manly, it is rather loud, invasive, and tenacious. Nothing is subtle here. It works best in summer and spring. A plus: it is inexpensive but does not smell cheap at all. I really love it.

É o perfume do meu pai, que as vezes não consigo resistir e pego emprestado dele... Um cheiro verde intenso, ao mesmo tempo suave, revigorante, muda o humor... O frasco não faz jus ao seu liquido...Estou curioso para conhecer a versão SR N Cedro

It is the scent of my father, who sometimes can not resist and borrowed it ... A smell green intense, yet smooth, refreshing, mood changes ... The bottle does not live up to its liquid ... I'm curious to know the version SR N Cedar.

In my humble opinion, a truly good fragrance for hot weather. Old, but never dated; fresh and invigorating. A must-try for all Acqua di Gio lovers.

Launched in 1979, the Natura SR N line was the first into the Brazilian market created with the aim of providing products to the care and well-being of man. The classic and striking fragrance of the products of this line conquered the male audience and led the company to launch, in 1981, the first cologne from the collection. The original fragrance was created by Jacques Villiger (perfumer of Firmenich) and had notes of bergamot, blackcurrant, green leaves, galbanum, grapefruit, lime and lemon, in the top of the composition. Then, the body carried notes of Artemisia, cardamom, orange blossom, mint and lavender, going towards a base with woods, musk, patchouli, vetiver, cedar and vanilla. As I was born in 1978, I didn't have too much access to the original fragrance during my childhood. But I remember that when I felt it, in the 90’s, seemed a kind of response to other imported fragrances of that time, like Polo (Ralph Lauren), Bogart Eau de Toilette (Jacques Bogart), etc. The scent of SR N was strong, full of "old school" aspect, with a citrus output and a woody development, full of barbershop nuances. It was one of those scents with the famous "scent of man" that women are used to talk about. Despite the fact that SR N was overwhelming in hot days and had huge projection, marked a generation and made history, keeping loyal users to this day. However, in 2007, it has undergone a change and a repackaging. The perfumers involved were Maria Tereza Belotti and Eurico Mazzini. Its composition became leaner and ended up having the following notes: lemon, grapefruit and galbanum, on top; Artemisia, lavender and cardamom, in the body; vetiver, patchouli and vanilla, in the base. As a result, the classic was modernized and today doesn’t scare anymore. I felt the same thing regarding the fragrance of Kriska, another classic of the company. Now, SR N touches the skin of citrus and slightly fruity way, evolving into a greener and less balsamic scent. In my opinion, it can now be worn in warm weather without fear. On the other hand, the immense projection from before no longer exists. This movement of fragrances that lose their power over the years is the result of market research, listening to consumers who complain about perfumes that are too strong, too invasive, etc. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone and, therefore, many perfume lovers are living in search of good vintage scents. SR N still has median longevity and nice fragrance. Its success brought, in 2008, its first flanker: SR N Citrus. From then on, the line received several limited editions, like SR N Couro (leather), SR N Âmbar (amber), SR N Cedro (cedar), SR N Sândalo (sandalwood) and SR N Vetiver. The current bottle no longer has that front label and the name is written right on the glass. There is no lid and the spray brings a built-in security lock. Worth revisiting!
