How this one ships: Vanilla | 28 is a made-to-order listing. We don't keep this bottle on the shelf: once you order, we pick up a fresh bottle in Regina and hand-decant it for you within 2-3 business days.

The Scent

Madagascan vanilla orchid and jasmine open soft and sweet, then brown sugar and tonka bean settle in at the heart for that warm, dessert-like pull. The base brings amber, amberwood, musk, and patchouli, so it stays layered rather than one-note. It reads cozy rather than candy-sweet, and it layers easily with almost anything else in a fragrance wardrobe.

Worth Knowing

The name isn't random: Kayali's own product page credits 28 rounds of formulation for landing the exact balance of sweet and warm the brand wanted, and the final version kept that number in its name. Gabriela Chelariu is credited as the perfumer.

Where It Came From

Vanilla | 28 launched in 2018 as part of Kayali's original collection and remains one of the brand's cult-favorite releases.

About Kayali

Kayali was founded in 2018 by Mona Kattan, built around the idea of fragrance layering rather than a single signature scent. The name means "my imagination" in Arabic. The brand has grown quickly since, with fragrances sold through Sephora across North America.
