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.

Another great frag from Zara! I had Hypnotic Poison many years ago and this is definitely in that DNA. A very very feminine, sophisticated ,seductive and sultry evening scent, perfect for date night or dinner out with friends. I bought as part of a bundle from a member of a FB fragrance group I’m in so my bottle is well matured. Projection, sillage and longevity are actually pretty good. I think sprayed on clothing too and you would have a beast on your hands, a very beautiful one at that!

This is in my current top 3 from Zara, i’m genuinely happy it’s finally listed here. Feminine, versatile, juicy, sweet, i just love this one. It’s not super unique, similar to HP/HV but better, a creamy, rich floral scent (not that powdery) with amazing longevity and sillage. Quite linear but well blended. Perfect for every season and occasion, i use it very often, definitely has signature scent potential. I got a few backup bottles.

This smells like a soft landing on an almost dark vanilla. It's beautiful. Just got it at Zara and after a hard choice between the 3 vanilla fighters (immortal vanilla, intense vanilla and the hypnotic vanilla bloom) ...I took the immortal and the bloom. Longevity is so-so, but at this price point we can invest in decanters for a respray every 2 hours or so

Fui na zara a penas pra trocar uma peça de roupa e acabei levando ele, impossível não lembrar do hypnotic poison, é até mais confortável que o primo rico da dior, ele é quente e sensual, ótimo pra lugares com ar condicionado pq no calor do brasil imagino que dê dor de cabeca, mas é otimo, meu namorado adorou

Strong sillage. After the initial spray, I could really smell the florals, but then the dry down becomes this sweet vanilla scent, with very minimal florals. Wore it in humid weather and the scent held up nicely.

This is nearly a dupe for Dior hypnotic poison. The first spray on skin has a strong alcohol scent but it goes away after a few minutes and a strong cashmere scent lingers.

Vanilla nutty (almond) floral. And it is absolutely not a dupe for scandal le parfum, i own both. It’s just a similar type of fragrance, but they do not smell alike.

For me it smells amazing, but not last at all. After 10 minutes it just disappears from my skin and clothes. I can shower in this perfume its just gone in seconds...

I swear there's tuberose here. As 'fraghore' said this reminds me also of Scandal by Night minus the cherry 🍒 This is like Sublime Epoque mixed with Hypnotic Vanilla

I looove this one😩 but it doesn't stay on me for very long, I carry it with me so I can spray some from time to time, other than that it's a very nice rich perfume

I had no idea a perfume could be so sultry. This for sure is a dark feminine scent.

This is definitely more floral than OG. This flanker, which retains the DNA of OG, is very pretty. I think there may be fruits in there to give juicy sweetness. Pear perhaps but the note says pear blossom. I like this better than the Cloud flanker. This is soft, floral, sweet vanilla. I generally don’t like sugary perfumes. And thankfully, the sweetness is not overwhelming. It kinda makes me think of a combo of HV and Golden Decade. Very nice.

This is much more similar to Moncler, Pour Femme and Valentino, Valentina Poudree (still two of my favorites) then original Hypnotic Poison, all because of the flowers I suppose. It is so powdery and light, while still preserving the dna of Zara, Hypnotic Vanilla / Dior, Hypnotic Poison (lots of almond and heliotrope). The best part though is the dry down: full on clean, powdery and musky cashmeran on vanilla. Very pretty.

All'inizio non riuscivo a cogliere la somiglianza con Hynotic Poison, ma dopo un'ora la magia si è rivelata. Onestamente preferisco questo di Zara al Dior, che ha delle sfumature più audaci all'inizio. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Si tratta di una fragranza sofisticata e femminile, con delle note floreali e vanigliate che lo rendono estremamente elegante.

a sexy, sultry and deep scent. usually i'm not too keen on vanilla perfumes, as they tend to be too sweet to me, but this one is actually really nice. still sometimes too sweet to me, but i love wearing this in winter

It’s a sweet floral vanilla with good longevity (about 7 hours). It’s nice, but it gives me a bit of a headache (too sweet for my liking). I’m not the biggest fan of vanilla perfumes and gladly it is not the most vanilla-y (but it’s still a vanilla perfume). My sister said it smelled like an older lady perfume to her (at first), but I don’t agree with her.

Great notes, great mix. Perfect smell. But no longevity, no sillage sadly. I loved it but no one recognized this perfume when I wore it. If I could find a fragrance that smells the same but with better longevity and sillage, I wouldn't think for a second and would buy it immediately. But until then, I have said goodbye to this one.

You get what you pay for this. Such a boring scent. I kind of impulsively bought this after smelling all of their perfumes while shopping. I don't have Hypnotic Poison so I can't really compare the two... It develops nicely, don't get me wrong! I guess I just don't I like nor fit this scent profile.

Smells just like Vanilla Amber Bourbon from Victoria’s Secret. There’s a heavy cranberry note present with vanilla in the background. Haven’t tested out the silage but it’s lasted on my skin for 2 hrs now. Update: It lasted about 4 hrs on my skin. Not the greatest sillage either.

Smelled this in store and loved it, then went back to smell it again the next day and really did not. Will try one more time for a tiebreaker

To me this is a simple, not very exciting scent. It didn’t last on me more than a few hours.

I was hoping that this one will resemble Dior Hypnotic Poison less, but it doesn't. It has a very similar aroma, and although I am hypnotized by it (which makes the name of both perfumes on point, really :D), I can't wear it. Some people can pull this off perfectly, probably because their skin pH works with such scents great, but some can't and it makes the smell a bit suffocating on such incompatible skins. But if your skin works well with Hypnotic Poison and its smell-alikes, and your budget can't currently afford Dior, this is something you should definitely add to your shelf. It's a bit lighter and fresher than Hypnotic Vanilla OG, so that's a double recommendation if you ask me :D

I had a Dior hypnotic poison (the light red bottle) a few years back and I liked it a lot but it’s extremely beast mode, almost offensive in its projection, for me this Zara one has all the best bits without choking me and everyone around me out. Lasts all day too (I can still smell it 9 hours after spraying) with a moderate overspray, and the price well that makes it’s a complete no brainer! Love this 10/10 !

Was in Zara today, smelling the fragrances and I came across this perfume and it reminded me of one perfume I have/had. It’s floral but the woodiness and sweetness really blend well soo good. It’s intense when u first spray but the dry down really softens. This is perfect to wear in the evenings. Perfect for fall/winter but can be worn on summer evenings.

literally the best thing i have ever smelled, i LOVE the way it smells, god I wish it lasted longer. I really have to overspray to notice it, but otherwise this is one of the most beautiful and edible things i've ever smelled, i would describe this scent as angelic. GET IT.

Is nobody really getting scandal by night from this?? The very moment I tried this in the store I knew I loved this and already owned something very similar. Went home and of course it was my beloved discontinued scandal by night!♥️

I got it as a gift for my birthday, immediately reminded me of hypnotic poison by Dior, maybe more simple? a little fruity with the pear blossom, it's the perfect mysterious, date night, fruity but creamy scent, so good.

Smells just like the OG Hypnotic Vanilla infused with some cherries or better yet Hypntoic Poison and Cherries. But for the love of God, this smells NOTHING like Vanilla Leather by BDK. No correlation whatsoever.

In some ways it's giving me alien by mugler energy maybe because of the cashmere and the florality of both of them but obviously I am not calling it a dupe or anything

all zara perfumes have a weird undertone i can’t get behind. this one is no different. it sounds great in theory but i dont like it...

Zara should have just called this Vanilla Bloom for consistency. All the other fragrances in this vanilla line have two-word names.

It smells very much like the OG Scandal to me, but the honey is replaced with powder. It’s really sweet and juicy!

Hypnotic Poison mi nepřipomíná ani náhodou. Sladká, vanilková vůně s výraznou hruškovou notou.

better than the original hypnotic poison imo. feels like a little bit sweeter though

Zara perfumes have zero longevity.
