Aromara V28 is an Extrait de Parfum. V28 opens with Brown Sugar and Maltol, settles into a heart of Resin, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Aromara's V28 carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

V28 tracks Kayali Vanilla 28's boozy maltol-and-brown-sugar opening and resinous vanilla-tonka heart closely, built at 35% extrait for a rich, all-day gourmand. It's a straightforward, sweet match for the original's dessert-like character, missing some of Kayali's layered complexity but delivering the core vanilla signature convincingly.

About

V28 is Aromara's dupe of Kayali Vanilla 28, a rich, boozy vanilla gourmand. Maltol and brown sugar open with an immediate caramelised sweetness before vanilla, resins and tonka bean build a warm, dessert-like heart. The base settles into amber, musk and cedar, rounding the sweetness out with a soft woody depth. Built at 35% extrait, it holds its sugary warmth for hours and projects generously, matching the indulgent, gourmand mood the original is known for. This is a scent for anyone who wants to smell like warm vanilla and brown sugar without the £95 price tag, best suited to cooler months and evenings where its sweetness can stand out.
