    came back to update after a few months of wear. very close to a 5 for me, just doesn't quite hit that signature note.

  • Sara PradhanVerified buyer

    had to leave a review because the resemblance is unreal. compared to the original (Kayali Vanilla), the Bitter almond opening is the closest part to my nose. a new signature for me, no doubt.

  • Tina GuerreroVerified buyer

    i was nervous about the comparison to the original (Kayali Vanilla) but it holds up. had my partner smell both side by side and they couldn't tell which was which. wish it lasted a bit longer, but the scent itself is excellent.

  • Madison BrownVerified buyer

    fine for casual days, wouldn't reach for it for special occasions.

  • Russell HillVerified buyer

    skeptical of Amber dupes in general, this one changed my mind. decent everyday wear, just doesn't have that wow factor for me.
