What does Valaya (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters read it as feminine, and some call it modern. It leans towards daytime and leisure wear, and it suits the office as well.

A fresh, citrusy, fruity accord sits on top: bergamot, white peach and Italian mandarin orange. The heart brings orange blossom and Haitian vetiver, with a soft, powdery floral feel. Vanilla and musk in the base sweeten it and close on a creamy note. It shares a close profile with Monkoku Luna Nectar and Prada Candy Kiss.
