Supreme Vanilla Eau De Parfum: Dark Academia Perfection

Imagine being in the most beautiful old library reading a book that smells of paper and ink, the place is full of wooden tables and bookcases and you have fresh vanilla biscuits with you. This is how this perfume smells.

Zara perfumes are so good and even better if we consider how affordable they are and this one is by far my favorite. It doesn't have an olfactory pyramid, the notes are linear, something that makes every note have pretty much the same intensity throughout its run.

Notes: Tonka beans, cedarwood, Madagascar vanilla, and pink sugar with inky notes.

As the name suggests, it is a vanilla perfume at its core and is the main note, everything else is to add more character to it. The second most prominent note is by far the ink. In a lot of reviews, I have seen people describe the smell as "wet ashtray" and even though I understand where this is coming from I do not agree exactly. Yes, there is something that resembles an ashtray, but in a good way? I don't know how to explain it, but the smell is almost comforting. The ink smells exactly like an ink pad my grandfather had and along with the velvety almost tobacco-like/almondy smell of the tonka beans gives a kick that personally I find soooo good. It is a mysterious, sophisticated, and dark vanilla and I love an interesting vanilla. The cedarwood and the sugar are supporting roles here, I cannot identify that is cedar I smell but with time there is an aromatic woodiness that lingers on my skin and the sugar adds sweetness all around, which this perfume needs imo.

It is a juggernaut as far as longevity goes and even more as sillage goes. This thing smells A LOT, and for days on my clothes, but it isn't clogging at all. To explain how impressed I am with it, I was wearing it in a bar I go to quite often and the place is very small, more often than not extremely crowded, and people can smoke inside, and I still got questions on what perfume I wear because those around me could smell it, something that is not a thing in that place.

Something that I also didn't expect (bc the reviews I had read were a mixed bag) is how much of a people's pleaser it is, especially men. Every time I wear it I get questions on what I wear, bc they like it yes, but also bc they want to get it, so at least the people around me find it as unisex as they come, something that I also agree with. I can see everyone wearing it and even all day, just not in summer. I haven't tried it on very warm/hot days yet, but the vibe doesn't give summer at all.

Vanilla perfumes for all vanilla lovers. This note is sweet, warm, sensual, and definitely a reliable crowd pleaser. It’s good to have a few vanillas in your collection as they make great choices to use as a base for layering with other fragrances even if you don’t want to wear a vanilla on it’s own.
