The Essence Vault Wedding Silk Santal - 2 is an Eau de Parfum. Wedding Silk Santal - 2 opens with Boozy Notes and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Praline. The Essence Vault's Wedding Silk Santal - 2 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

The Essence Vault's No. 2 chases Kayali's viral The Wedding Silk Santal - champagne and black currant over creamy praline and sandalwood. The gourmand shape is there, but the original's blend feels rounder and lasts longer; No. 2 opens loud and sweet, then flattens fast and sits closer to skin within a couple of hours.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

No. 2 is The Essence Vault's take on Kayali's breakout The Wedding Silk Santal, and it leans hard into the sweet, boozy opening that made the original a TikTok favourite - a bright hit of champagne and black currant that reads celebratory rather than subtle. The heart brings a creamy vanilla and jasmine combination that stands in for the original's more layered praline-and-orchid effect, simplified but recognisably in the same gourmand family. Where the dupe struggles is depth: Kayali builds its sandalwood base slowly, letting the creaminess develop over hours, while No. 2's sandalwood-praline-musk base arrives fast and settles into a flatter, less textured warmth. Projection is enthusiastic for the first hour then narrows to a skin scent, and the overall wear time trails the original by a couple of hours. For anyone chasing the Wedding Silk Santal vibe at a fraction of the price, this gets close enough for casual wear, but it won't fool a nose that knows the original well.
