Vanilla | 28 Kayali 2018

Kayali was completely unknown to me until September 2020. Until one day in September, a friend who came to visit gave me a sweet little 10 ml bottle. She said the fragrance was too sweet for her and gave it to me. She also didn't want me to try it right away "wait until I'm gone, the scent gives me a headache". Oops, that can only be a terrible perfume! I put the fragrance aside and wasted no more thought on it.

Sunday morning after breakfast, the scent came back to me. It was a cold rainy and stormy morning. So perfect for Vanilla 28 as it would later turn out. I sprayed the scent on my forearm and two seconds later I was paralyzed with bliss. "Oh my god! What is happening right now? I'm in love, but soo really in love with the scent!"

Since that day, I've been wearing Vanilla 28 almost exclusively. Two sprays on my neck and one on my wrist is enough and I was well scented all day. Also my colleagues liked the scent and some always said when entering the lab " today is Locke there. I smell this beautiful vanilla scent."

But 10 ml are not enough just forever! So in mid-October I put out my feelers to get me a big bottle. I found the fragrance only at S , but it was always !!! sold out ! : ((. When I only had about 2 ml left in my bottle I got really nervous! I searched further and found a site "HB", never heard of it. But they had Vanilla | 28 and it was available. They also have shipping and it's neat. I didn't care, sign up and order! Delivery time two weeks, oops. Well, that's just the way it is. After 8 days I get a mail "your package will be delivered tomorrow during the day ". I am very happy!

Next morning: 07.32 o'clock, I just lubricate the Schnitten for my kids as it rings storm. Before the door the DHL package messenger. With outstretched arm and big wide eyes he hands me a package. It comes from Saudi Arabia and big green stickers are on it "dangerous and explosive" are written in big letters. I thank him, close the door and unpack. My Kayali is there! Pure joy! My husband comes and asks who rings so early. I show him my package. He scolds me "where you order again! You're lucky the bomb squad didn't show up." I don't care, I just think. Finally I got my Kayali! In the meantime I have already ordered there several times. Always works great and the nice stickers were no longer on any of the packages on it.

To the fragrance itself I can say, it is for me the most beautiful vanilla I have smelled so far. Cuddly warm, intense, sweet, spicy it surrounds me all day in a pleasant way. The scent starts lightly fruity with beautiful caramelized sugar and then slowly the vanilla comes in giving me such a secure feeling. Tonka bean and patchouli are dosed so that I can perceive them in the background. They support the vanilla and give the fragrance a nice frame. Amber and musk show up for me only after about 8-9 hours, then the scent is just skin deep. Then when I smell my arm I notice a beautiful musk and delicate amber hint. For many people the scent will be too sweet or too simple. It is just a vanilla fragrance, as the name already reveals.
For me, it's a little piece of heaven that has carried me through the cold dark winter days. When I wear Vanilla 28 is me comfortably warm around the heart and the weather is all the same to me. I am really glad that I was made aware of this fragrance by my dear friend.

Sorry for the long text! I love just this fragrance and also wanted to share that it was not so easy for me to get him. Therefore, this "damn I need you"
