Sweet Illusion (Into The Gourmand)

To me, this smells exactly like Supreme Vanilla. Tested SV one day and left without purchasing as I wanted to do more research. Kept smelling my arm thinking 'I should have bought it!' Coco Pebz reviewed Sweet Illusion and said that it was the exact same as Supreme Vanilla, but re-bottled!! (IYKYK Coco Pebz knows what she's talking about re: Zara Scents!) Next visit to Zara I noticed Sweet Illusion was on sale so I sprayed Sweet Illusion on my wrist and SV on the top of my hand. Walked around Zara smelling both sides of my hand... THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME. Only Sweet Illusion was on sale and 100ml!!! Grabbed myself a bottle and felt like a winner! Love it so much bought another 2 backups when they went on sale for $17.99 cnd! As for the smell, starts off smelling sort of like uncooked rice with vanilla in the background, that must be the ink note-at first it was weird but didn't take long to grow on me. Dries down to a beautiful smokey and woody sweet, cupcake vanilla. This one is definitely for the Vanilla Girlies! ❤️

To me, this is the best vanilla perfume I've ever smelt. It's incredibly warm and comforting. Sweet, but not overpowering. Like biting into a vanilla cake you've been craving and just hits the spot, more than you know. I always get compliments when I wear this. At work, at the bar, from people working in a shop, they will always ask what I'm wearing. If you're a smart cookie, you know that this is a fantastic perfume to layer with. Fancy smelling of a salty, sea breeze vanilla? Layer it with so...? uniques Marine body mist. Want more vanilla sweetness with some pineapple, layer with so...? Uniques vanilla candy. Want a creamy coconut? Layer with Coco extreme. The list does really go on. It's just that perfect base perfume to layer as your heart desires. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued. I hope Zara brings it back.

This is not an EXACT copy of Supreme Vanilla but it is very close. This is a woody vanilla, it reminds me of Vanilla Woods (just like Supreme Vanilla did) and I even get reminded of COMMODITY Milk Bold too with the woody note with vanilla + tonka. This is well worth the $15 I paid for it (100ml). It gives a small scent bubble. I can smell it on myself but I do overspray it also, which I don't mind at this price. My bottle of Supreme Vanilla was running low and I wanted a back-up so figured I'd try this. Happy to have both in my collection because I love vanillas, and I love woody vanillas. This is more unisex leaning because of the woody facets. It smells more niche than designer.

Smells like horse feed (imo, also a bit of ink in there) on me at first spray, but dries into a really nice sweet vanilla scent, easy to get and affordable. Can't stop smelling it, love it a lot :D Edit I bought a sample of bianco latte and this perfume is a more fruity and ozonic version of it, otherwise similar but definitely not a match compared to what my brain was telling me after first spray lol

@Dominatoarea It is very close to Supreme Vanilla, however SV has a bit more prominent ink accord and has more animalic undertones as well. Sweet Illusion is a bit more vanilla-sugary... SV has better sillage I guess. Hope it helps.
