Ruby Berries Zara

In the course of a hiking package I was able to get a sample of Red Vanilla a few months ago and was quite taken by this simple fragrance despite the rather moderate rating here. Vanilla and berries are my favorite combination. So ever since I got this little sample, I've been lurking in and around the Zara online store, ogling the Red Vanilla offerings. And if I'm going to order anyway, it makes sense to blind test a few other scents. Doesn't it? So I kept filling my shopping cart with different Zara fragrances. Only to then not complete the purchase process.

Well. This time it was different. This time I packed me the small filling of Red Vanilla in the shopping cart and also opted for a 100ml Flanker of Ruby Berries, because here too: red berries and vanilla. Bought.
The (current) Parfumobewertung of 6.4 I perceived, but still wanted to try it.

What is positive is the shipping time. Sunday ordered, Tuesday there. But that is (besides the fortunately non-existent shelf life of the fragrance) also the only thing that is positive.
Ruby Berries smells so not at all like vanilla berries, as I imagined. In fact, I don't smell berries, or peach, or vanilla. It just smells... just one-dimensional, pungent, and artificial, with no scent progression at all. Headache. Sure, at that price you don't really need to expect anything else.

I remain - as far as Zara is concerned - so be Red Vanilla, which unlike Ruby Berries keeps its promise
