By the editors · 2 min readIlía Ser — 'to be' in Spanish, a phrase loaded with existential weight — opens with a familiar pairing of lavender and bergamot before letting its floral heart take over. Rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley form a classic triad, blended at Natura's typically accessible density rather than at the saturated level of European prestige florals.
What gives Ser its character is the base: Madagascar vanilla, benzoin, coumarin, and heliotrope build a soft powdery amber warmth that blurs the floral and the oriental. Guaiac wood and patchouli contribute a subtle smokiness without darkening the composition. The result sits somewhere between a daytime skin scent and an evening amber floral.
As a 2021 entry in the Ilía line, it positions itself as the warmer, more intimate counterpart to the lineup's fresher expressions.
