02 Sweet Vanilla

Sweet Vanilla by Zara delivers a creamy, gourmand experience with prominent caramel, chestnut, and vanilla notes that evolve from a somewhat synthetic, soapy initial impression into a warm, powdery, and sweetly nutty dry-down. The fragrance has moderate to long-lasting performance, with many users reporting up to 6-7 hours of wear, making it surprisingly durable for a Zara release. It carries a soft, intimate sillage and feels most comfortable during winter or autumn, especially in the evening, with the scent described as cozy, comforting, and reminiscent of sweet vanilla ice cream or baked cupcakes. While some users note it lacks complexity and finds the initial synthetic quality off-putting, others praise it as a uniquely addictive, affordable indulgence that layers well with deeper fragrances like oud.
