Supreme Vanilla Zara 2023

Zara is currently doing fragrance fast fashion. Although I wasn't really convinced by much, I naturally had to test a line with a focus on vanilla. After all, it's one of my favorite notes. So, off to Zara!

What can I say. I found two of the line good, one stupid and one was the thousandth dupe for Hypnotic Poison. And Supreme Vanilla? I regretted only buying the 30ml!

The fragrance starts off sweet and smoky. I immediately think of the listed ink, but associations with incense would not be out of place either. This phase makes me advise against a blind purchase. Unless you know that you like both very sweet and smoky fragrances.

After that, it becomes a little 'tamer'. The sweet notes come through and make me think of a big bowl of breakfast cereal with a load of cocoa. I love this smell because it reminds me of carefree childhood days. Supreme Vanilla stays that way, and not for too long. Of the zara fragrances I know, this is one of the more intense ones.

I probably like Supreme Vanilla so much because I've never had this combination of smoky and sweet under my nose before. Somehow it makes me think of a person in a suit wearing colorful socks. At first, it seems grown-up and stern, but it tries to retain a childlike, light-hearted quality.

In general, Zara has done a really good job with this collection. The fragrances are so different in genre that I personally don't like everything, but many people could find something in them!
