Kayali Vanilla 28 perfume oil: scent profile
- Top notes: brown sugar, vanilla, jasmine
- Heart notes: orange blossom, amber
- Base notes: vanilla, musk, tonka
This is warm, sweet and slightly boozy — like caramelized brown sugar over creamy vanilla, with just enough floral and amber to keep it grown-up rather than childish.
How long does it last?
Vanilla and amber are heavy base notes, so this oil wears 8–12 hours and projects sweetly without being cloying. See our longevity guide for tips.
How does it compare to the original?
Our oil captures the addictive brown-sugar-vanilla signature that made Vanilla 28 a sellout. Like all oils it's softer and longer-lasting than the spray, with a gentler opening. This is an inspired-by interpretation, not the branded fragrance.
Who is it for?
Anyone who loves sweet, cozy, dessert-like scents — it's a perfect everyday gourmand and layers beautifully. Also try the candy-sweet Kayali Vanilla Candy or pair it with Tobacco Vanilla via our layering guide.
