What they have in common

Almost everything gelatin dessert carries, grape has too: 43 of gelatin dessert's 43 flavor molecules also occur in grape. Among the shared key aromas are ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal) and decanoic acid (soapy, waxy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.

Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Almost all of gelatin dessert's flavor molecules (43 of 43) are also found in grape, but grape has 527 that gelatin dessert lacks. Gelatin dessert gives you part of grape's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
