The Scoop
December Vanilla captures the core vanilla-patchouli DNA of Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli with reasonable fidelity, maintaining the creamy gourmand character with patchouli grounding. However, the clone reads slightly sweeter and less sophisticated, lacking the subtle complexities and sandalwood richness of the original's base, resulting in a more straightforward vanilla-forward interpretation.
Key Differences
The clone is sweeter and more linear, missing some of the original's woody-amber depth and refined vanilla nuance. Longevity and sillage are noticeably lighter in December Vanilla compared to the original's stronger performance.

What wearers say
“This is straight patchouli (perhaps because I cannot stand patchouli and I am very sensitive on this note) at first blast. Patchouli lasts for quite some time, dry down is quite nice creamy vanilla. This is not gourmand, I would say its between gourmand and niche. The quality is there, same as longevity and projection. You can find it now for sales around 30 EUR price range which I think its amazing (even though I do not like the scent :D).”
“spicy aromatic wintery vanilla great for cold winter nights. It smells like christmas but dont worry, you're not gonna smell like a christmas tree or egg nog. its a little more nuanced and refined than that. it just has a bit of those elements in it. reminds me of cozy winter holidays baking sweets in the kitchen and cider is brewing on the stove filling the air with sweet scents. It can get a little too heavy if worn too much, I have to take a break from it every now and then but it is definitely long-lasting and lovely.”
“The dry down smells a lot like Kate Walsh's Boyfriend perfume oil rollerball and the lotion (not the actual perfume). I love Boyfriend, but the oil and lotion smell like a candle to me, and I feel kind of the same about December Vanilla. I don't think it's dark enough to be a dupe for Kayali Vanilla 28 or rich enough to be a dupe for Kayali Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchuli.”
