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!

The current version of this is pleasant, but certainly different from the original versions. I found the original to be fresher and sweeter, but this is still a light green floral, lovely for springtime. Yves Rocher does a lot of offers on their website, so this fragrance can be fairly inexpensively obtained.

I have an old bottle with just a few drops at the bottom, so I can't exactly comment on how it develops on the skin, but it smells just like how you'd imagine how it would with how the bottle looks. White flowers and green, though (thankfully?) not grassy. I think it's pleasant and executes the concept well.

It's a very nice eau de toilette. Light and delicate, it smells like grass after rain. Sometimes, it's strange, it makes me feel about a light Loulou - Cacharel. I like it. Good lasting.

One of my first loves. Green, wet and fresh as a garden in May. It used to smell clean and happy, familiar, fresh, rather than dirty, pretentious, hyperglycemic or dark moody. ;)

Keywords: Floral, green, mature. (I THINK this is the perfume I have.. It says "Nature" on the bottle, but the bottle itself has the Dèsir de Nature design. I recognize the notes) This perfume really isn't for me. It really just smells like a generic dish soap: Roses and lilies. When I smell this perfume I picture a lady at 50-60 years who spends most of her time at home or with her grandchildren. To me this perfume isn't refreshing at least. In fact, I feel it's the exact opposite. If someone had worn this perfume near me I would have had to catch my breath afterwards! This perfume is in the same style as Vanderbilt Gloria Vanderbilt. I got a 2 oz. bottle for christmas. Unfortunately this perfume really isn't my cup of tea.

Edit: Is it funny and even strange, how the smells are affected by weather and different temperatures? Now, in early autumn, I get from Nature pure and fresh lily of the valley more than anything else. That is so enjoyable, because lately I have really learned to love that delicate flower, its calm and green qualities, so distinctive. I still feel soapiness (yes, sometimes it can be irritating, but here, I think, it goes so well with other notes) and everything else I told in my earlier review. Well, it is so educating and also exiting to learn how our senses are depended on circumstances. Scents are like kaleidoscopes, full of surprises. Change one thing and you get a new angle to look at them... Edit ll: Dear Action, I have noticed how much you like old perfumes of Yves Rocher. Me too! Many of them are truly masterpieces: so chic, complicated, original and ah, pleasant! But I had to become very adult and very mature before understanding and respecting them ;-) Better late than never!

Bored out of my mind and 'So over with all the 'COVID-19' biz, I'm trying on perfumes in my collection . I normally don't go to and reached for 'Nature'. Its a small mini and I was trying to hoard it. Well, I find I am wanting to slap my wrists for not reaching for this gem a bit more. I love 'green, fresh' perfumes that have a cozy, snuggly feel to them. My fave green fragrances are Chanel No. 19 & Jean-Louis Scherrer Jean-Louis Scherrer for women, but they are a bit too bright sometimes. This one though, hits just right. Maybe I had to revisit it at a different time, because, as other reviewers have mentioned, it smells different at different times/seasons. Although it doesn't project very far and seems to become a linear skin scent roundabout 30-ish minutes, I feel I can live within that zone with Nature to keep me company :D P.S. The trick now will be to find another bottle to purchase at a decent price!

I have two versions of this scent: an eau de toilette and an eau fraîche, both vintage (the writing of the name is in a different, more hand-written-like, style; they do not look like the picture shown here). The eau de toilette is really oakmossy - I adore oakmoss, I am so happy I still have some perfumes from the decade before it was banned almost completely! - and has good sillage and longevity, for a green scent like this. The eau fraîche is lighter - but oakmoss is still an important element - and although the sillage is modest, the longevity is good. It was a flanker made for hot summer days, I think. I have tried the modern version of the EdT in the store and it has - of course! - less oakmoss, and more lily-of-the-valley. It is still a very nice scent, but unfortunately the longevity is rather poor (at least compared to the older versions).

NATURE starts so fresh that it almost resembles utterly green Weil de Weil. But in five minutes their similarities are gone, and Nature begins to soften thus loosing its sharpness. It is still green but especially rose and jasmine give an enjoyable tenderness to it. Half an hour later I feel like I had taken a shower lathering myself with a flowery, pleasantly smelling soap - with a kind of Elisabeth Arden-y smelling soap: pure, innocent and lovely. Greenness is now on the background but undoubtedly there. To me it is hard to imagine men having this on. The mixture of flowers is too delicate for that. But I may be totally wrong. Anyway, as a woman I find this fragrance very appealing. NATURE is an unobtrusive, slightly sweet yet refreshing scent - a NATURal choice in springtime ;-)

Trying Nature EdP for the first time (Thank you mara_g!) Normally I'm not into green perfumes at all, but this one took me by surprise! Unlike so many others of this olfactory group I find none of the stinging sharpness that almost makes my eyes water (like eg. O de Lancome does). It's very soft and warm right from the opening, yet not weak. At the same time it's very fresh and bright. It can even be worn during winter, with clothing in lighter colors. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to experience Nature - this will probably change my wiev upon green perfumes! Very lovely indeed.

At first, Nature by Yves Rocher does start out as yet another tartly green muguet, ..but then, quite fortuitously, the other notes rise up and take back olfactory territory. Bitter oakmoss, dry cedar, fresh mint, and soft jasmine. Perhaps also nuances of vetiver & anise? Combined, they make for a formidable gang, ...and they do indeed save the day, ...allowing Nature to become the complex and fully enjoyable bouquet that its name promises. So no, this fragrance isn't as green as its bottle tint might suggest, ...but of course, nature is never just one colour.

I am a little confused here, but I have a tester wipe of this that it is called Nature and is a EDT. I am pretty sure that I have not had this from 93, so probably the tester I have is Desir de Nature which came out later. However, according to the name this must be it. To me smells like a very strong perfume. Certainly you are going to be noticed. It reminds me of old school fragances. Very potent sharp green perfume that on the drydown smells more flowery (but I don't know why)

Very natural, soft, clean and romantic. Jazmine, Rose and Lily of the valley take the head adorned with the citric touch of mandarin. As a precious morning of Saturday. "Eau de Toilette " without stridencies . Nature can you remember other aromas, the truth is that it is not very original in this aspect.

I just purchased mini of the EDT; I assume it is fairly old/vintage. It has a lot of oakmoss and I would not call it sweet. To my nose this smells similar to Shiseido Inoui, with the savory herbs that veer into civet territory. I love Inoui and finding a close cousin is a wonderful discovery.

I love this I just ordered a big bottle!! creamy DREAMY LOVE IT
