KAYALI publishes nine note positions across Vanilla | 28’s opening, heart, and drydown. The percentages below are a reproducible published-note overlap divided by nine, with jasmine/creamy jasmine and generic vanilla/Vanilla infusion or surabsolute treated as related note families. They are not laboratory scent-similarity measurements, and wear time has not been independently verified.
Broadest published overlap: Fragrance World Elysia Vanilla
Elysia publishes vanilla orchid and jasmine over brown sugar and tonka bean, then amber, amberwood, musk, and patchouli. Seven normalized positions overlap with KAYALI’s official pyramid. Independent comparisons often describe the same rich brown-sugar vanilla direction, although current wearer reports differ on the opening and projection.
Drier amber-and-patchouli direction: Gulf Orchid Vanilla Addiction
Vanilla Addiction shares jasmine, tonka bean, vanilla, amber, and patchouli, while adding lavender, coconut, and rose. That supports a related warm vanilla structure with a more aromatic opening. Independent reviews include both very close comparisons and reports of a drier, more amber-forward result.
Sweeter floral-caramel option: Paris Corner Eshal Vanilla
Paris Corner officially lists sugar, jasmine, rose, vanilla, caramel, and musk. Jasmine, vanilla, and musk overlap directly; sugar and caramel echo the sweet gourmand mood, but rose makes the middle more floral. Community comparisons often recognize the Vanilla | 28-style drydown, yet the published note overlap is the lowest of these three.
