First off, I gotta say, Zara’s *killing* it with the dupe thing. Seriously. They’re like the sneaky ninjas of the fragrance world. You can walk in, snag something that smells remarkably close to a high-end perfume, and not break the bank. Supreme Vanilla? Yeah, it’s definitely in that category.
So, what’s it supposed to be a dupe *of*? Well, a lot of people are saying it’s giving *major* Bianco Latte vibes. You know, that super popular, sweet, creamy, kinda gourmand-y scent? The one that everyone and their grandma got obsessed with? Yeah, that one.
Now, is it a *perfect* match? Nah, probably not. Dupes are rarely 100% spot on. But from what I’ve been seeing (and smelling, because I *totally* have a bottle of Supreme Vanilla – don’t judge!), it’s *close*. Like, *really* close. Apparently, Supreme Vanilla has notes of tonka bean, cedarwood, Madagascan vanilla, and pink sugar. Bianco Latte is a bit more straightforward with its caramel and coumarin notes. But the overall impression is similar. It’s warm, sweet, and comforting. Think cozy sweater weather in a bottle.
Personally? I think Supreme Vanilla has a *teeny* bit more of a fresh edge than Bianco Latte. Maybe that cedarwood is peeking through? I dunno, I’m no perfume expert, just a girl who likes smelling good without emptying her wallet. And for £13? Dude, it’s a steal!
You might be thinking, “Okay, cool, but is it *good* good?” And that’s subjective, right? But from the sounds of it, it’s a popular choice. People are getting it as gifts, recommending it to friends… it’s got that “safe blind buy” vibe, you know? Although, maybe test it first if you can. Just in case you’re super sensitive to certain notes.
Honestly, the whole dupe thing is a bit of a gamble sometimes. You might get lucky and find something amazing, or you might end up with a fragrance that smells like watered-down chemicals. But with Supreme Vanilla, the general consensus seems to be positive.
Plus, the fact that Zara’s constantly updating their fragrance collection means there’s always something new to try. And who knows, maybe they’ll come out with an even *better* dupe next season! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
