Beautiful Cara
The lovely comments here have once again triggered a "want-to-have" reflex since I really enjoy powdery vanilla scents. Snagged blindly in the souk from a dear perfumer, I went straight to testing today.
Hmm... Vanilla? I don't smell it at all... but first, a green-almond note. I actually quite like it here after overcoming the initial shock of the non-vanilla :)
The vanilla doesn't really come through on my skin at first. That's okay... I like almonds too. This almond note is so beautiful, delicate, and powdery. I'm thrilled. Slowly, after about an hour, the vanilla starts to make an appearance.
Cara is a powdery scent dream made of beautiful almond milk surrounded by gentle vanilla. Not at all intrusive, not too sweet because that green feeling, wherever it may come from, is always present.
Cara is truly a fine fragrance that gently envelops the wearer in a delicate scent veil. Unisex... I don't think so... in my opinion, Cara is too feminine for that.
Of course, I also wanted to know where the almond comes from. In ALZD, the fragrance pyramid is displayed a bit differently... and so the overall picture fits :)
For those interested:
Top note: Vanilla, Sugar
Heart note: Almond, Caramel
Base note: Amber, Powdery Notes
Unfortunately, I can't provide exact information about the longevity, but sprayed 3 hours ago, the scent still smells very intense. The sillage isn't that great... but it doesn't have to be... here it suffices to feel a sense of satisfaction from this wonderful fragrance. I can imagine wearing Cara in any season.
The bottle... well, beautiful is something else, but the content matters.
Conclusion: Cara is beautiful! I'm glad to have her in my fragrance collection!

Luxury Powder Puff
Today, Cara moved in with me.
It was a rather spontaneous decision, as I had sworn to live alone from now on, for reasons.
Things turned out differently, and I am glad about it.
Cara is simply wonderful.
She doesn't like to be in the spotlight, yet she is hard to overlook.
She appreciates understatement, and that is precisely what makes her so appealing.
She comes on quiet feet and enchants with her lightness more than many crowd-pleasers that shout "Make way!" from 10 meters away.
Cara wraps you around her finger without you even noticing, and before you know it, she has come to stay.
Resolutions are made to be broken, so I gladly made room for Cara beside me.

Cara?

CARA???

Oh there you are, hmmmm……

Liquid Happiness
This comment is dedicated to my "scent sister" AnnaKi :-)

Cara...the world's most beautiful vanilla scent!

Delicious, airy, and soaring it is, "uplifting" like the golden rays of the sun, it surrounds me like liquid happiness.

It is hard to put into words because something very special defines it; how can I do it justice? It is different from all other vanilla scents.

Sweet yet light, it has a pronounced caramel note that doesn’t feel heavy and still shows a lot of presence. The almond is more like almond milk dusted with the finest powder.

Although a gourmand with plenty of sillage and longevity, it remains as light as a golden vanilla kiss from an angel. A delicate creaminess like a spread cake batter is added; all of this is always very sweet but never too sweet. It must be the amber that ensures it is and remains an adult gourmand.

It radiates carefreeness and an inner sunshine... "I am 8 years old and ride my bike home from school, today it ends early, I am so happy. In the warm summer air, butterflies flutter, my fingers brush past golden ears of corn along the roadside, the wind gently caresses my face... when I arrive home, my mother sets a bowl of still warm vanilla pudding with caramel sauce on the table, outside the birds are chirping, life is so beautiful"...
This feeling is what Cara transports for me.

The only question remains why on earth it is not yet in my collection;-)

High Summer Vanilla
The Cara is beautiful.
The Cara makes you happy.
The Cara invites you to feel good.
The Cara is very clingy.
The Cara is sweet and powdery and soft.
The Cara takes me mentally through a high summer wildflower meadow in the morning, where the incredibly wonderful vanilla combines with the scent of the wild meadow for many, many hours.
The Cara is different from other vanilla fragrances, with a subtler sweetness that never overwhelms.
The Cara is sunny, blissful vanilla with powdered sugar and more summery than any other perfume.
The Cara is an absolute dream that I always love to have by my side.

Vanilla Crescent!
I have to agree with Sunshine - a sweet, angelic almond note garnished with vanilla sugar to comfort on dark and cold days. One wants to throw on their cozy tracksuit and then disappear under the blanket on the couch or in bed with the scent on their skin :)

The fragrance is sweet - but not cloyingly sweet. You can't directly smell the amber, but I think it’s exactly this hint that keeps the scent balanced so it doesn’t drift into girly sweetness. Thus, it remains a cozy scent for the adult woman or a sweet man *g* (mine likes such fragrances), which also surprisingly lasts well on the skin and hardly changes in its presence.

Autumn can come! (well, actually it’s almost here already *laugh*)

Dear Cara,
I can't forget you.
Your softness and sweetness
Your powdery radiance and your vanilla-yellow glow.

A completely overwhelming talcum powder that buries the vanilla underneath! :-( Smells like vanilla deodorant in a gym mat room.

Infinitely soft almond-vanilla. Reminds me of the pink-yellow marshmallows with a sugar coating from my childhood called "Babyspeck" :-)

The talcum makes the difference.
Vanilla clouds drift across the sky, delicate, soft, and so cuddly.
The opposite of being intrusive.

Love at the third sniff - after almost seven hours, I still can't keep my nose off my wrist. A vanilla dream.

My skin is definitely a fragrance eater. So far, so good. But here it completely devours the scent. Who can blame it? It’s also DELICIOUS.

Damn, it's so good! I have to resist the urge to lick it off my wrist... at least while someone's around.
I need to have it!

Another one for the wish list. I'm going crazy! Marshmallow (but very light & fluffy) with vanilla powder.
Longevity is unfortunately poor.

After spraying, I smell a delicate almond scent that later becomes smoky-vanilla. A lovely cozy fragrance, I really like it!!!!
