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.

The community verdict
Vanilla | 28 wraps Vanilla Orchid and Jasmine around Brown sugar and Tonka Bean, then settles into Amber and Musk. Long-lasting and strong projection are the leading reports, though moderate has a sizeable following for each. Its sweet, warm style fits winter nights, with autumn and evenings working too.

The house
More from Kayali
Kayali was founded in Dubai in 2018 by Mona Kattan, and its name is Arabic for "my imagination". The house makes playful, sweet perfumes that treat scent a little like dessert. Marshmallow, whipped cream, tonka bean and brown sugar turn up again and again, lifted by fruit such as raspberry, apple and black currant, with jasmine and musk keeping things soft. Eden Juicy Apple | 01 is the fresh, fruity one, crisp rather than sugary. Vanilla | 28 is warm, ambery vanilla, simple and cosy. Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 is pure fluff, sweet and vanilla-soft with a fruity edge, and Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 is the nutty, gourmand scoop. Olivier Cresp and Gabriela Chelariu are among the perfumers credited on these. Try two side by side: they are easy to wear on their own or together.
