Hi, dolls!
If you follow me on my socials, you have probably noticed that I am currently obsessed with all the Kayali perfumes. As I decided to do more fragrance reviews, I wanted to do separate reviews for all of my Kayali perfumes, so you can find out more about the one you're interested in. In today's review, I will be reviewing my favourite out of the Kayali collection - Kayali Vanilla. If you're interested to find out more about it, let's get right into the review!

Read my other Kayali reviews:
Kayali means my imagination in Arabic and it was created by both Huda and Mona Kattan, who in fact is known as the Perfume Princess. I honestly think that if we're going to trust anyone when it comes to fragrance, it should be Mona. If you follow her on social media, you must know how big her perfume collection is and also, her perfume knowledge. I knew Kayali would be amazing from the start and it definitely didn't disappoint. Kayali's tagline is every layer of me and it actually focuses on layering fragrances to create your own, personal scent.
Top Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Jasmine
Middle Notes: Brown Sugar, Tonka Bean
Base Notes: Patchouli, Amber, Amberwood, Musk
Kayali Vanilla is my favourite scent out of the 5 available. I love the others too (as you can probably tell if you follow me on social media) but Vanilla holds a special place in my heart. I first tried it in the mini bottle version (10ml) which came as a part of the Huda Beauty x Kayali Valentine's Day gift set. Having the mini made me fall in love with the scent so badly that I went and bought the 100ml bottle of this. It's super sweet and I always get so many compliments on the sweetness of this fragrance.
The scent is heavy in a sense that you don't need loads of it to smell it - it is an Eau de Parfum after all. Eau de Parfum has the highest concentration of fragrance - generally having a fragrance concentration of between 15% and 20%. On average, eau de Parfum should last from four to five hours, if not more. This differs from Eau de Toilette which has a fragrance concentration of between 5% and 15%. Eau de Toilette is definitely one of the most popular types of fragrance and it is definitely cheaper than eau de Parfum (in case some of you were wondering why Kayali's price is high) but it will normally only last for two to three hours.
I also have to talk about the bottle of this fragrance - it looks so elegant and classy. I love how beautiful the packaging looks and the diamond cap makes it even more unique. On many occasions you get an expensive fragrance in simple packaging but with Kayali you not only get a high quality of fragrance but also a stunning packaging that makes it even more exciting to have. I appreciate the fact that it's possible to get the Kayali testers before actually making a purchase, although not every shop will have them, because that makes it easier for you to find your perfect scent.
Final Thoughts
I fell in love with Kayali fragrances when I first tried it and I am obsessed ever since. Although all 5 scents are different, I really enjoy all of them. Out of the 5, I think I would probably only pass on the Musk, however if I ever do get it, I will definitely review it. I am excited to see my Kayali collection grow and can't wait for their new releases! I would recommend everyone to check out Kayali fragrances and pick a scent that works for you. I did a little quiz to help you decide which scent you should go for, so enjoy checking it out!

I haven't heard of Kayali before...but it sounds like a wonderful perfume. I love eau de parfums because you don't need a lot, and they last all day. Would love to smell this one, although I like fruity fresh perfumes the best.

Check it out in Sephora and maybe look out on sales coming closer to Xmas! They're truly amazing perfumes, best I've ever tried! xo
DeleteI was waiting for your vanilla review seeing as you keep talking about it on insta. I love the bottle idea of the diamond it looks so pretty and elegant but also not being too much. Im sure the vanilla is such a nice scent - I wish the price wasn't so high up! :(
