Ramsh Diva

**update 12/26/25**: i've had this fragrance for a while, the juice is darker and i've since gotten elysia vanilla and vanilla 28 to compare. it's gotten closer to vanilla 28 and smells less like wicked vanilla woods now, but still not an exact dupe (elysia vanilla is closer imo). ramsh diva is sweeter and lighter, and really doesn't have that boozy/smoky edge that vanilla 28 has. i think some might find it more wearable/layerable for that reason, though. as a dupe: i've never owned vanilla 28, but i am familiar with the smell. immediately upon spraying ramsh diva, i can tell this is a vanilla 28 dupe. while i can't confirm with a direct comparison, i feel like the patchouli is stronger in ramsh diva than in the original. i'm not a fan of patchouli so this is a bit off putting, but i mainly smell it with my nose close to my skin vs in the scent bubble + it fades as it dries. **edit: someone above mentioned it smelling like december vanilla/vanilla royale sugared patchouli, i agree! it's very similar to those initially, but luckily the patchouli and booziness calm down pretty quickly because otherwise it'd also be unwearable for me** on its own: while i didn't enjoy this type of scent profile when i first started exploring perfumes, lately i've been gravitating towards less gourmand vanillas and decided to revisit this one. this is a sweet, ambery vanilla with a hint of patchouli in the background to round it all out. it reminds me of wicked vanilla woods from bath and body works, but as a more refined perfume. while i don't think this is a perfectly layerable "vanilla extract" vanilla that some find it to be, i do plan to use this to layer with a lot of my fragrances whenever i want to add not only vanilla but a bit of booziness from the amber. i only received this today, so i hope that over time the vanilla will deepen as well. i'll update my review if there are any changes in the scent or performance. ♥

Day one impressions: Reminds me of how Vanilla 28 smells before it matures. Light, mostly floral, fruity vanilla with a whisper of patchouli. I can detect the potential for this to develop into something that smells very similar, but if you are putting a new bottle of this beside an aged bottle of V28, prepare to be underwhelmed. I’m curious to see how this develops - i have a feeling the fruits will stay and make this a bit prettier and unique, and I’m here for that. The fruity notes read to me as pear, and I can definitely see this developing into something that sits between JPG La Belle and Vanilla 28... for me, that would make this a collection staple. That’s what it’s giving today, the shared half sister of these two scents, but we’ll see. Btw, the presentation alone is worth the buy. The cap is weighted, the bottle a translucent iridescent cream color, and very pretty and sturdy feeling detailing. The box is perfect for presenting as a gift. All in all, this is a solid 8/10 with potential to be a 10/10 once the juice darkens. Edit: the dry down smells very similar to Lancôme La Nuit Tresor blended with V28. It’s also very reminiscent of BBW Wicked Vanilla Woods. I cannot say this is a good alternative at this point. Smells amazing though, and will likely please anyone with only marginal memory of what V28 smells like, unless you’re hoping for more vanilla and less color. I adore V28, therefore the differences are very obvious to me. But I am still very much enjoying this scent. Edit 2: I am almost through this bottle in less than three months. I haven’t emptied a bottle since I started collecting in 2021. It’s less boozy, brown sugar vanilla syrup and more dried and caramelized fruits and sugared vanilla... I ADORE this cousin to the original. Not a dupe, but worthy on its own.

I've waited a long time before getting Ramsh Diva. I'm not a huge fan of Vanilla 28, it's very boozy-like and dark for me, maybe too ambery. Plus I can barely smell it on a testing strip. So I wasn't sure whether getting a cheaper alternative would be a good idea. I was considering Elysia, Eshal Vanilla and this one. I finally decided to buy the fragrance and straight away, it was a win. It's less dark than the original, more wearable, it erased all the things I didn't like in the OG. But it's still properly dark. Just a PERFECT DARK AUTUMN COMFORT VANILLA. I can smell sugar but not burned, just very well done. There's definitely pachuli in the composition but less earthy than in other fragrances, it gives it the dark depth. It's also quite bitter from the tonka, creamy from the vanilla blended with amber. And the fruity notes and jasmine just give it that needed spark. It's a perfected fragrance by Zimaya, great work. I recommend it especially if the original is a little bit off to you. The DNA is definitely there, similarity is about 88% (to me personally better than OG). I see some silly comments complaining about the longevity... Don't get fooled at the start. I've had it macerating for 4 month. The longevity is about 6 hours with a decent sillage. Not a beast mode, but very satisfying. 8.8/10

To me, this is much prettier than the fragrance it is inspired by. If you're into soft, cozy scents with big personality, this vanilla fragrance, might just become your new favorite. It's a beautifully blended perfume that leans sweet—but in a refined and mature way. From first spray, you're greeted with a soft, powdery jasmine wrapped in a creamy vanilla. As it settles, the heart introduces sugar and tonka bean, adding a warm richness, with that gorgeous vanilla still weaving throughout. But what really makes it special to me is the dry-down—amber brings a golden warmth, while a subtle touch of patchouli and musk keeps things grounded, adding just the right amount of depth. It’s sweet, smooth, and comforting without being cloying or overly floral. Just a well-balanced scent that feels incredibly pretty, presenting vanilla as the star, with supporting notes that either enhance its sweetness or ground it with their own quiet strength. In my humble opinion, this fragrance brings all the lovely, sweet, soft, and feminine facets of its inspiration to the forefront, while allowing the musk and patchouli to add quiet strength without overpowering. Another beautifully done creation by Zimaya—I’ve been reaching for it constantly since it arrived.

I love this fragance. When you spray it on, you get this gigantic smack of sweet vanilla which almost completely fades to the background after 5 to 10 min, but then you get this spiceness and dry sexy smokiness, it turns into a nice non intrusive patchouli with spices, amber and a hint of vanilla sort of skinscent. Almost towards something powdery. The initial vanilla bomb in the beginning, really does NOT stick around, so I sort of can understand why a lot of ppl say this scent is weak. It is not though it just completely changes around. If youre hoping for lasting intense vanilla, this is just not it imo. You'll prob be dissapointed, but the patchouli and smoky spices linger for quite some time close to the skin. I dig the plot twist in this perfume. I love perfumes that give you little surprises like this, there are bland straight forward (vanilla) fragances enough to go around. It's a 8.5/10 from me. Awesome. Looking forward to how it will macerate! Will get a back-up bottle fr. Edit: it last about 5 to 6 hours on my skin.

I’m in love... I purchased this a couple of months ago ( and liked it a lot), but I just picked it up for the first time in a few weeks and it has definitely improved since I smelled it last. I now can’t stop smelling myself, I’m completely addicted. I have a decent perfume collection, I love this DNA so I have Vanilla 28 and several others with similar DNA’s including Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Khair Confection, December Vanilla, etc.... I don’t necessarily believe this is trying to dupe Vanilla 28, I think if it were it would be more similar. This is maybe 70%. It may be inspired by, but with a twist. To me Vanilla 28 is just vanilla and patchouli, that is all I get. It is dark and simple to my nose and I love it. However, I get more from Ramsh Diva, it is a bit sweeter and almost fluffy compared to Vanilla 28. I get a hint of fruity notes and florals that I also don’t pick up from Vanilla 28. I find this more addictive, I may even like it more but I believe they are each different, beautiful and worth owning.

I also have FW's Elysia Vanilla, which is apparently a more accurate version of Vanilla 28. Surprisingly, I like this one more. This one lacks that subtle, but recognizable nuance of oudh kind smokiness, which I clearly found in Elysia. This one is airier, brighter and the emphasis stays on the sugar, this is more feminine. There might be something floral too, but the sweet sugariness stays on top anyway .So If you're sensitive to that kind smokey or oudh, I'd recommend choosing this over that one. Still I think, both of these are beautiful, and different enough to get both.

First impressions: So for now, I have mixed feelings about this. I like it but there is also something that doesn't sit well to my nose. It kinda smells like bug spray! You can tell it's inspired by Vanilla 28 but it has "less body". It misses a richness that the Vanilla 28 and the Elysia Vanilla have. This is the first try so I will come back with an update.

I have no clue what these people are talking about below, but this fragrance is far from weak! Every time I wear this I get compliments as it lasts and projects pretty well. Maybe they need to allow it to sit for a bit. It smells very similar to Vanilla 28, but this is less deep and sweeter. A love for sure!

Beautiful sugary gourmand scent!! To me, IMO, this is the stronger sister to Choco Musk. You gourmand peeps know Choco Musk and we appreciate the sweetness and the cheap price. Ramsh Diva costs more but is stronger and louder. I am happy with this fragrance.

What is this liquiddddd??? It's seduction in a bottle. Very sexy vanilla and patchouli. There will be no layering for you my beautiful self standing hot fragrance. Backup worthy kind of perfume. It is a bedroom kind of fragrance, if you know what I mean 🤤😻

Na testovacím papírku je to čisté Angelovské pačuli. Po nastříkání na kůži není pačuli tak výrazné, ale pořád dost vyniká. Ovocná, sladká vanilka s hnědým cukrem a pačuli. Líbí se mi, ale není na ní nic zajímavého.

Update since 02/04/26: This is now very smooth, it's a bit more floral than other V28 inspirations but it's the easiest to wear. It's not 1:1 V28 but it's a good alternative. I would repurchase!

This is nice! I need to let it sit a bit to judge the longevity and appreciate all notes. But first spritzing gave me warm fruity vanilla, very similar to Kayali’s 28.

Sweet, fluffy, airy but at the same time elegant vanilla. I really like it. There is an elevated vibe to it 🤎🤎

Finallyyyyy a Vanilla 28 dupe! I'm obsessed!! I own a travel of v28 as well as the lotion. This is IT!

Yep, i can confirm this is a Vanilla 28 clone, 80% close

A very good dupe for Vanilla 28 by Kayali, 80-85% especially in the air but once side to side, you see how its nowhere near as beautiful. Although this is very good, it lacks the oumph you get from the OG, the depth, richness, sweetness, booze, and the overall quality Kayali provides with Vanilla 28. Ramsh is very linear and one note. It's like the younger (teenage) sister of Vanilla 28 (who is grown, wealthy & established). There are some fragrances that can be cloned and smell fantastic but NOBODY can do Vanilla 28 like KAYALI Does. The OG remains the OG. Mona deserves her accolades!

I just got this, and I love the scent! It’s a cozy, warm, layering type of vanilla to my nose. Unfortunately, right now it’s more of a cozy skin scent, with little projection or sillage. I’m hoping my bottle gets stronger with time like the review below! Would love a beast mode version of this scent!

For me ramsh diva is a stunning sweet yet mature sugar and vanilla scent. The maturity comes from it's background notes of amber, tonka, musk and patchouli giving it a depth. Don't get any fruits however. Perfect sweet yet mature scent.

The dry down is nice. It’s a little floral which makes it a more wearable vanilla. Comparable to vanilla28. I just can’t get past the tacky packaging and the overwhelming alcohol smell when first sprayed. Skip it.

Nice vanilla scent I love it but unfortunately has weak performance, weak longevity and sillage just like the OG version of kayali.

Just spray it on your clothes bc it disappears on skin.

Another Vanilla 28 dupe — a mix of vanilla, brown sugar, and patchouli. It’s great for layering, but on its own I find it a bit boring. After sitting for 2 months or so, it reaches about 90% similarity with the OG. It starts off quite weak, but stick with it as it gets stronger. If you want a beast from day one, go for Eshal Vanilla instead.

I’ll start my review by saying that I understand that everyone’s tastes differ. However, this is so overhyped. I bought this thinking this would be an amazing Vanille 28 dupe because I saw so many influencers say it was. It seriously smells like sulfur shampoo and tonka bean. There is something so off and weird about it. This is maybe a 15% dupe for vanille 28. I know this perfume is cheap but please save your money.

Incredibly WEAK scent, longevity is also not the best, overall the scent is meh... I have Zara Supreme Vanilla that's also supposed to be similar to Vanilla 28, but Supreme Vanilla is so much better, l had high hopes for Ramsh Diva but it's such a flop.... I really don't get all the influencers saying how this is great

I LOVE vanilla 28, and I could wear it every single day. This is similar in the opening but a bit more floral. I would say it’s the spring and summer version of vanilla 28. The dry down is absolutely amazing, on my skin it smells like Joli Coeur from Fiilit, cacao, Tonka and vanilla. I would say don’t get this if you want a very good clone, get Elysia, but get this if you want the vanilla 28 dna with a twist. Very good wear time out of it as well.

I made the mistake of blind buying this hoping for a Vanilla 28 dupe. It isn't on me. I sprayed Ramsh Diva on one arm and Vanilla 28 on the other and compared over 4 hours. Ramsh Diva is far more floral with obvious patchouli. Vanilla 28 is more vanilla which is what I'm looking for. Even after a couple of hours, Ramsh Diva wasn't very vanilla.

I do t understand why people say this is weak, it lasts all day on clothes and until next day when the clothes are in the washing hamper. I’ve had lots of compliments on this at work, shopping and on the tube ! Very pretty, femine but also refined classy vanilla

No, upon first spray, I think not, not a clone. V28 pops me right in the third eye . This one is the light smell of unsophisticated vanilla floating on the breeze out of a bakery window. It is not well blended, although may change on maturation. It’s ok.

Amazing perfume. Lasts 8 hours on the skin without maceration. Roasted vanilla with a little bit of fruit and floral crumb. I didn't expect much from this perfume but it surprised me and I fell in love.

This one got better and stronger with time. When I first got it I thought it was pretty but light it's been 5 months since I got it and it has matured into a smooth and strong sensual fruity fragrance.

It’s an OK scent. Sweet but has VEEEERY weak performance. Outstanding bottle and packaging though.

Why did it take so long for us to get a Vanilla 28 dupe???
