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

The initial smoky leather note was so strong and masculine, I was actually offended. I hated it. I didnt smell any cocoa or latte at all. But within 5-10 mins, a musky hot chocolate note came out and I kept going back to smell it. I’ve never smelled a combination like that before. I love the duality of the smoke with the powdery cocoa. I get what people mean by the waxy smell but I don’t think that when I smell it. It comes off as leathery to me. I also dont think the notes listed are entirely accurate. A more accurate note description would be Smoke Suede, Hot chocolate, Vanilla and Animal notes I kept smelling it 7 hours later. It turns into a smoky cocoa-y animalic skin kind of note. It’s an amazing value for the price.

Very interesting balance between cozy / gourmand / innocent (as in Bianco Latte or Eclaire vibes), and sophisticated / sexy suede, for a very reasonable price. Great longevity and sillage for a low budget perfume. To my nose, it doesn't smell cheap, nor chemical. It smells like hot chocolate milk and suede, and slightly smoky. It may not be the most original composition but it gets the job done on following the trends with a solid quality product. If this were on a niche bottle, from an expensive brand, it would be raved about. But poor Zara, she never gets the credit she deserves LOL I don't understand how almost nobody talks about this on social media. The only negative side: sometimes it gives me a rash.

I was given a candle with this scent. It smells like desserts in a coffee shop. It also has the added scent of damp autumn clothes and genuine leather shoes. It's as if people are standing outside the windows of this establishment, looking inside, where it's warm and cozy. When the candle was running low, I added the remains of chewed honeycomb, the remains of old cheap candles, burnt matches, and pieces of fire starter napkins to the glass container. It was a real miracle! The smell of campfire, honey, leather, coffee desserts - it was richer and better than before! If you only knew how much I love setting fire to something and watching it burn and smell!

The perfume has nothing to do with Éclair or Bianco Latte. The main scent is smoky woody vanilla. There are no milky, caramel, or sweet notes whatsoever. It’s an absolute copy of Rifaakat, Babycat, and Vanagloria. There is a rubbery accord, but it’s not unpleasant. Often, when a perfume is criticized, the word “synthetic” is thrown around — but let’s be honest, everything in perfumery is synthetic. At this stage, the scent doesn’t strike me as particularly long-lasting or radiant, though it’s too early for definitive judgments — these are only my first impressions. The bottle is elegant, with a well-crafted cap.

Insanely well performing fragrance based on Bianco Latte. Ignore the frag snobs, my wife has both original and this one and they are definitely going in the same direction. There's nothing cheap smelling about this one. Lovely caramel, vanilla, slightly lactonic, almondy smell. This one will be highly sought after, so grab it as soon as you get the chance. It's a killer fragrance. DON'T smell it upclose, there's a good chance you'll get anosmic, and won't smell anything. One spray on a strip or skin, and smell at distance, try to get silage of it. Same with Bianco Latte

Whoever said this is like baby cat and Bianco latte came together and made a perfume.... They are correct I have rifaaqat and eclair and yes, same. It is a beautiful perfect combination of the gourmand side and the animalic earthy resinous side of those perfumes put together! So sophisticated! I love both (or all 4 I should say) of those perfumes but I’d still want to always have this in my collection it’s so nice especially for this fall time of year but honestly can be worn when we you want to smell sweet but a bit more elevated than just like a cupcake!

Absolutely amazing but you must like resinous fragrances, suede and sweetness. I am really loving this. It reminds me of Rifaaqat ( as a cousin, same family not identical). It is more leathery in the initial spray, the dry down is really gentle. It is an attention getter, not for the faint of heart, that's a bold dark yet sweet fragrance. If you like Rifaaqat you should like this too. I would say it is unisex although it's very sweet but a man wearing this is like a red cape for a bull ( I am a Taurus). Fabulous 😍

It is actually incredible, I bought it because I could feel the leather note in it and it's something I personally love. Leather plus a sweet chocolate, it is true that the name may be misleading but I'm glad it is because it's so good, I can understand why its not for everyone thought. People comparing it to bianco latte are so wrong, also bianco latte smells fine but omg it has no projection for such an expensive perfume. I would recommend getting the perfume with the body oil, they good so good together !!

Oh I love this. I visited it few times on hot summer days, And after spraying it I just couldn’t stop sniffing it on me. Leather notes in general pleases me, but here it is not too strong so it could be weared on heat summer days. Its not perfumey and feels really sotf & pleasant overall. Very sexy too. I find that people especially men are feelin the pull towards scents that are little dirty/unperfect/natural/primal combined to something sweet and pretty. SO anyways, today I get the Bottle home.

The suede in this is extremely realistic, to the point of smelling like an actual animal, specifically a horse. To me on my skin this smells of literal horse. If a horse was wearing Bianco Latte, this is exactly what it would smell like. A couple of hours later there's also a slight rubbery tire note in there. I am aware this sounds awful and yet I love it. Really not quite brave enough to pull this one off so I'm not gonna buy it but holy moly it's fabulous.

One spray is all I need. This is by far the best perfume I've ever smelled by Zara. It's so cozy (especially now being fall) It's sweet without being cloying, and has that comforting powder from the suede and a bit of smokiness that, although is not quite cocoa, reminds me of it and also of roasted marshmallows. Without a doubt is a softer, quieter Babycat dupe, which I still hope to acquire one day but for now this will suffice.

Girls, guys. I read all the reviews. This one is about the trail and sillage. Stop sticking your nose on wherever you applied it, or applying it right under your nose. You all are getting rubber/leather smell because you get anosmic to the more airy, vanilla, latte notes. This scent is strong, and is meant to be smelled at some distance. Two sprays at the BACK of your neck is enough, and then tell me what you think.

I love this perfume! The name is sure decieving, the suede smell is very strong and it takes a while for the chocolate notes to come in but its still really good, very hypnotic. The time i bought it I wasnt originally looking for a perfume, but since the first time i smelled it i couldnt keep it out of my mind i couldnt just leave it there. It's also quite long lasting, strong and endurant, and cheap too!

To me smells almost exactly like Bianco Latte, but with an added really subtle and soft suede note. My pet peeve about Bianco latte was it's sickly sweetness but this dials it down a bit and is fantastic. When you first spray it is quite harsh and screechy but if you can get past that first ten minutes of screechiness, then you'll be grand. Can definitely pull it off as a guy, 100% unisex imo

i never managed to get into bianco latte, i always smelled something in the back of it that irked me...like the wax of an unscented candle, so when i read this was similar i was sure i'd hate it. this, however, i love. i think the suede note helps toning down the sweetness and making it more creamy. it's definitely a cozy smell, almost reminiscent of hot white chocolate.
