What does Valour smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Coffee and clary sage lean on the warmth of amberwood. A sweet, fruity side sits next to a fresh feel, while spicy, woody and resinous accords add an oriental depth, with a faint synthetic edge in the background.

Those who rated it find its longevity and sillage good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative verdict. It is positioned as a masculine scent. David Beckham Bold Instinct and Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men Gold have a close profile.
