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.
Vanille Aura 28 leans into Kayali Vanilla 28's rich, sugary vanilla well, though it loses the slightly boozy, rum-like edge that gives the original its more grown-up character.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A rich, sugary vanilla is a cold-weather comfort scent, best worn once the temperature drops.
Occasions
Cosy and sweet enough for casual wear and relaxed dates, without the polish for formal occasions.
