Hypnotic Vanilla Bloom

This was my favorite last year , just randomly walking into Zara to buy some clothes. Stopped by the perfume section. Smelled this & instantly fell in love, smells sexy & sophisticated with a lil dark twist . Love at first sniff, one of the most affordable in my collection was my favorite. My special occasion scent. It’s definitely all year scent, lasts hours 4-5 The wine bottle specifically. Soon as it finished I ordered another bottle off Zara and when it came it wasn’t in the wine bottle. Long story short, I think it’s been reformulated. Doesn’t have that same longevity & projection the first batch had and I did my research and found out Zara is known for formula inconsistency, once demand is high . Still a lovely fragrance regardless though. I just want exactly that first one I had , not the watered down version. Now I don’t think I will purchase another bottle . Just on a hunt to find something that smells like the first bottle. But people that want to buy it for the first time It’s worth a try ! Give it a try you might love it ! My sister lovesss it

Smells so good and sensual. Very sexy scent could see myself wearing it on a date night. Has the hypnotic vanilla formula but this one is less play Doh undertone..?? It's still vanilla but it's obviously more floral. But because of the pear flower or wtv it's also a little sweet and tiny bit fruity. But mostly sweet - vanilla floral. Idk if it's the right word but it's a very warm scent. Very winter coded. Or at least cold weather coded. Such a feminine scent. Smells a bit like toffee?? The dries down is low-key gourmand 😋🫦. I feel so sensual when wearing it omg. It's a compliment getter, when i walk everyone smells me. I got asked once what perfume i was wearing. Longevity: i sprayed it on Tuesday 12.48 and stayed until wednesday evening so last around two days! It's Thursday and i still get tiny little wiffs. Sillage: 7/10 - can smell it when i am near my arm like writing or just wanting to tie my hair.

If you don’t like this, please give it time to maturate. I bought this in the summer of last year and I disliked it, so I tucked it away and decided to try it again in the spring. The fragrance opens up with a very fragrant and juicy pear note. Even though it’s not listed, my nose picks up a beautiful bouquet of almond-like heliotrope and powdery orchids. There’s something in here that feels very honey-like on my skin, so the dry down is this powdery, floral, vanilla and honey scent that I love. I thought about buying HV Cloud, but layering this with a single note marshmallow fragrance was perfect! If you own Delizia di Marshmallow by Kyse or anything similar, or marshmallow body care products, try that layering combination! This is perfect for date nights or just times when you want to feel pretty during the summer and spring.

A perfect date night scent! I have had Hypnotic Poison for 20 years and I was pleasantly shocked by Hypnotic Vanilla Bloom. I don't think I ever looked forward to wearing Hypnotic Poison the way I look forward to wearing HV Bloom! I would say it's a combination of Zara's Hypnotic Vanilla and Zara's Golden Decade, or perhaps HP by Dior combined with YSL Libre. It projects within arms length and longevity all evening. Something in the opening also reminds me of Zara's Hibiscus. In any case, there's a beautiful sweetness which is both floral and dessert-like: a really beautiful scent and I prefer wearing this over Dior's HP.

This is what I expect of a flanker: keeping close to the DNA of the original, but with enough differences to make them stand out. It’s very much like Hypnotic Vanilla, with less of that Play Doh scent, and without the mossy scent – and yes, with more floral notes. Personally, I favor the Bloom over the Original, even though I can understand why some would consider this variation “safer and more boring”. Projection is really, really good in the beginning, at least to me. Longevity is pretty moderate.
