FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Vanilla Aura scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21.

Dupes.se lists 3 of the 8 notes in Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21's pyramid — bergamot, vanilla and sandalwood. What it does not list: pink pepper, vanilla absolute, vanilla orchid and tonka bean; and it adds lemon, lily of the valley and caramel of its own.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $57 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
