Cheerful Attitude

Cheerful Attitude by Zara presents a gourmand profile with dominant sweet, fruity, and powdery accords, centered around vanilla and cotton candy. Despite the brand's naming and marketing, this scent often evokes a masculine or cologne-like character rather than a soft, feminine gourmand. Many users report that the red berries and cotton candy notes are fleeting, with the dry-down leaning toward a sharp, minty, and slightly synthetic character resembling Baccarat 540 or Ariana Grande’s Cloud — though with less creaminess and more spiciness. While some appreciate the subtle sweetness and soft summery vibe, others describe it as thin, quick-evaporating, and lacking in projection. The scent is perceived as more appealing when worn by men or on clothing, with notable longevity on fabric despite frequent reports of weak sillage and short persistence on skin. While not universally beloved, it is considered a credible alternative to popular gourmands, especially for those seeking a lighter, more affordable version.
