Scent

Vanilla sphere with cast seam

Deep dark opulent sweetness to start, wrapped in synthetic smoke. Main theme: smoky vanilla. Whereby the smoke remains quite discreet.

Directly on the test strip, "Vanilla Vibration" is alcoholic for a long time. The start is therefore quite bumpy.
Here you have spicy, leathery and nuanced tobacco passages as a recurring sound, in contrast to the consistently palatable sweetness.
The resinous-balsamic smoke with its floral sprinkles is also clear.
After the relatively long way to the drydown, a spiciness, some gentle incense and the ever-vanilla amber sweetness remain. Seductive and appetizing.
All absolutely unisex, but also absolutely suitable for men.

At the beginning, I quickly became scent-blind. The projection seemed close to the skin, ...or so you think. From my clothing, it radiates solidly and pleasantly. The durability is in the upper "Zara" mid-range.

"Vanilla Vibration" reminds me of a long-lost perfume memory. Perhaps it is the minimal nuances of Sculpture Homme God's Night, only in a more interesting form. The similarity is already relatively great, I would say. With both, however, a somewhat favorable impression remains. The synthetic overall composition remains and can detract from the otherwise pleasant fragrance experience. At least that's how I feel about it.
Although the differences to the following fragrances are much greater, there are some parallels: "#Tobacco Collection - Rich/Warm/Addictive | Zara" does the theme better, but unfortunately without this vibrant spiciness. There are also nuanced similarities with Warm Black, without the powerful vibrating ginger. But it is also better made than "Vanilla Vibration". Both perfumes compared are characterized by the fact that the inexpensive production is not really reflected in the overall composition or fragrance.

"Vanilla Vibration" is like a perfect-looking, transparent sphere filled with black, viscous vanilla liquid. Hand-sized, weighty and a wonderful hand flatterer. Until you realize that it is a plastic sphere, matt coated and has a cast seam as an equator.

Nevertheless, "Vanilla Vibration" is a perfume that retains its depth and opulent elegance, but has never been perfected.

Great commentary on this fragrance. I have an ambivalent relationship with Zara fragrances: on the one hand, they are pleasantly inexpensive, on the other hand, they rarely really reach me.

Many of the Zara perfumes I know have potential, but among them there are perhaps three that I don't really have anything to complain about. I kind of like them.
Still, it's not easy with Zara. :)
Happy New Year! ✨

PS: On New Year's Eve, I go to a company where I unfortunately have to do without perfume. For understandable and comprehensible reasons (allergy alert).
But the handy 30ml bottle of "Vanilla Vibration" in its shape is traveling with me today. Narrow, long and easy to stow away. A travel bottle, so to speak.
Because, "Vanilla Vibration" is perfect for the turn of the year with gold and sparkle, champagne and gunpowder. So I was able to adequately celebrate the New Year on my way home.
As we bid farewell to the old year and look forward to the new, I wish you all a wonderful evening and a successful New Year! 🥂
