What wearers say
“Very vanilla forward opening, smelling nice and delicious with the caramel. Projection and longevity is weaker compared to the other vanillas from Zara that I tried, but considering these Zara prices, it is perfectly fine to touch up. This fragrance was originally part of the Vanilla line, but now they basically made it one of their staples, one of their classics so to speak, which is kind of cool. It’s likable, kind of soft. One of those scents that needs to be discovered, not a beast that will come at you.”
“OMG i don’t believe it that i would like it so much, it’s so delicious!! The dry down so good! I would like to find a niche perfume or designer that smells like that, because this one doesn’t have a good silage/protection, the longevity though, in specially on clothes is good. To me it smells like vanilla ice cream, with caramel. Yum !”
“The hype is real! It's a fantastic HP dupe without that playdough / synthetic note. It can be worn very easily, night and / or day. Sillage (in case you spray it on clothes), longevity and price are all great! Totally recomended!”
