Sweet buttery "Devotion" vanilla
The combination of sweet vanilla and citrus notes is right on trend. Vanilla Devotion picks up on this trend. However, this is not the only fragrance that goes in this direction that Zara has in its portfolio.
When I read the fragrance notes, it was clear that I wanted to try Vanilla Devotion, because the combination of sweet vanilla plus citrusy notes is extremely appealing to me. I was also curious to see if it was similar to the Zara fragrance A Sweet Pastry In Paris, which I have owned for a few years and love very much. In any case, the fragrance notes described are very similar.
After my test, I can say that the two fragrances are not very similar. The fragrance notes are very different in both fragrances. Vanilla Devotion is characterized by a very sweet, somehow heavy vanilla. Somehow "buttery" too, come to think of it. The citrusy notes barely soften the sweetness and remain very much in the background. I'm sure that Vanilla Devotion contains orange blossom, even if Zara doesn't list it as a fragrance note.
Unlike A Sweet Pastry In Paris, Vanilla Devotion doesn't smell like a freshly baked lemon cake to me. I don't get that association, the citrus doesn't come out enough.
In any case, when I tested it, I immediately realized that the fragrance reminded me of another fragrance, namely Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana. I find the similarity very strong.
Personally, I find the vanilla in Zara's Vanilla Devotion a little too "heavy", just like in Dolce & Gabbana's Devotion. But that's my personal opinion and doesn't change the fact that Zara has once again launched a great, balanced gourmand fragrance with very good longevity.

Ich kann deine Rezension zu 100 Prozent unterschreiben! Den Sweet Pastry kenne ich nicht, vielleicht sollte ich den mal testen.

Ja, teste den unbedingt mal! Momentan gibt es ihn wieder bei Zara. Ich liebe A Sweet Pastry in Paris wirklich sehr, der riecht für mich so, wie ich mir Vanille mit Zitrus vorstelle, ein leckerer warmer Zitronenkuchen, frisch in der Auslage der Konditorei.

This is not at all like D&G Devotion. Vanilla Devotion smells like another Zara fragrance in a new bottle - Evening Flowers.

I have evening flowers and devotion, and I agree, it was the first thing that came to my mind, evening flowers with tiny changes.

An Evening Flowers erinnert mich Vanilla Devotion gar nicht. Hab gerade nochmal probiert, aber nein, Evening Flowers, den ich selbst in meiner Sammlung habe, duftet für mich ganz anders. Vanille kommt hier nicht so süß raus, dafür nehme ich überlagernd etwas leicht Fruchtiges und später auch eine florale Note wahr. Eine Ähnlichkeit zu Vanilla Devotion kann ich persönlich gar nicht erkennen.
