Valaya Parfums de Marly 2023

When Delina Eau de Parfum became popular, I thought to myself: I absolutely must test the perfume. Unfortunately, we became with Delina no friends, for me too prickly, too penetrating, all too much.

Then came the new Valaya fragrance. According to the description, it is exactly the fragrance I am looking for. A bottling was ordered.
When the bottling came and I first sprayed on the paper strip, I was totally disappointed. It smelled very pungent and artificial and my hope was at an end, the search was for me again failed. I threw away the paper strip.
After an hour, I gave the perfume a second chance and was enchanted by the magical fairy scent.
What smells here so beautiful white flowers, peach, the freshness and lightness? Is it about the fairies waiting for me in the flower garden? That was Valaya.

Sprayed on my skin, I was surprised how how the perfume evolves. There is still the synthetic note that is felt at the very beginning but after a short while it transforms into the 'fresh wash' direction. The florals, peach and tangerine outweigh the synthetics for me. It is a light fragrance, wearable for me in any season during the day.
When I want to have a good mood and a smile on my face, I reach for the bottling.

I would have given the fragrance a full 100 points. The fragrance itself is enchantingly beautiful, not intrusive, the durability in Parfums de Marly fragrances is incredible, they keep a day long if you spray on once a day. Clearly if someone wants to have the fragrance even more intense, re-spray. If here only not the proud price would be...
I will get me Valaya with one eye squeezed (because of the price).

It is worth a second time to test and give the perfume a chance.
