Recently tried it in the boutique. Sprayed on the test strip, it reminded me of the currently very popular "your skin but better" scents. I was thrilled! A beautiful fragrance that seemed to fit well into everyday life, especially in spring and summer.
I thought, well, why not, I'll spray it on my skin too. At first, during the top notes, I thought, yeah, a nice woody white floral, but after about 10 minutes and forgetting the scent on my wrist, I got into my car and thought: Hmm, what smells so musty here? I had been out all day and thought, phew, I really need to take a shower. Until I finally, oh wonder, found the cause of the unpleasant smell on my wrist: Valaya. My skin seems to react differently to some fragrances from Parfums de Marly than other people's skin, as it had already happened with Delina and unfortunately also after an hour with the beloved Cassili. However, with the other two, it's a bit more bearable than with Valaya, because I really don't want to smell musty. I thought afterwards, okay, I'll wash my wrist, but the scent remained. For days. Due to its incredible longevity, I guess it's because of the Ambrofix. So, if you like the scent, even on the skin, and are looking for a white floral with a woody twist, then Valaya with its amazing performance might be the right choice for you.

Oh, I have the exact same experience. Either something else ended up in my bottle instead of Valaya, or it just doesn't work for me. On my skin, it smells like I dragged a bergamot through a cow barn. I notice it the same way on the test strip and in the air, too. A fresh laundry scent is definitely something different for me.
