I can hardly believe how great this fragrance and Give me a sign have turned out. I've had the feeling for the past few weeks that my favorite fragrances are set, but since I got the two new Zara fragrances, I only have eyes (nose?) for these. Gleam of the moon has something really relaxing and positive for me. It simply gives me a feeling that I usually only get from Rituals of Jing- Relax. The two fragrances are not the same, but there might be something in common, as even the smell itself reminds me of the Rituals fragrance. The notes are to a certain extent traceable, but I think you can also smell some coconut. Maybe you can also sense mango, but not necessarily. I don't find the fragrance quite as sweet as all the others in the range, a little more balanced, so to speak. Of course, there will be people whose taste doesn't match the perfume, but somehow I have the feeling that there wouldn't be many of them otherwise. I almost have the feeling that it would be hard not to love the fragrance. So I can really only recommend it. The longevity is really good on clothes (about 20-24 hours) and the sillage isn't shockingly good or anything but definitely good. I'm not saying it would suit everyone, but I think few would find it frighteningly weak. It's perfect in my eyes :)

The similarity to Supreme Vanilla is indeed enormous. While the individual fragrance notes really "pop" in Supreme Vanilla, here I have the feeling of smelling a kind of one-dimensional overall fragrance right from the start. It's as if the individual fragrance notes don't cover each other up, but lie next to each other and play together. I can smell each of the notes right from the start. Somehow I also have the feeling that Sweet Illusion is a tiny bit creamier. I somehow thought that it was like taking the creamy facet of Starlight Vanilla and adding it to Supreme Vanilla. But maybe that's a bit far-fetched, I don't know :D
