well without an expiration date
The last time I rummaged through the small pouch with the miniatures, I noticed the Eau de Parfum "Nature" by Yves Rocher. Hadn't I already commented on the Eau de Toilette?
I had, and I wondered why I could completely forget or overlook the stronger, slightly altered creation according to the fragrance pyramid?
So the miniature was taken out, and - lo and behold: it was still full!
Curious, I wanted to open it, but the little stopper didn’t want to budge. In the end, I won the little duel and was quite amazed:
This enchanting scent seems to have remained unchanged over the years.

A thick bundle of fully bloomed freesias sits radiantly in its leafy nest and is caressed by fresh mandarin and a lovely, slightly cheeky spring scent (could that be the leatherleaf?).
Thus, the fragrance entry sits cheerfully and proudly until the two white (not universally loved) beauties jasmine and lily of the valley conquer the fragrance field.
As is well known, both are not shy about releasing their aromas, but here, together with the top note, they spread the magic of late spring and early summer.
Early roses (le prime rose), still with a certain innocence, join in. Their scent is not too heavy, too sensual and erotic, but summer-light and very graceful.
A little, their scent reminds me of the charm of yellow tea roses; I wonder if the perfumers remained true to the delicate flower coloring?
This already early-summer buoyancy and natural elegance gets a special kick from peppermint; freshness spreads out, but does not dominate in this floral world.
I wonder if the stylized leaf on the bottle is one of the peppermint leaves.
I remember them being a bit slimmer and narrower; but mint varieties and leaves are not exactly rare, and perhaps this leaf doesn’t belong to this fragrance idyll at all.
Cedar finally underscores the spicy-aromatic mint addition and rounds off a summery fragrance pleasure.
A strikingly well-dressed fragrance lady has now developed and remains pleasantly true to the skin for some time.

As with many of the fragrances from this brand from the nineties, this Eau de Parfum also reveals how much care went into its composition.
Nothing is bombastic, loud, or unrefined: "Nature" is also a beautiful feminine being as an EdP, deserving of more attention than it has received from me so far.
(Shame on me! I am ashamed!)

Perhaps this little bottle had to rest in the darkness of forgetfulness for so long until I could truly appreciate its contents.
For I have found a little treasure here; even though autumn is already peeking around the corner, the image of an early summer landscape unfolds from a single drop of "Nature".
Here, the name is program: nature determines the fragrance direction; frills and any artistic detours are left out.
So I am sure: the time to experience this nature in the form of the Eau de Parfum will come.
I will not forget this lovable being again.

A Green Meadow Has No Affectedness
“Nature” is an unpretentious, simple green fragrance. It has neither the (brilliantly bitter!) edges and contours of “Ô de Lancôme” nor the star-like pretensions of sophisticated cool green chypres or colognes. It is plain, it is uncomplicated, and it is good just as it is.

For: A dew-covered green meadow has no affectedness either. It smells pure and delicate of green green, underlined by a subtle floral scent. So too does Rochas' “Nature”: Just delicate green with a twofold woody base, sprinkled with a bit of rose and lily of the valley. Added to this is a wonderfully unobtrusive Rochelinade. Period.

It’s a pity that the EdP has recently been discontinued. Like perhaps some other noses, I had the fragrance as an unobtrusive, natural entry scent when I was 13 or 14 years old. Thanks to Blauemaus, I was able to indulge in green nostalgia. It was lovely!

Powdery-woody and green sensuality
This beautiful fragrance has unfortunately been discontinued by Y.R. I am all the more delighted that I received a half-full bottle from Hasi. Thank you so much, my dear.

The bottle alone is already stunning - albeit a bit impractical. It is made of heavy glass, with a frosted leaf, very decorative. And the scent? It is distinctly different from the Nature EdT. It is richer, less fresh, and above all, woodier. The cedar skillfully takes center stage from start to finish. Right after application, you can smell the leather and lily of the valley very well. The freesia also comes into play nicely after a while. Yet the cedar, with its fine-woody powderiness, overshadows everything. I cannot make out mandarin, rose, and peppermint leaf.

The longevity is very good. It's a shame that Y.R. has discontinued the fragrance. But fortunately, we still have the EdT, which is much more classic and also very beautiful.

Edit Oct. 2010: I was actually able to order a bottle during the YR sale. I am so happy!!!

For the 50th, something lovely
Wonderful scent, also available as EDT at Yves Rocher. Scent intensity and longevity are very good for both!!
The bottle of the EDP is prettier and made of really noble, heavy glass. The top part of the EDT is plastic, but it is a spray bottle.

Yves Rocher provides a bit more information about the scent:
The scent of velvety mosses and fresh bark, the sparkling freshness of mandarin, which unites with the seductive notes of rose, jasmine, and freesia... A fragrance as pure as a dewdrop and indescribably feminine.
What fragrance family?
Floral-green: mandarin, crushed peppermint leaves, leatherleaf, top note, lily of the valley, cedar.

I have been wearing this scent on and off for 20 years. Yves Rocher has reformulated it from time to time, but thankfully not this one.
Moreover, "Nature" is a fragrance that can certainly be described as "classic." It fits just as well in the opera as it does at work.

Light Fragrance
I find this fragrance lightly floral and fresh. Is there supposed to be mandarin in the top note? Well, I didn't perceive that, but rather lilac.
This scent reminds me of an outing in the greenery. One strolls through nature after a powerful summer thunderstorm. The air smells clear and pure.
Nature is such a pure and fresh fragrance. It is by no means intrusive and is well-suited for daily wear in spring and summer.
I find the bottle simply chic. It is elegantly shaped, and with the glass stopper, you can apply the fragrance drops sparingly.

Richer than the zestier EdT with many fragrance-intensive spring flowers: spicy peppermint leaf and cedar provide a pleasant balance.
