Vanilla | 28 by Kayali is a rich, amber-heavy vanilla built to feel warm rather than sugary. Vanilla orchid opens it alongside jasmine, soft and slightly floral before the sweetness settles in. Brown sugar and tonka bean deepen the middle, and the base turns properly warm: amber, amberwood, musk and patchouli give it a dense, powdery finish that sits close to the skin. Composed by Gabriela Chelariu, it works for anyone who wants a vanilla that leans grown-up rather than confectionery. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, mostly at night and on quiet evenings in. Longevity leans long-lasting in the community vote, and sillage leans strong too, so a little goes a long way. A 3ml decant gets you through a week of cold nights before you decide on more.
