I don’t like this perfume much. While you can smell the vanilla, the scent doesn’t feel very fresh to me; it’s too old-fashioned for my taste.
Intense and characterful. Its opening is dry, then the vanilla kicks in and dominates for the entire duration of the fragrance. It’s not a sweet, gourmand, or fruity type of vanilla, but rather enveloping. It has something that hasn’t left me indifferent. I thought it would be another vanilla fragrance, but incredibly, it feels very pleasant on the skin. In some way, it’s an empowering perfume with its personality and development. Very good longevity.
The first time I smelled it, it didn’t convince me, but then every time I went to Sephora to test it on my skin, I kept trying until I reached a point where I fell head over heels and had to buy it. I think it’s an ideal vanilla; being ambered makes it a sophisticated perfume rather than a childish one. It’s perfect for layering or wearing on its own, but there’s so much you can do with it. Longevity is what least convinces me; I have more Kayali perfumes, and they all last a maximum of 6 hours.
I’ve had it for over three months, and it has changed a lot since I first opened it. It opens softly, spicy, and slightly balsamic, but immediately you’re hit by a strong, almost identical vanilla extract scent. Even though it’s a sweet aroma, it’s very well balanced by the patchouli and woody undertones. The more it settles, the darker and deeper the vanilla becomes, and I’m here for it. All I get is this rich amber vanilla with a perfect touch of sweetness alongside the subtle spicy opening that fades into the background but keeps everything grounded and adds a touch of maturity. Longevity was a bit poor at first, but it has definitely improved over time. Now I get about 6 hours. I hope it strengthens more with further maceration.
Zara’s Vanilla Supreme is identical and has amazing performance. I recommend it if you don’t want to spend the 130 for the original, since Zara’s costs only 20. It has brutal quality and a 99.9% similarity, if not 100%.
It’s the only perfume where I can actually smell the patchouli, and it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s addictive; I love moving around and smelling myself all the time. For me, it’s totally a winter scent. I detect a spicy note that I absolutely love.
Nothing more to say: it’s perfect for vanilla lovers (like me). It’s a perfect vanilla. It’s true that it doesn’t last long, so I tend to wear a lot of it. I also use it as a base to layer with other vanilla perfumes to boost the scent. But out of all the ones I use, this is the one that flatters me the most.
Before buying it, I tried several vanillas at Sephora, and this was the one I fell in love with. It’s the richest vanilla I’ve tried: dark tones with amber, tonka, and patchouli that make it sexy and not too girly. Without a doubt, you don’t go unnoticed. My only complaint is the longevity of the trail; you have to reapply to keep it as potent as it was at the start.
To me, it smells very similar to Jeanne Arthes’ Boum Vanilla.
I haven’t worn this in ages, and last night everyone was complimenting it—both in the taxi and with people I met. Everyone asked what it was because it smells super sweet, even though I barely noticed it myself. The projection must be brutal.
I bought the mini (10 ml) at Sephora, and honestly, I loved smelling it in the bottle… but it didn’t work on my skin. The scent is tiring; the patchouli note is too strong, and I wouldn’t recommend wearing it alone. The aroma is linear and unsuitable for work—it even gave me a stomach ache. I hope it works for layering instead.
The best thing I’ve ever heard about a perfume—it’s not even the best vanilla, it’s the best perfume. I’m addicted to vanillas, and this is a masterpiece. After Bianco Latte and Zara’s Hypnotic Vanilla, I didn’t think I’d find anything so delicious, sexy, potent, and boozy. It became one of my signatures and dethroned everything else. I own Zara’s Supreme Vanilla, which people say is a dupe, and yes, they’re similar, but the power, the booze, and the sensuality of Vanilla 28 are unmatched. Still, Supreme Vanilla is a good budget option. It’s not a pastry vanilla; it’s for weddings, parties, or dates, though I use it for everything: day, night, cold, or heat.
In short, a boozy vanilla with no real evolution. It’s like a drier version of Angel’s Share. If you’ve never heard the miracle that is Killian, it might work for you, though only in cold weather.
It’s a patchouli-infused vanilla that’s quite addictive. It feels mysterious and somewhat dark, at least to me. I also consider it mature and elegant. It’s not a ‘little girl’ vanilla, but rather for a lady dressed in neutral colors with red lips.
A gorgeous fragrance, one of the best vanillas I’ve ever smelled. It smells like boozy sweet vanilla; using it constantly reminds me of caramel vanilla flan. Very rich aroma, I recommend it for autumn and winter. On my skin, it lasts about 5 hours with moderate sillage.
This is one of the most delicious vanillas I’ve ever encountered. The scent is addictive. It’s sweet, but not a childish sweetness—it’s a sexy, super-feminine sweetness. It’s a shame it doesn’t last long and the sillage is soft, disappearing in 2 hours no matter how many sprays. I found it at Sephora and loved it instantly. But once I held it in my hands, what a letdown. It’s not cheap, I own several from the brand, and none last more than 3 hours. I don’t know if it’s the tropical climate where I live, but I’m not investing more in Kayali; the scents are delicious but they last a breath.
It’s not a baker’s vanilla; on my skin, it turns chocolatey, probably due to the patchouli in the base which adds a dark touch to the dry down. It’s a very beautiful vanilla with an elegant musky facet, but that chocolatey side doesn’t convince me, likely because of my issues with patchouli. Regardless, it’s gorgeous.
I’ll never understand the craze for this brand. Out of everything I’ve tried, none are anything special. From this one, I only get a sweet, artificial, generic vanilla that could easily be confused with something from Zara or a discount store. Maybe a hint of amber. That’s it. There are much better-executed vanilla scents on the market (Burberry Goddess, Dior Addict, The One…). I wouldn’t spend a dime on Vainilla 28.
I thought it would be one of those overhyped perfumes, but it’s not that bad at all—it actually smells amazing. It’s a delicate vanilla, sweet without being cloying, and truly unique.
The first time I applied it, it stung my nose terribly, so I couldn’t really appreciate it properly lol. Just keep your distance or don’t stick your nose in! The opening is pure jasmine that lasts forever, but seconds later the vanilla kicks in, not as gourmand as Bianco Latte. It lasts about 6 hours on my skin; I’ll try the maceration trick. Overall, it’s very pretty and elegant. I recommend it—I haven’t heard anything like it, and I’m dying to try more Kayali scents.
One of the best vanillas I’ve ever smelled. I’d describe it as a dark vanilla, not tiring but super addictive. The tonka bean and brown sugar are very present alongside the vanilla. It’s not lactonic or creamy, but when applied, it reminds you of vanilla ice cream or pure extract; the notes are authentic, zero fakes. It gives mysterious and sweet vibes, it’s simply addictive. I tried it in-store and the longevity and projection were incredible, but after buying it, despite being well-macerated, it doesn’t have the same projection. Maybe you need to apply more. It’s expensive and hard to find, but it’s worth it. It’s ideal as a signature fragrance if you like vanilla scents: versatile for day and night, but zero summer scent because it’s gourmand. They say some smell it like rum or whiskey, but I don’t notice it. Some find it too sweet, others consider it a definitive 10, especially the male audience. 100% deserves its spot, but if you’re looking for something light or mature, it’s not for you. It’s sweet, not childish or boring, it’s in a perfect middle ground.
Is vanilla with us?
I tried it on paper and on skin, and it’s exquisite. Between the opening and the dry down, I didn’t notice many changes, but I fell in love. It’s not cheap, but even the 10ml version, I’ll buy it. It’s sweet but not overwhelming; I’d use it for a fresh afternoon, night, or cold day because I don’t think it’ll last much in the heat. Update: I already have the 10ml and I’m in love, it’s the richest vanilla I’ve ever smelled. The only thing I wish is that it projected more; I can barely perceive it. I’ll let it macerate for a few months since they say it improves with time.
Very worthy, a well-executed vanilla, similar to a natural extract in a bottle, warm with slightly sweetened tonka bean, very natural. Those who like vanilla should try it: it’s a mature, dense, and nocturnal aroma, ideal for cold climates. It’s not loud; the sillage is personal after a while. Scent 8/10, Sillage 7/10, Longevity 8/10.
I tried a sample and I’m in love. Dark vanilla, slightly resinous at the start reminiscent of rum or vodka with caramel. Once dry, it’s pure, sugary vanilla extract. A must.
One of my favorite vanillas, by far ahead of The 7 Virtues. Sweet without being cloying, dark and creamy. Very long-lasting (through the shower on skin, weeks on clothes) with a brutal sillage that leaves a trail wherever you go. It’s a compliment magnet. On my skin, over time, it settles into vanilla with toasted caramel or burnt sugar. Without a doubt, it’s one of the few I’ll repurchase. I see it more for winter or cold climates, and more feminine than masculine.
I bought it blind expecting an ‘extract of vanilla’ based on the name and marketing, but it’s something totally different: dark and sensual. The patchouli is very noticeable (a note I don’t usually like), but that makes it more of a night or winter scent. It’s mature; I wouldn’t recommend it for a teenager looking for something sweet. However, it’s still delicious and mysterious.
As others say, it’s dark, earthy, and potent vanilla. I feel brown sugar dominates the vanilla sweetness, while jasmine and patchouli take away the creaminess it might otherwise have. I’m not a huge Kayali fan, but their scents are usually pleasant at first; VANILLA 28 is the exception. Don’t buy blind: I bought a set and that way I avoided spending over €100 on something that didn’t work for me. If you like distinct, potent, patchouli-infused vanillas, you’ll like it. Many use it for layering. The longevity is among the best of the brand. A decent perfume that should be loved, though in my case it wasn’t.
Smells like vanilla, but not cheap dessert: it’s sensual and deep, perfect for winter or autumn nights. The key is maceration; I let it sit for a year, and even then, at first, it’s too much for me, but dry it’s pure magic. The longevity is incredible and it compliments you, though I didn’t understand the hype until I tried it for real.
If you like dark, gourmand vanillas, this is your house. Sweet, warm, and cozy without being cloying, with a spicy kick at the start that gives way to caramel and toasted brown sugar. The tonka bean and vanilla seal the deal. It lasts through the shower on skin and even after washing clothes; the sillage is huge and never goes unnoticed. Total compliment getter. Feminine on me, but divine on a guy, especially for layering with oud.
Disappointed with this fragrance, because what I smell most is the brown sugar note, which is poor to my nose: very sweet but zero attractive. I expected more vanilla, but the other notes dominate. It certainly shouldn’t be called Vanilla 28. It doesn’t last, doesn’t project, and for a layering scent, it’s expensive when there are better options. If you thought it would be a delicious, creamy vanilla bomb, it’s not… skip it.
It’s a very rich and different vanilla: not youthful or sugary, but sensual and mature, a bit gourmand but not childish. On my skin, it smells like vanilla with amber, a bit of caramel, and jasmine (which I don’t like). If it didn’t have jasmine, it would be perfect; fortunately, it disappears in 15 minutes to leave a delicious vanilla extract scent with patchouli and amber.
If you have the Montblanc Signature, do yourself a favor and try blending these two.
I’m coming to leave an unnecessary review because there are already many good ones… but I’m simply in love with this fragrance that takes me back to my childhood and teenage years. In my city, there’s a lagoon called Nainari where they sell rapados de rompope with lots of milk; it smells exactly like that, something I hadn’t smelled in years. It’s a wonderful vanilla, sweet but not gourmand, rather elegant thanks to the amber. It’s so addictive with the brown sugar and jasmine. I think both men and women can wear it, as I don’t consider it totally feminine. Personally, I like using it to blend with other perfumes because it adds a plus and enhances them. Maybe it’s because I’m remembering a time when my siblings and I were carefree. For me, it’s a 10.
I like the fragrance, but on my skin it doesn’t smell much and it doesn’t last on clothes either, so I wouldn’t buy it again. I think it’s overpriced for what you get. Maybe I’ll try another one from the brand.
It smells exactly like Mercedes Black, but MB is more unisex and potent, while 28 is the same formula with a pinch of sugar or a candy note added.
My favorite fragrance of all time: sweet but not cloying. I’ve received countless compliments from friends, family, and teachers. At first, it smells floral, sweet, and elegant, with vanilla orchid and a touch of jasmine, but after 20 minutes it turns completely sweet, with prominent brown sugar and tonka bean. The base is a sweet, sensual blend of amber and patchouli. 10/10 and, although it’s pricey, it’s worth every penny.
After reading the reviews, I thought it wouldn’t be a cloying vanilla and decided to try it, since gourmands can sometimes feel heavy to me. What a hit. At first, I notice the brown sugar, but the flowers and musk give it a clean, soapy touch. The vanilla is dark and elegant, lingering at the bottom with patchouli; I don’t notice it until a few minutes later or in warm rooms. I don’t sense a vanilla extract, but I understand it’s a staple for blending, especially because the musk balances everything. I love how the notes interact and I’m dying to experiment. I’m satisfied because it’s the dark, mature vanilla I was looking for, perfect for someone who prefers woody and unisex scents.
For the price, it’s not worth it, and I think the same goes for all of Kayali’s scents. It has no sillage and sticks right to the skin. I guess that’s the intention, but it has zero intensity and longevity. If you want something noticeable when you walk by, buy Eshal Vanilla: it costs three times less and projects much more.
Bought it blind in a 15 ml bottle, and honestly, it smells like pickled green olive to me, so it’s already over for me. If you can ignore that, it should be called Sugar 28: I loved it, it’s sweet and sexy with an amber base. The vanilla lingers at the bottom; it smells like brown sugar with a powdery texture and an amber dry-down.
