Lush Vanilla

Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar dupe. It is less bubblegummy, more pear, and lasts around 4-5 hours on my skin. It's a great dupe, but I think the Paris Corner Khair Confection is the better dupe out of the two. It lasts longer and the marshmallow/bubblegum is stronger. It is not a dupe of JPG La Belle. I have it and Le Parfume. It smells nothing like it. I think a lot of people associate anything marshmallow/whipped cream mixed with pear to La Belle because it was the first ever super popular gourmand pear perfume out there. But the two are very different and a complete different vibe. Lush Vanilla (VCRS) is more youthful, playful, sweet scent. La Belle is a more elegant/sophisticated, mysterious pear.

This is lovely, but disclaimer: La Belle is one of my favourite perfumes, plus I’ve had Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Sultry Pear and Khair Confection. This is my ideal scent profile. VCRS is a copy of La Belle, essentially, but opens with more bubblegum. Sultry Pear pre-dates VCRS but smells kind of in the middle of everything. Khair is a copy of VCRS and does a decent job. I’d say this is a really close dupe to La Belle but with 20% of the strength and length. VCRS and Khair also don’t last very long. I’d say that if you love this scent profile, get La Belle or La Belle Le Parfum - they last longer (although not a lifetime). This is a ok deal for ~£15. It lasts about an hour on me and it’s very quiet.

Quite a sharp, alcoholic opening but once it dries down it smells like a hug in bottle. The name quite sums up the fragrance description. It’s a beautiful , luscious vanilla. It lasts a decent amount of time on both skin and clothes when over sprayed. An easy all round wear for any occasion. Zara really ate here! Edit: I came across a few comments suggesting that this smells like JPG La Belle, I’m not getting that. This one is a bit more softer and la belle is bold. Love them both though.

A great pick up from Zara, a perfume by Jerome Epinette. Pairs well with Captivating vanilla which they sell in a companion box, but lush vanilla is my preferred one of the two Sweet and teetering the line on being too synthetic but never quite gets there and does an amazing job of keeping its mystery.

This is very much a VCRS dupe. Smells pretty similar but VCRS is brighter and fruitier and bubblegummier. There’s an interesting stank in drydown that reminds me of summer.

It smells exactly the same as my JPG la belle. I love it

this is a really nice, fruity and sweet perfume. its kinda what i wanted from jimmy choo's i want choo. sweet, sexy but playful peach and vanilla scent. the kiwi in the opening adds a freshness that balances out the sweetness. i actually purchased this, wanting to switch up my signature vanilla perfume from hypnotic vanilla. but still, as i left the store, the scent became too strong for me. i think its the patchouli, which i am always wary of. i ended up returning it an hour later and getting another bottle of hypnotic vanilla, since i consider that one better suited for the colder weather. that shit is heaven sent, genuinely no other vanilla compares. this one was pretty close tho. overall, really sweet, good for those not-too-hot summer days where you want to smell deliciously sweet

They just re-released this in 80 ml bottle and I bought it from their website since I missed the 60 ml version. Sorry to say the new version in 80 ml is weaker and has less lasting power than the 60 ml. Still really good but not the same IMO. Would love to hear from others that also bought the new version if they feel similar.

I like this Way better than khair confection. Its a better dupe, and it is a much smoother and sweeter blend!

This is a sweet vanillin coumarin that is *almost* too synthetic for me. A layering perfume for that reason. There is a bright, almost solar opening that is apparently kiwi fruit. I think Zara always does the most synthetic version of the accord/note/fruity thing. They always smell like aliens from space with rudimentary olfactory senses are making a smell based on watching a kiwi on tv. Anyhow, the cinnamon is definitely in there and smells super yum and a little bit reminiscent of those amber with cinnamon fragrances ladies wore in my childhood, but this is not that. This is an okay, middle-of-the-road synthetic vanilla that I kind of wish I hadn't bought, and certainly don't need. I am sure lots of people will think it smells like a My Little Pony's butt. It will go on my oops shelf.

The initial smell is quite nice, caramel, fruits, cinnamon and vanilla give warm and cosy feeling. Sadly, longevity on my skin is weak, so I can't appreciate Lush Vanilla for long. Also it's not smelling for me like Khair Confection or Sultry Pear, I think Sultry Pear is the best from those three.

Smells like candy. Better as a layer in my opinion

Another beautiful steal from the 3 vanillas done by Jérôme Epinette (Captivating, Lush and Radiant) that are all marked down to clearance already. The opening is peach dominant and reminds me of Peach's Revenge and is slightly screechy also like Peach's Revenge but it really softens and smoothes out as it progresses. The development is great and the dry down is a divine mix of vanilla and patchouli. I did 2 sprays on each forearm and it had pronounced sillage and lasted 10 hours or more...kind of a beast. The U.S. Zara website is OOS but if you Google you can find the link to the product on their website still and click on CHECK IN-STORE AVAILABILITY in the lower right corner (it's not even a button...just text) and see if it's at any stores in your area. The website has been accurate for me at times but I lucked out and found all 3 at my local Zara last weekend even though their website just showed 1 of them in stock.

The dry down smells like vanilla 28 with mango!!! Soooo juicy and sweet. Brown sugar and a very syrupy, sweet peach are what I get most. If I didn’t know the notes I would have guessed mango. Starts off super juicy and syrupy and leans much more into the dark vanilla in the dry down, projects really well and could work year round. Its like a juicy tropical fruit version of vanilla 28.

I don't know about la Belle, never smelt that. But to me this smells like another Jpg frag, Scandal. Love it

And I like this more than la Belle! I love dry down of this, but can’t say the same on la Belle.
