The Scoop
ELYSIA Vanilla captures the creamy, gourmand essence of Vanillia 28 with impressive fidelity to the original's sweet vanilla-tonka heart and warm base. The opening and dry-down are nearly identical, though the clone lacks the subtle refinement and complexity of the designer's Madagascar vanilla note, resulting in a slightly more linear scent progression.
Key Differences
The clone performs admirably in longevity and sillage but feels slightly less nuanced in the heart notes, with a more straightforward vanilla presentation compared to the original's layered vanilla complexity. Fragrance World's interpretation is warmer and creamier overall, while Kayali's version maintains slightly better balance and sophistication.

What wearers say
“Solid dupe! The opening of Elysia is a little offputting but the drydown is almost identical. Elysia is stronger and longer lasting. I think it's going to settle into an even closer dupe (will update). I still prefer the Kayali scent; it's more refined and blended. But definitely recommend trying this. I also have the Candy Rock and Pistachio dupes from this line (the VCRS one is spot on).”
“The BEST Vanilla 28 interpretation!I have 4 different V28 dupes and this one is by far the best. It's strong, long lasting and it's extremely similar to the drydown of V28.This is so good that I decided to not repurchase the Kayali one as this one is 1/6 cheaper and performs better.”
“I think I actually prefer this over the original! It is nearly identical to the original but I do think this one has a sweeter scent and the brown sugar note definitely comes through more. I had tested it on each arm and you can barely tell the difference between dry down, I do think the original has a more alcohol opening than this one which is surprising.”
