What wearers say
“The Alyssa Ashley 10€ bottle of "Vanilla" from the 90s smells very similar to this and has a similarly poor longevity.It's a standard intimate boozy vanilla perfume that sits close to the skin, isn't particularly sweet beyond the vanilla and fades quickly into a barely-there skin scent that is pleasant but not different from way cheaper perfumes. I didn't find it floral but it's also barely a gourmand, to be honest it's just a fall-winter skin scent. It's one of the "it's there" ones. It won't offend anyone, it's kind of a standard of what it's trying to be, but it's not doing much else.”
“Smells like cola to me. Maybe Dr. Pepper or something similar, but I honestly don’t mind that. Sprayed it on my wrist and still smelled it even though I was sweating under a magnetic wristband on for 8+ hours. Pretty solid performance compared to most other fragrances I’ve used.”
“I am obsessed with this fragrance. Every winter I get a 50 ml bottle and I finish it right around fall. It's everything I want in a fragrance. Cozy, comforting brown sugar and lots of amber. My dad says that it smells like chocolate probably bc of the brown sugar. Such a compliment getter. Never gonna stop buying it.”

The Bujairami clone may lack the refinement and longevity of the designer version, with a potentially shorter wear time and less prominent sillage. The nuanced interplay between coconut and sandalwood in the original may be simplified in the clone's composition.

The clone emphasizes chocolate and cocoa notes where Vanilla 28 showcases coconut and delicate spice, resulting in a more linear, less complex scent. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but the overall aromatic journey differs noticeably in the mid-notes.

Spanish Vanilla has shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 7-8 hours) and less prominent woody undertones, leaning more heavily on musk for its base rather than the balanced amber-sandalwood of the original. The clone also exhibits slightly less sillage and a more linear performance throughout its wear time.
