V28

Name: V28 Extrait
Brand: Aromara

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

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
