The best of the new Zara Vanilla line
Some of these reviews are a bit much (LOL), but I always tell myself that fragrance is subjective. What one nose smells, another nose will interpret differently. That being said, I don’t get the “ashtray” “cigarette” vibe that a lot of people mention here… maybe the ink is coming off “smoky” to some but I can assure you that doesn’t last long when you actually wear the fragrance from start to finish.
Supreme Vanilla starts off with a very sweet vanilla, contrasted with a taunting and bitter ink note. When I first smelled it, I was pleasantly shocked but also scared that the ink was going to “ruin” the fragrance like most have said. But if you actually wear the fragrance and wait for it to dry down, you’ll see that the ink doesn’t stay around for long. After about 20 minutes, the ink moves far into the background and what’s left is a beautiful, sweet, dark vanilla scent with a touch of cedar. The sugar and tonka bean keep the scent sweet throughout its wear.
This is one of Zara’s better performing fragrances, lasting at least 7+ hours on my skin with moderate projection. Supreme Vanilla is personal favorite from the new line of vanillas and it’s quite sexy if you ask me. It doesn’t really remind me of Vanilla 28 because the ink in here is quite distinctive. The ink + vanilla combo really sets it apart from the whole line and from other deep/woody vanillas on the market. Excellent job, Zara. Give it a sniff if you can!
