Zara Deep Vanilla

Zara Deep Vanilla is a warm, musky, and subtly sweet fragrance that evokes the sensuous depth of Dior Hypnotic Poison without relying on classic gourmand notes. It features a strong woody and powdery base with an initial spicy, slightly medicinal opening that settles into a rich, vanilla-tinged drydown. The scent carries a distinct muskiness and a certain silken smoothness, making it feel both intimate and confident. Many find it to be a quiet but powerful dupe for Hypnotic Poison, with a lighter, airier character that makes it more accessible for everyday wear. The sillage is moderate to strong, lingering for several hours—especially notable given its affordability. It performs best in colder months, with its warmth being particularly appealing during autumn and winter. Despite being marketed as unisex, it's almost exclusively worn by women, and its longevity and projection are highly praised.
