CreamyWhat does Valaya Exclusif smell like?
The top is almond, bergamot and mandarin orange; the heart turns to powdery notes, orange blossom and white blossoms. In the base, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it into a creamy finish, while Ambroxan and Akigalawood® add a synthetic shine.
Voters find longevity strong and sillage good. Most pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads mostly as feminine and modern. Jil Sander Softly and Rasasi Musk-Naqaya have a close profile.
