Nature

NATURE was my signature perfume for many years, I used 2 bottles 50ml (splash), and I had deodorants and bodyloitons, and I loved it so very much. It was a perfect blend with my skin. Nature was "Nature", I could walk for ours with my dog at the mountains, and I was in one with the nature. The smell is so intoxicating, I can never get enough of this beautiful scent, it's the lily-of-the-wally, and it's the mose, it's the sjasmin and freesia, holy moly... I quit smoking for 9 years ago, and gave away all of my perfumes, about 30, because everything smelled to much for me, and my beloved Nature also went... I've been greefing and crying "why", I just could have stored them on the loft, stupid me..... But than tings happened, suddenly 3 dispensers turned up from nowhere - - - and one of them contains about 7ml of Nature, I'm in the seventh heaven! Now I have spent some ours sniffing and sniffing my dearest NATURE. I tasted some beer and white-wine, have been reading and seeing pictures from La Gacilly, thinking: -I must travel more! Nature: 10/10

For you ladies wondering what the difference is in the differing versions of Nature, here is my take on the matter: Nature EDP (still sold, I am not sure if they changed the formula. I am reviewing the vintage). This is a moist green, but with a floral heart. Soft floral but very fresh, like it has been raining just a few minutes before inhaling this gem Nature EDT vintage: this is the VERTICAL Nature. This is a very strong sweet green. I detect a heart of honeyish Galbanum. So we are not talking about a lighter version of the EDP, not at all!! Nature Eau Fraiche: this is a rare item, vintage formulation. This is a lighter version of the Nature EDT. It goes in the manner of a melon green of the sort. This could be considered a lighter version of the EDP as well. Desir de Nature: This one is sold as the EDT nowadays. I do not have it and I cannot remember smelling it. I think it is in the database here, so you can look there for some input. Good luck! Action

Hi Enchantia! You are sooo right, Nature gives me the same calming feeling you describe!! My explanation for that is that they added a note in this perfume, that resembles the GREEN feeling I remember from my youth. That is the same reason it is my favorite green perfume ever. Of course I adore the classics like Scherrer original too, but nothing touched my green memory like this!! Then about your question, being discontinued. Actually, it can still be bought in Edp concentration. I dare not say if they changed that formula, but the bottle looks the same. The EDT concentration however is, as far as I know, replaced by the Desir de Nature. Good luck!! Action

I always loved this one. It was the one I took on vacations because it was such a favourite. I haven't had it in years and then I lucked out today. I found someone selling a large bottle more than half full online locally for $5! It looks to be from the 1990's with the name Plaisirs de Nature in script writing. Oh how I've missed it! Very floral, clean, a bit green but still quite dense. It's not an airy green freshy like a lot are now. It's a really good everyday scent, easily a signature.

This used to be my no.1 fave in Yves Rocher fragrances back in the 90's. The bottle gives a good hint of what to expect from the liquid inside, which is just like fresh and pure morning dew mixed with delicate white flowers. Nature is very feminine, harmonious, refreshing and tender; just as a slow walk through the woods during a beautiful and sunny day in midsummer. Excellent!

This is my all time favourite. It makes me think of walking through a field of dewey green grass and flowers on a spring or early summer day. Before the sun is very hot so the dew is just evaporating, but still feeling the sun on my skin. It gives me a good feeling like that. I haven't seen the eau de parfum for ages on the web site though, only the eau de toilette.

Finally you've added this one on Yves Rocher list! This is my favorite perfume, there's nothing so clean and fresh and more in ''harmony with nature'' than this one! Its name suits it perfectly, pure GREEN. And it lasts, and lasts on skin and hair for days, no matter of taking showers :D

I really really love this one! So fresh,so green, just like its name! After the green splash at the opening, I can detect the beautiful freesia, just so subtle,feminin,innocent smell,such a summer fragrance. Love it :-)

It’s a floral green fragrance, very well balanced. It also had a warm note on the background, not sure what is that but it makes the fragrance smelling like a young girl

Exactly my sentiments Paleface!! I had to grow up too! I loved them from the start in the 80's but I never realized until now that they just are unbelievable!

Yes Paleface, you hit the mark with your review of this gorgeous perfume! So fresh green and moisty!

Wauw Tschiepchen we really have some similar taste!! Unbelievable!

For the day that's in it (St. Patrick's Day), I decided that a green scent was fitting. My vintage 1990s miniature of Nature fits the bill perfectly - a fresh, green springtime scent. I don't have many scents from brands like Yves Rocher - Nature was a freebie - but I am impressed by its quality. The frosted, pale green bottle is a delight - the leaf shape with venation etchings is a really nice design that belies the original price point of this scent. Nature opens with dewy, damp green notes. There is some bright citrus present in the opening which, along with a hint of mint, gives radiant freshness. The florals creep in presently, with lily-of-the-valley leading the way. The muguet is beautifully rendered - typically green and freshly floral, acting as a bridge between the fresh green notes of the opening and the florals. Soft, clean jasmine creeps in, along with some green rose. It becomes mossy and chypre-like as it dries down thanks to the beautiful vintage oakmoss note. It fades to a mossy skin scent after a couple of hours. Sillage and longevity are moderate. A simple but beautiful green scent, Nature is of a higher quality than many current designer scents. As a fan of green scents, this one is great. I would love a full bottle. 4/5.

I am very pleased to find this as I realised how much I love it! Very vintage smell ( as I am a vintage lover this works for me). Quite strong but I don't mind as I love strong perfumes depending on the occasion of course, mine is a EDP, 75ml bottle. Very green, flowering, sweet, fresh all the same time ( at least for my nose). Lasts long as well! People seems to like when I wear it and they ask which one as they like to get for themselves. Mine is actually a vintage one as is from a charity shop. The bottle looks the same as the pic shows but I believe is an old version as the letters are more ' hand wringing style'. Sorry can't explain better. Just my theory. Anyways...I recommend to give a try on this one as I do love mine and I trying to be economic with my one! Lol

Spring in a bottle. I also have Désir de Nature and find they smell very much alike. This makes me feel fresh and clean in an understated 'fresh out of the shower' way that many compliment me on. It is lush without any cloying sweet notes or screeching florals. whimsical me: having morning tea in a garden of roses and lilies of the valley. The mandarin adds a fruity touch which is in no way tart but adds to the 'green lushness' of the fragrance. The mint is faint but gives it a sheer and sparkling note. I have loved it from the very start when I was working at Yves Rocher and still enjoy it. I layer it with Désir de Nature which makes it last even longer. Great in hair (especially if it is as long as mine!) Loves it!

This one was the signature scent of one of my friends. I loved it on her so I asked her to try it on. On me, at first it smelled disgusting, like a rancid lemon yogurt mixed with vinegar. But after a while it smelled fresh, powdery and green. I liked it and had three bottles of this stuff at different times. It ́s a good everyday fragance for hot days. It has a light sillage and a good longevity. It ́s calming and comforting. I love the powdery feeling mixed with citrus. Not an overly original fragance but very pleasant.

Nature is a lovely offering from Yves Rocher, the house that does floral fragrances really well. The pretty oval bottle with the raised leaf decoration sums up the contents - this one's all green. Mossy and floral, N. packs quite a punch on opening. It doesn't have the thick, almost oily texture of Desir de Nature, which I prefer. Still, both frags are very similar: easy to wear, easy to love. Def. work safe, with typical YR sillage and lasting power.

I pretty sure my grandmother owned a bottle of this when I was a little girl. I remember a green Yves Rocher bottle with a leaf on it. It had an intense lily of the valley smell I loved. (It was my favourite scent back then.) I didn't really identify any other notes back then but I remember liking the scent. I've been trying to figure out which fragrance it was for a while now! I hope I'll find a bottle somewhere and get to try it out.

One of my favourite perfumes. A rare jewel among the vast range of floral fragrances. Smells pleasant, soft and feminine. Makes me feel calm when I sniff it, I'm not sure why. I am using my bottle sparingly because, unfortunately, this is no longer in production. Correct me if I am wrong, I think it has been replaced with Desir De Nature, which I have never tested as it is not available in my country.

I have used this as my signature spring scent for a couple of years. As soon as you know the last day of winter is gone and the spring kicks in, this is the scent to wear. It exactly smells like springtime. Green but feminine, fresh but not watery or cool, it was like a huge bunch of freshly picked and washed springflowers. Nice one!
