What does KAYALI Vanilla 28 smell like?
Presented as a rich Eau de Parfum, this fragrance is a quintessential member of the Amber Floral family. It offers a sophisticated, gourmand depth that transcends typical sweetness, creating a warm, comforting aura that is both elegant and seductive.
- Top Notes: The fragrance opens with the ethereal grace of Jasmine and the exotic, creamy allure of Madagascan Vanilla Orchid, providing a soft and beckoning floral introduction.
- Middle Notes: At its heart, the scent deepens into a luscious blend of Brazilian Tonka and rich, toasted Brown Sugar, wrapping the wearer in a velvet cloak of caramelized warmth.
- Base Notes: The dry down reveals a sultry foundation of Musk and Amber, grounded by the earthy soul of Patchouli and the resonant strength of Amberwood for a sophisticated, lingering trail.
