Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Vanilla scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Vanilla | 28.
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
Kayali Vanilla | 28 is vanilla orchid and jasmine at first, brown sugar and Tonka Bean at its heart and amber, amberwood and musk at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top

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.
