Naturelle

Naturelle was actually what I had gotten on my very first swap on this site. Fast forward more than 2 years later I can't imagine NOT having naturelle. Naturelle to me is relaxation in a bottle. It's a quiet afternoon after a hard yesterday. Something about naturelle that I don't think many people appreciate is the origin of it's name. It's 90% all natural ingredients. This is probably why I can enjoy this fragrance (that smells like light blue) but doesn't attack my sinuses the way light blue does. The top notes are a very citrusy green apple. You can immediately smell a grassy green sort of vibe mixing in with the fruit. The dry down is a slightly floral, slightly sweet, still very fruity and clean light blue essence kind of smell. I think naturelle does differ from light blue in that it is more fruity, sweeter, and more gentle. Not surprisingly the lasting power isn't great, but I still get 4-5 hours of a clean little breeze wafting off my t-shirt. Love, love, and love naturelle :P. Out of cheap n' chic I love love, victoria's secret fresh n' clean, and D&G light blue, Naturelle is my preference. For the clean, natural, fruity choice of the "light blue" kind of fragrances try naturelle.

I was introduced to this perfume by my cousin and my best friend in the summer of 2012. It smelled so youthful, refreshing, and not too overpowering. I like the lemonish smell it has, but i don't smell any apples in it. I use it all year long. It's so clean and cooling on a hot summer day, so cheerful in spring, gives a cozy feeling in autumn, and brings warm memories from the summer days in winter. It's longevity is not bad. The scent stays for about 6-8 hours when i spray twice on my neck. After a long day when lying in my bed, i can still smell some hints of the Naturelle coming from my skin. The sillage is soft which is great for places like offices or schools. It 's perfect for a day time. If you want to be forever in your 20th, this perfume will definitely help you! 10/10

It's similar to D&G's Light Blue and I Love Love by Moschino but this I argue has the best scent profile of them all. Beautiful, gorgeous opening with just the right amount of citrus, the bergamot and apple shine and make a wonderful, invigorating fresh scent that perks you right up. The drydown is soft and very powdery, of which I'm not a huge fan of but I take it as a sign that I need to spray again. My only complaint about this perfume is that the longevity is nonexistent--sure, it's an EDT, but I expected it to at least last longer than a full meal. By the time I was paying my bill the powdery scent was already so prominent. For that I think this is quite overpriced in my country.

I think this is one of my favorite perfumes of all times, especially for the summer when I don't like heavy scents. I repurchased if after so many years, I used to have it back in high-school and I still love it to the day. It does remind me of Light Blue by DG but I find the overall scent much cleaner and well ... more Natural (it's in the name right?). There is nothing chemical to it, it opens up with citruses and even if it does not have a clear middle for me, it dries down delicately in a fresh delicate "healthy skin" smell. An all day perfume with not much persistence but it's exactly why I find reaching for it when it's hot outside.

this is frutiger aero if it was a perfume. both the smell and the bottle. very nice smell, unfortunately it doesn't last, only like hour or 2. but that can be expected, because nobody would probably buy a (pretty affordable) eau de toilette and expect it would last for days. except that, the smell is beautiful, it smells like clean laundry with some green and flowery notes with apple. it's a bit similar to light blue, but less citrussy and a bit more feminine or how to describe it? but it's great if you want to feel refreshing in the summer, just pleasant, not overwhelming

Really nice citrus, very sparkly and light. True it doesn't last long, but very few citrus scents do - Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud is the only one that lasts on me. Quite a few reviewers have mentioned similarities to D&G Light Blue, and they share some of the same notes, but I never came to like Light Blue at all despite many tries. I love Naturelle though!

Great summer fragrance. Very similar to D&G Light Blue, only not as strong and with slightly more lemon. Drydown is very soft; in fact, I can no longer smell it on myself after a few hours, but a gust of wind or air-conditioning (like when you enter a building after being outside) lets you know it is still there. The bottle is very pretty, too.

Light Blue and I Love Love had a baby. At birth it tended more towards I Love Love but as it matured it became the spitting image of Light Blue. Surprisingly, this one has better staying power on me than Light Blue. Not sure I'd go out and buy this cause I already have a FB of I Love Love, but I'd be thrilled to receive this as a gift.

Today I received a bottle and we all sprayed ourselves. All generations (I am in the middle) agreed that this is a nice and fresh scent with good power. I can smell it on myself even after a few hours. Green notes are prominent: lime, green apple. I think that D&G light blue is more masculine and with a slight sour note.

This is my favourite yves rocher scent.To me it represents freshness,summertime walking by the sea or grass fields full of poppies and margeritas in spring.Sometimes i spray it in winter just to remember all those gone happy days! Everytime i smell NATURELLE, i feel like i am inviting spring into my heart!

cookygirl said it; It ́s like D&G Light Blue and Moschino I love love had a baby. It ́s fresh, uplifting and clean. I love putting this on right after a shower on a hot day. Longevity: Weak. Sillage: Soft. But it ́s perfect for work since it won't bother anyone and you do feel very refreshed and clean.

Lovely citrus scent, the cedar makes this fragrance a bit cosy and warm. It evokes an out of the shower feeling. Very fresh, clean, pleasant and inoffensive. Lasts well ,with 1-2 sprays, almost the entire day. I love this one. (Light Blue and me are no friends since I find it too masculine and strong)

If you like Dolce`s Light Blue, you will like this, smells pretty similar, but the PRICE smells so mutch better than Dolce`s :D unique, fresh, good price, i was wondering that yves rocher build`s a fragrance for young people:) for summer and spring, uplift your mood and last long on skin...

Both Naturelle perfumes are indeed very fresh and very green!! The red one is very tropical, both are great perfumes!! Yves Rocher just is an expert in making high quality perfumes without the drag of the marketing of the traditional houses.

I love the smell of this perfume, its so fresh and green.Yes it smells just like D&G light blue that was the main reason why I got this for myself. Pls I need the names of other fragrances that smells like D&G light blue for my collection.

similar to light blue. I use this when I dont want to waste my lb. some may think this si similar to cleaning detegant but in my skin it is a good combination of musk and sandalwood.

It smells like summer in the Mediterranean. It does not promise longevity since it is quite light. However, if you are into citrus perfumes, then you should purchase one.

Very green and fresh. Perfect for hot days.It does not last long but I keep on spraying several times a day to refresh myself.It is not expensive and worth the money!!

Perfect signature scent! I used it for so many years and still reach every summer! So refreshing and got so many compliments. Way much better than D&G Light Blue.

It's a lovely clean smell... very fresh. Reminds me of clean clothes. I love to wear it in winter as much as in summer. Gives me a little peps during cold days.

Fresh smell like grass! Love it much, just hope the scent stay longer, coz it's very weak!

This one I do love!! It is a very refreshing fragrance! I love tagetes too!!

Yes and agree: "Good and cheap replika of Light Blue." And, I like it =))

Such a freshy and citrusy fragrance. It gives the after-shower vibe

I love this perfume so did the guy who smell it on my hair lol ;)

Good and cheap replika of Light Blue.

Naturelle by Yves Rocher is such a perfect spring scent. It's breezy and pretty. I like it. It opens with cool, green citrus, but quickly reveals a grass green jasmine heart slightly softened by peach blossom. The base contains a very polite and shy combination of cedar, musk and amber. They come togehter and create just a touch of warmth to a scent that is mostly on the cold, fresh and green side. It smells like spring. Like the still cold-ish breeze that makes you put a jacket on, even though the days are longer and the sun is basking in the blue sky. It smells like dewy grass, light green flower buds and the promise of warmer days to come. To me personally it smells like my family's annual spring vacation to Denmark when I was growing up. It smells like the coast line of Jylland, with it's sand dunes, beaches, grass and straw blowing in the wind, lazy waves caressing the sand, me collecting pretty pebbles and sea shells. It smells just like the bottle looks: Clear as a cool water drop, green as the ocean, blue as the spring sky. Sillage is moderate to soft. Longevity is around 6 hours on my skin. PS: I see people say that this scent is similar to D&G Light Blue. To my nose it so isn't. I think the musk in Light Blue is way more prominent than in Naturelle, and of the obnoxious squeaky clean detergent type. I also feel that Light Blue is on the masculine side, and Naturelle is more feminine. I can't stand Light Blue, but Naturelle is very nice - to my nose. :)

It is indeed very similar to D&G's Light Blue, however, despite the popularity of Light Blue, I dislike it to the point that I want to say 'hate' but I don't want to use that word, it would offend my daughter who wears the Light Blue and nothing else, I gave her my 20 ml bottle so she would have a spare once she finishes hers. Now that I have had a chance to compare these two perfumes side by side, I have realized that I love the Naturelle more than I used to, and I miss the old good times when Yves Rocher released quality perfumes on a regular basis. I didn't care enough to get the full size bottle of Naturelle while it was still available online in my country, I only got a 5 ml sample, but now I regret not having it in my collection. On the other hand, I don't love it enough to pay the high price on eBay. I have difficulties with fresh/floral/aquatic/aromatic fragrances in general, and every nine out of ten I try is a miss for me. So please take my harsh opinion on the Light Blue perfume with a grain of salt.

The comparisons to D&G Light Blue and True Religion True Religion helped me a lot when deciding to buy it unsniffed, as I have samples of both those scents. I want my perfumes for the hottest days of the year to be as light and fresh as possible, not too complex or deep - and this has done a great job during the last 2 months+. LB and TR are really similar to it, though Naturelle is even slimmer, it has a little less body. Some of the richer floral and powdery notes that hide in both seem replaced by even more fresh apple, lemon and crispiness in here. While I can smell it around me and the sillage is good, the lasting powder is not the best but I find this to be the case more or less with all light scents.. This one is usually gone after about 4hrs. Luckily you can really afford to spray 3-4x when you apply and reappy at this price. My go to summer scent when it's too hot for almost everything.

I usually don't prefer fragrances that are very "green". However, I just received a large bottle of this as a free gift when I ordered from Yves Rocher. I really didn't expect much, but I couldn't have been more wrong! As soon as I spray, I get a blast of the most delicious lemons I've ever smelled. Soon after comes the bergamot, which if asked, I probably would not say is my favorite note, but in this, I LOVE it. The delicious floral heart is noticeable, and lovely - and it calms down the green a bit. My only complaint is that on my skin, this becomes a skin scent quickly, and totally disappears within about two hours. The sillage is really non-existant. If you love wearing beautiful frags that stay close to your skin so it is safe for the office, this would be an excellent choice.

This is the closest I have to a go-to fragrance -- something I put on liberally when I'm not too sure what to wear and I don't want to invest too much time worrying about it. Naturelle is a light fruity-green fragrance in the same vein as Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue and Anna Sui Secret Wish. The apple note is quite prominent but not too full: like the fragrant exterior of a green apple rather than the sensation of eating one. Alongside this image of late-summer ripeness is the feel of a spring morning, a combination of fresh growing grass and delicate natural flowers, the kind you glimpse around a lawn or blooming en masse in the bare branches of trees, flowers too humble, profuse and taken-for-granted for you to know their names.

A big yawn at the thought of it: it is just soooooo boring! - with millions of other fresh fragrances there wouldn't YR want to make an effort and add just a little twist to yet another summer smell on the market?! OK, it's fresh, invigorating, serves the purpose of a warm-weather scent, but it evaporates almost instantly leaving nothing behind (it seems to even steal my own skin scent on the way, because i smell literally NOTHING!) So even though it is affordable, it isn't really - if u have to use half a bottle each day just to keep it lasting. So nope, never going to come back to it - too much more exciting and longer-lasting stuff out there.

*edit* I think this is a very unique fragrance (I have a small collection). It is VERY natural and sweet smelling and I think this is a scent others would enjoy as well as men because as LuluCoconut said, it is ethereal, very sweet and natural, And it has a nice attractive husky drydown. Just because you may not smell it, doesn't mean others don't. I heard someone else state this on a review on another site that she could hardly smell it but others loved it and asked what she wore. I know I've had people smell it on me and absolutely love it. Give it a try. It may take a few sprays though.. it seems to be working better in the summer months.

I'm very happy with this purchase, yes it isn't expensive but this edt is very rich in notes, it mostly smells of a pretty mixture of lemon apple and cedar( i recognize the cedar, from Cedre Bleu-but not overpowering or powdery). Despite the dominant lemon,it somehow manages not to smell sharp,maybe supported by the amber notes,which makes it pretty close to a fresh mens cologne. It is summery, happy, reminds of the fresh notes of Eclat, as someone pointed out. Lasts good 3-4hrs on me, with low silage, which becomes medium in hot days :) EDIT: for the sake of being fair, the note i get the most is actually apple. Citrussy fresh apple.

A good friend and fellow Yves Rocher fan gave me this and, while I love the IDEA of this scent and the lovely bottle and fresh, green topnote--I find it is hardly even there on me after the drydown--If I could get it to smell the way it does at first, for an entire day, I would love it. The fact that it is so soft, probably means that it would be a good choice for office work during daytime. The dry down, just doesn't retain the fresh greenness, but is soft and slightly powdery/woody. If they had given it more jasmine and peach blossom it might have worked better for me.

I got a 50ml bottle for free a while ago with one of my orders from Yves Rocher. It's quite different to anything else in my collection, but nevetheless I quite like this smell. It's a very fresh, but sweet scent perfect for spring or summer. I wore it a lot on my holiday in Greece so I really associate this smell with careless summers spent near the sea. I also bought a bottle of Cacharel Scarlett today, the drydown of which actually smells very similar to this scent, the Cacharel scent is just slightly sweeter than this.

I wore this one during the fall and winter.. very crisp. I could get the apple, lemon and white woods (cedar). After many sprays I could still hardly smell it on myself, my mom could though and she as well as someone else liked the scent on me. It was a bit too clean and crisp for me though and I didn't like the idea of having to spray it so many times in order to smell it. Pleasant scent though with a nice dry down.. once you get your nose up to it, lol.

I like the scent of this well enough. I will probably use it more as a linen spray instead of a perfume though and I'm unlikely to buy another. It is clean and fresh smelling. It is a very green and grassy fragrance to me though neither of those are actually listed on the notes pyramid. On my skin it was pleasant enough but simply not exciting. On my bed sheets it reminded me of when I lived in the country and hung laundry to dry on the clothesline.

It's etherial and slightly sweet with the freshness of green apple and the mossy cedar. It reminded me of my favorite Burberry summer, yet again the burberry has so much more. The fragrance is very natural, clean and refreshing. I'd have considered buying a bottle of this, if it wasn't gone in an hour after application. You definitely need to be generous in spraying with Naturelle. Nevertheless it's great in the extremely hot weather here.

This perfume is amazing. I've just bought it recently, and I was searching for weeks for a scent that is fresh, energizing and light as an alternative for my very heavy old perfume. This is exactly that, first it smells like freshly cut grass and citrus, then I can smell the Jasmine, but not in an overpowering way like in the Tendre Jasmin. I think it's a very nice scent for spring and summer!

I agree, it's nothing special, but very light and refreshing. Sometimes I feel something is missing - but I realise that if something was added, the whole composition would go to one direction, which would destroy the basic concept. I can't decide whether this fragrance is the scent of a green meadow, of citrus fruits, fresh water, or all combined.

While this is certainly riding on the coattails of Light Blue, I actually prefer it. Its citrus is more rounded, and the entire composition works together quite nicely. There is little to no development over the course of it, with the cedar being noticeable but muted. Good for when one wants an uncomplicated scent to smell fresh without frippery.

Not bad , it's nice , but not wonderful . Quite pleasant however . It smells clean , fresh, but not too much , it's very very discreet (too much) and too ordinary . It makes me think a LITTLE BIT of "Pluie d'été" by Tan Giudicelli in far less good (this one was awesome). Quite disapointing , but still very pleasant to wear .

I have a bottle of this, its really nothing special with it ,its a fresh and nice summerscent ,very very like flora by gucci on me ! Though its not special, and really not longlived on the skin , its very pleasant and fresh ,the lemon and apple ,and the mild jasmine and peach is very nice . My scent upcoming summer!

To me this smells quite sweet. Light, sweet, appley :) I can see the similarities to D&G Light blue, although this to me seems more mellow, not as harsh, sweeter. Not bad all in all. Inoffensive scent suitable for office wear. Smells like a Golden delicious apple :)

It's quite citrusy and fresh, just not my cup of tea. Too sharp and "cold" kind of perfume for my personality. It does last long though. I see people compare it to Lanvin and D&G, I do find similarities aswell, but I'd choose Lanvin over this any time! :)

It is a beautiful summery perfume, with terrible staying power. It needs to be reapplied like once every 90 ,inutes. I like having it in my collection, but not a reliable perfume to have. I like OMNIA crystalline which has better staying powder.

This one is a bit boring, but nice still. Green, fresh, inoffensive. A smell that just hangs around, sort of, without making a statement. Good for the summer... or to spray on bedclothes. The lasting power is really poor, only 2 to 3 hours.

It's fresh and fleeting, a scent reminiscent of summer dew on the meadow. Joyfully celebrates the beginning of the day, instilling a sense of balance and harmony, a feeling that it will be a good day. Evanescent notes, close to the body.

This is like a less sweet Moschino. It is great for the days that you would like to be anonymous. Because it is not so special but also doesn't smell cheap. An uplifting , clean, energizing fragrance. Definitely worth the money.
