Love Kayali's Vanilla 28? You'll Love Its Cheaper Vanilla Perfume Dupes Too!

The internet lost its calm over this Zara perfume being a dupe for the Kayali Vanilla 28. Both of these have that sweetness of the vanilla brought by the richness of the tonka bean and sweetness from the sugar, but with hints of woodiness brought by the amber woods in the Kayali Vanilla 28 and cedar woods in the Zara Supreme Vanilla. The only things we miss in the Zara Supreme Vanilla is that certain mellowness brought by the jasmine in the Kayali Vanilla 28. But, other than that, a great alternative with decent sillage and performance for the price you are paying.

The sole reason we are listing The Body Shop Vanilla EDT as a dupe here is because it offers superior warmth and cosiness of the vanilla orchid and tonka similar to Kayali's Vanilla 28. This can be contributed to using the nicer quality of vanilla. However, it lacks the depth and luxury accords that Kayali boasts but nonetheless, a great vanilla perfume for those who favour Kayali's Vanilla 28 just for its vanilla sugariness. 

We like the Moi By Nykaa Delicate Vanilla Perfume as an alternative to Kayali's Vanilla 28 for days we are leaning more towards floral notes. Its great for wearing everyday during summers since it has notes of jasmine and peony combined with vanilla so expect a scent that's heavily floral with a hint of vanilla and freshness enhances by the presence of tangerine, pineapple, and strawberry. Additionally, its not too on your nose so you can easily layer it with other scents to enhance it further. So, all in all, if you find the over sweetness of the Kayali Vanilla 28 to be nauseating, give this one a try for wearing on a daily.

Aqualogica's Refresh & Sun Kissed Vanilla Mist mirrors Kayali Vanilla 28 with its notes of vanilla, tonka, jasmine and amber. It has that essence of sugary sweetness wrapped around deliciate floral and hints of amber to balance that overdose of gourmand. But, since its a mist, the performance is obviously weak in comparison to an EDP and it lacks that sophistication one would buy the Kayali 28 Vanilla for. But its a great buy if you want to smell delicious without spending crazy money.

Plum BodyLovin' Smokin' Vanilla EDP is a spicy vanilla fragrance and is a nice dupe for the Kayali Vanilla 28 sans the creaminess and floral notes. It's not obnoxiously sweet which is great and has a hint of powderiness that cuts off the sweetness well but might bother some since powdery scents are not everyone's cup of tea (and we get it). The reviews for this perfume say that its has great longevity which is another plus. We would suggest purchasing the travel size bottle to give it a try.
