«A sugar cloud of strawberry, marshmallow and peach — soft, childlike, clinging to its owner alone.»
They are sold on one carousel of clips, as if a layering set. The nose disagrees: all they share is vanilla and musk, the rest are strangers. Vanilla 28 is grown, boozy, audible from afar; Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 is a sweet fruity whisper up close. Buy the person you are, not the trio.
Which is louder?

Shared: only vanilla and musk. Vanilla 28 builds on amber, tonka and brown sugar; Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 on marshmallow, strawberry, freesia and praline — impossible to confuse.
Vanilla 28 is from 2018, when Kayali bet on boozy ambered vanilla; Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 from 2024 — already a child of the sugary, TikTok wave.
One niche house, two audiences: Vanilla 28 aims at the grown-up, Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 at the sweet tooth; shared label, different promise.
In search they run neck and neck — the younger Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 has ridden the hype to catch the elder Vanilla 28 almost exactly.
