Ekos Alma
by Natura
Ekos Alma is an atmospheric, deeply textured perfume that evokes the dense, moist forest floor of the Amazon. It opens with a luminous interplay of bergamot, black pepper, and cardamom, layered over a floral core of jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus, creating a surprisingly light yet rich top that feels both elegant and mysterious. The heart lingers with a resinous, slightly honeyed warmth, enhanced by earthy, balsamic accents that lend depth without heaviness. As it settles, the fragrance unfolds into a velvety dry down marked by creamy vanilla, sweet carrot, and a soft, powdery balminess from copaiba and benzoin, with subtle, smoky labdanum and myrrh adding a hazy, antique quality that feels ancient and comforting. This is not a bold or loud scent—it has moderate sillage and a quiet presence, making it ideal for evening wear, particularly in cooler months. It carries a sense of intimacy, evoking memories of rainy days, forest walks, or cozy interiors.
Pros
- +The scent is remarkably original and layered, offering a nuanced experience that feels both personal and poetic
- +It has excellent longevity, lasting strongly for hours and remaining on clothing
- +The balance of floral, earthy, and resinous notes makes it deeply atmospheric and evocative, resembling natural forest environments
Cons
- −The sillage is moderate and tends to fade relatively quickly on skin, making it less suitable for daytime or hot weather
- −Some find it too dense or complex for casual wear, and it may feel too 'feminine' or 'old-fashioned' for those seeking modern or bold scents
- −It is potentially under-recognized outside Brazil, making it difficult to obtain globally
