- Most users view Vanilla Aura as sharing a similar vibe or inspiration with Vanille Planifolia rather than being a direct 1:1 match.
- Opinions are mixed, with some noting a close opening that dries down sweeter and less refined, while others argue it is not close at all.
- Reviewers generally consider it a good budget-friendly alternative given Guerlain's high retail price, though a few found the scent profile itself unappealing.
Where people agree
“Vanilla Aura actually smells really close in the opening, but it gets a bit sweeter and less refined after drydown. Not a bad dupe for the price though, def worth trying if youre not paying Guerlain prices.”
reddit ↗“vanilla aura smells fantastic it's a new pickup for me and I wouldn't say it's a dupe for a planifolia exactly more so a twist”
reddit ↗“it's almost 1 to 1 with Guerlain Vanille Planifolia.”
reddit ↗“Vanilla Aura smells extremely similar to Vanille Planifolia by Guerlin”
reddit ↗“I have aura and absolutely love it. Maybe it’s a batch issue but it does smell like my Guerlain VP sample - not 1-1 but a good 85%”

Where people disagree
“Knowing the laborious process of hand pollinating each orchid flower, curing process, sweating, drying…all to create a tiny amount of the main ingredient needed for Vanilla Planafolia has me thinking those claiming 1:1 are totally full of 💩”
reddit ↗“Even without comparing to the Guerlain (after I tried it, there was really no comparison even in terms of scent profile), the Vanilla Aura on its own is pretty bad.”
reddit ↗“Aura is gross. It smells like B.O. I’ve never smelled the OG, but I’m guessing Aura is nothing like it.”
reddit ↗“I bought this to compare it to vanille planifolia and it’s not even close - at least to my nose.”
reddit ↗“I have both. Not a 1:1. I don’t like Vanilla Aura. There’s something about it that I don’t like. Maybe the sandalwood? Not as smooth as Vanille Planifolia.”
