The review
Strong contender. That is where Vanilla Aura lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21.
Maison Asrar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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.
