Where it differs: Swaps cacao and cardamom for candied orange, styrax and benzoin, so it reads brighter yet thicker and more resinous, and it projects harder than the Dior.

Buy Vanilla Diorama ifyou want the cacao-spiced, polished rum vanilla with soft sandalwood.

Where it differs: Follows the same orange, rum, cacao and vanilla list, but owners find it thinner with weaker projection, and the drydown leans plainer and less creamy than Dior's.

Buy Vanilla Diorama ifyou want the richest, creamiest rum-cacao vanilla with strong presence.
Buy Vanille Drama ifyou want the same note outline cheaply and don't mind softer wear.
No. 3
First Love
DUA Fragrances, Extrait, 34 ml

Where it differs: Catches the creamy vanilla and chocolate-like cacao well but comes across slightly spicier, and it settles into a powdery finish sooner than the Dior.

Buy Vanilla Diorama ifyou want the full-size Dior with its boozy rum glow.
Buy First Love ifyou want a concentrated small bottle of creamy cacao vanilla.
