Our verdict on Red Vanilla: Statement

This Zara 'dupe' of Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle is a polarising little number. Some adore its fruity sweetness, others recoil from its synthetic tartness. If you're after a cheap thrill that might be gone before you've left the house, this is your pick.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet, fruity character makes it generally suitable for casual wear or dates. The weak performance, however, means it's less ideal for formal events where longevity and strong sillage are often desired, and its sweetness makes it less suitable for office or sport.

About

Red Vanilla bursts open with a juicy, tart blackcurrant and pear, a sweet invitation that quickly melts into a creamy heart of praline and vanilla. A hint of powdery iris adds a touch of elegance, while patchouli and tonka bean provide a grounding, soft spiciness to this fruity-sweet concoction.
