Twice is a charm
Zara has done it again. The brand often releases new fragrances in new packaging and under a new name that it already had on offer. This time it's more fun because it offers two identical fragrances at the same time. Sweet Illusion is nothing more than Supreme Vanilla poured into the new bottle. These are identical fragrances, even the notes and descriptions are the same. So I won't focus on the description of the scent because I will do it during the review of Supreme Vanilla. I don't feel any differences in these compositions.
In short, we have an extractive, cozy vanilla with the addition of an interesting note of ink. It creates an effect that may be difficult for some people to understand, as we have a nuance reminiscent of an extinguished cigarette in an ashtray.
For me, this is an intriguing enrichment of the composition, directing it to somewhat niche areas. I can reassure those who are afraid of smelling like an ashtray full of pets, it doesn't last long. After some time, the inky note fades away and a very pleasant, sweet vanilla dominates until the end. You have to like gourmand scents to appreciate it, vanilla is enriched with slightly burnt sugar and the level of sweetness is high. The cedar softens the sweetness a bit.
It is unisex, perhaps with a slight tilt towards women, but as a vanilla fan myself, I have Supreme Vanilla and I think it also smells very intriguing on men's skin.
When choosing between Supreme Vanilla and Sweet Illusion, it doesn't matter which one you choose because they smell the same. It's basically a matter of choosing the bottle we like better. Sweet Illusion has one advantage - it is cheaper. For the same price as Supreme Vanilla, we get a larger capacity.
For now I have Supreme Vanilla, but I don't rule out buying Sweet Illusion in the future, especially since the parameters are also the same, i.e. good.
Edit:
After further tests, I find that it is slightly different from Supreme Vanilla. In Sweet Illusion, the ink note is more subtle. There is more emphasis on vanilla and sugar.
Moreover, the atomizers in this series are poor, they spit and spray the liquid unevenly.
