What does Valiant smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind and winter getting the fewest votes. Evening and night out are the leading occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it classic or modern.

The top is bergamot, orange, mandarin orange, grapefruit and petitgrain, softened by ylang-ylang. The heart brings orange blossom, cherry blossom, iris, neroli, rose and violet. In the base, vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, amber and tonka bean leave it sweet, woody and spicy-warm.
