Natura Essencial Masculino is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Véronique Dupont. Essencial Masculino opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Jasmine, Geranium, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Natura's Essencial Masculino carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This Brazilian classic is a time-tested fougere that's still relevant. It's often compared to Drakkar Noir but with a smoother, more citrusy, and less dated appeal, making it a generally well-loved crowd-pleaser.

About

Essencial Masculino opens with a vibrant burst of fresh citrus from bergamot and grapefruit, quickly followed by an invigorating medley of lavender, basil, and spicy nutmeg. The heart introduces a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli, aromatic rosemary, and clean jasmine. It settles into a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and cedar, with hints of resinous fir and a touch of musky amber, defining its classic woody-aromatic character.
