In late 2015, Natura launched a line of men’s care, focusing in the shaving pleasure and the calming properties of Copaiba. The line brought bar soap (for body and beard), shaving oil, after shave balm and, of course, the cologne.
The Copaiba is a leafy tree that can reach more than 30 meters in height. As a defense mechanism against pests, a colorless and fine oil is produced in its interior, which, when in contact with the air, ends up acquiring resinous consistency and yellow coloration. It has a rustic fragrance with woody nuances.
Natura Ekos Copaíba (as it is called in Brazil, instead of Natura Copaíba) is made with notes of bergamot, clementine, elemi resin, grapefruit, lemon, spicy accord, cedar, vetiver (in the body and the base of the fragrance), leather, labdanum, copaiba and sandalwood. I dare say it is one of the best perfumes created by Verônica Kato in recent times, because it does not have that typical output of national perfumes, which makes the consumer think “more of the same.”
On my skin, the output is juicy, fruity and has a bittersweet smell, which reminded me of cassis. The evolution is gradual and the fragrance becomes denser, just like the resin of the tree, when exposed to the air. I do not feel the leather, truth be told. But there is an oriental facet (from the labdanum, of course) that mixes with the nuances of cedar and sandalwood, making this scent something very pleasurable.
Natua Ekos Copaíba is woody, fruity, slightly aromatic and very versatile. It exhales well, but briefly. It tends to stay soft but can last for about six hours. For those who want to keep the perfume all day, I suggest reapplying every four hours.
Finally, although there is a need for more commercial fragrances for market survival, I think that the Ekos line is the Natura’s most innovative line in every way. There is where the most differentiated fragrances are found, which exploit the essential oils patented by the company and never seen before in the common perfumery, such as priprioca, buriti, açaí, pitanga, andiroba, etc.
It’s a shame that Ekos Copaíba has not come to stay in the Natura portfolio. It’s delicious!

At first glance I thought it would be the Natura’s version to “o Boticário Uomini Origem”. I have this one, I´m at the office right now, but as far I remember they share something in commom. But this one is more of a reminiscence, in terms of smell, of CH Men, although very week. The defunct Natura Aurum also shared something in commom with CH Men and was more strong. In the past two months Natura literaly killed a good deal of its fragrances, algo including, from the “Natura Homem” line, the Elemento and Nitro versions. Anyway, I can’t accuse Natura of identity crises about its fragrances without doing the same with O Boticário. At least Natura has presented two somewhat discret but good smelling ones (my nose saying it) to help its case: Sr. N. Sândalo and #urbano recria. In the end, Copaiba, doesn’t finish sweet, but its always weak in terms of sillage.
