What wearers say
“Is it in the same family as V28? Yes! But wouldn't call this a dupe. The opening is harsh synthetic smoky plum followed by vanillic Carmel sugar. The drydown is a woody vanilla. It's a weak scent right out of the box granted it needs maturation. It's oki. The best 1:1 dupe of V28 is Elysia Vanilla hands down.”
“I got a decant of this. For reference I have a lot of V28 dupes and even the OG and unfortunately Vanilla Seduction is not among my top picks. The opening is quite faint.. that or I was going nose blind to it immediately. The vanilla is there on the base and is quite creamy but it's missing that thick syrupy brown sugary note that I like in V28. The projection is so weak, I really have to press my nose to smell it on my arm. It's like a watered down V28. It gets a tiny bit better when you overspray but still, not as great as the other dupes.”
“VERY similar to Eshal, but smoother and no overpowering rose. I think I finally get the hype with this one because Eshal was not it for me.This is perfect for fall winter and cold spring days. Any time you want to smell like dark woods and brown sugar this is the one.”
