The review
On paper, Vanilla 28 is a strong bet if you want Vanilla | 28 for less.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Vanilla | 28's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Vanilla | 28 — the cheapest of 11 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on vanilla orchid and jasmine, turns to brown sugar and Tonka Bean, and settles into amber, amberwood and musk. That is the brief Vanilla 28 is working from.
Top
- vanilla orchid
- jasmine
Heart
- brown sugar
- Tonka Bean
Base
- amber
- amberwood
- musk
Madagascan vanilla orchid over brown sugar and tonka, the layering vanilla everyone else copies.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
