Escapade Gourmande Eau de Parfum vs Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.
Vanilla 28 chases Kayali Vanilla 28's rich orchid-brown sugar gourmand signature, landing close on the opening sweetness but flattening into a simpler musk-amber base that lacks the original's creamy, layered depth and fades sooner.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.
