The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2025, Radiant Vanilla by Zara is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. This composition opens with the freshness of pear and freesia, creating a delicate floral-fruity accord that transitions into a warm vanilla heart. The addition of sandalwood and solar notes brings a sun-kissed warmth to the scent, while milk and aldehydic accords lend an enveloping, lactonic quality that feels both comforting and radiant.

How to wear it

Apply Radiant Vanilla in light layers, as it builds subtly on skin. The aldehydic top notes dissipate quickly, so focus on capturing the heart and base notes that emerge after a few minutes.
