What matches
Warm vanilla bean with jasmine and amber, the three notes Vanilla 28 is worn for, and the same size bottle.
The trade-off
It goes woody where Kayali goes sugary: bourbon, sandalwood and apple blossom instead of brown sugar and tonka, so it smells drier and less like dessert.
Shade for shade, MIX:BAR Vanilla Bourbon Eau de Parfum is the closest of the 3; the biggest saving is Twist Vanigasm No. 125 Eau de Parfum at $29.25, 88% less per ounce.
Creamy, boozy vanilla with strong sillage and a warm, sweet drydown. A winter signature scent for vanilla lovers.
