Review of Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum by Sarah Chabal

Sweet, vanilla, warm, amber, woody, warm spicy, powdery, musky, patchouli, feminine, chic, classy, sophisticated, sensual, seductive, sexy, glam, luxe, dreamy, enchanting, divine, alluring, tempting, intoxicating, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting This is THE VANILLA🍨 A sexy as hell, deep, glamorous, and luxe vanilla and warm golden amber coated in decadent brown sugar on a rich woody base. It has the perfect balance between being sensual and seductive, and being cozy and comforting. It’s very warm spicy too, which adds to the depth and coziness. I’d even call it a decadent scent. The most prominent notes on are the vanilla orchid, amber, brown sugar, and patchouli. Overall, this is definitely one of the sexiest perfumes that I own along with JPG Classsique Eau de Parfum and YSL Black Opium Le Parfum. Honestly, I feel like this is already a classic! I’m a huge fan of Kayali fragrances in general, and currently own 21 of them. Vanilla 28 was my first, along with Yum Pistachio Gelato and Utopia Vanilla Coco. I blind bought minis of all 3, and once I tried Vanilla 28, I immediately ordered the large bottle! My top 5 favorites are Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, and Yum Pistachio Gelato. I currently have their newest perfume, Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk, on the way, and have high hopes for it! I also really adore the Vacay in a Bottle collection, and really enjoy all 4 during the warmer weather! I also have the Eden collection, with Juicy Apple and Sweet Peach as my favorites! I do own Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli, and for anyone wondering, it’s a deeper, more boozy, and more patchouli forward version of Vanilla 28 which I also enjoy! To me this feels feminine, and like it would easily suit women of any age. This definitely works best during the fall and winter because of its sweetness, richness, depth, and coziness. I think this works for any occasion including fancy and work/school. I get exceptional performance with Vanilla 28. The longevity is excellent, it lasts throughout the entire day on me. The projection is strong, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. I only need a few sprays for this effect, so I do consider this to be a good value. Also, whenever I got my bottles the liquid was already a deep purple brown color. I’ve heard that once it’s this color as opposed to the lighter brown shade that not only does it have better performance, but also had a more rich and deep scent.
