Cocoa & Latte

I don't like sweet or gourmand fragances, but this one.... is weird. It smells like white chocolate, but in a refined way (it doesn't feel sugary or something you could eat). But the suede... oh my. They blend PERFECTLY. On paper, it wasn't for me at all, too much chocolate stench, but when I tried it on the skin, the suede just got all the control. It smells fancy, it smells comfy, it smells like you can pay 200$ for a sweater. A thing no one is pointing out; this is not leather, it's suede (gamuza/ante in spanish). They are not the same, they don't feel the same, they don't smell the same. The suede is ''softer'' and not as intrusive as leather's aroma. It's pretty unique. I recommend testing first on skin (it's ''only'' 17,95 euros, but still can't say it's good for blind buy), as, in my case, it changed almost completely from the paper. Sillage, projection, etcetcetc... are all good. On me, it gets to 5-6 hours (2 with good projection, then slowly turns into a more personal space scent, but you can still smell it), till it fades onto the skin, but I have to shower to get rid of the fraganc completely (sleeping with it softened on the skin feels so lovely). I would use it all year around, but maybe not in super hot climate or weather (smelling like chocolate on summer is a little bit not it). It's PERFECT for autumn and not hyper-gelid winter tho (would also be good for early wintery-spring). I don't know, it's cheap, it's smells amazing and incredible unique, it's not the typical Zara clean floral women scent... just try it if you have a shop around your city, it's virtually free. P.S.: I usually don't recommend fragances for ''dates'' or so, because I think that's something pretty subjective and personal, but I really think this one is kinda an error-free pick for a comfy (not super fancy or high-end) first day by night.

First of all, I don't think it's similar to Bianco Latte. This is completely different but still good. The thing that they have in similarity is the sweetness. This scent awfully reminds me of the vanilla candles in IKEA. The suede note gives a slight masculine note but at the same time the more it sits, the more that note turns into a candle-like or a burnt scent, it's soft, not sharp at all. I think the suede note makes this perfume more different than other gourmand vanilla-like scents. Chantilly cream and white chocolate are still the most standing notes to me. They remind me of an intense hot white chocolate drink with cream on top. The suede makes this scent heavier and carries the "feminine" notes to a more unisex level. But I think this is the type of scent that you either absolutely hate or absolutely love. My sister and mother were next to me while I was trying it. I loved it, the cream and white chocolate notes were standing out to me, but my sister told me that she hated the leather (the candle like scent) and it was so overbearing. Overall, I like it. It's perfect for a grey weather when it rains or snows. You just need to give it some time to sit. EDIT: This scent does NOT go away. I did a mistake by spraying numerous times. 1-2 spray is more than enough, it's been a day and a half and I can still smell it. It lasts even longer on hair (it got on my hair while I was spraying) and clothes. Beware!

If anyone at Zara ends up reading this, please please don't discontinue this fragrance. I adore it and will continue repurchasing for as long as I live. It is, for me, the best combination I have found of a sweet gourmand with a light chocolate smell and a dark and almost dangerous powdery suede. I personally love this combo, it works either for a night out at a vintage/cool place in the spring and summer or as an all-around casual scent for the colder months. It's a unisex fragrance but the milky sweetness makes me love it as a woman, but I could definitely see the kind of man that enjoys wearing Tobacco Vanille enjoying this fragrance. It also has insanely good silage and longevity, especially for its price point. I can still feel it on my skin over 12h later. It's an insanely sophisticated and complex smell, it legitimately smells more expensive than most Kayali perfumes. It's not a straight-up gourmand and it's not sickly sweet, but the richness in the suede along with the milky and delicate sweetness are delicious. Edit: Just to add that I smelled Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait today and after an hour it smells exactly like this.

The people saying it's reminiscent of babycat do not lie! I was on the fence for awhile but finally got this during a sale on some other fragrances and I do not regret it (wish I could say the same for the other 6 fragrances 🥲) I feel like if you like babycat you will probably enjoy this. You definitely gotta like leather/suede to enjoy it. Hope this doesn't get discontinued. Haven't smelled elclaire and bianco was forgettable so I don't remember if this smells anything like that... I'm assuming probably not to my nose cause I'd definitely remember if bianco smelled *this* good to me. Edit 5/17/26- Ehh. I kind of ruined it by doing a side by side comparison with babycat. I dunno, I just love babycat too much probably that it ruins everything in comparison lol if I didn't smell them side by side I'd probably still like this. After doing that, this smells kind of off like it has some sort of weird peach like fruit note mixed with cigarette... if you ever smelled disfruta from lore you'll understand, it is almost that same weird cigarette vibe. Don't know if I'll be able to keep this one now. Sad.

STOP.....somebody down below in the comments made an excellent point, this perfume is about performance and silage. When you first spray this perfume it comes across as if the notes are fighting each other, and that’s because it’s strong, However without realising, it’s the concentration of creamy chocolatey projection that’s awaiting to be set free. I sprayed this upon getting ready for work at home, and by the time I got to work I was greeted with an entourage of you smell gorgeous / amazing comments , I even got u smell good enough to eat!. And then came the question....what are you wearing and when it was revealed that it was actually from Zara, folks could not believe it while writing down the name lol. So yeh, get your hands on a bottle, and relax whilst it works it’s magic x
