Valiant is a masterpiece of a floral amber, though it's polarising. Many rave about its luxurious blend and exceptional quality, while others find it overpriced and unoriginal, smelling of "grandma's bathroom." Worth a sniff, if only to decide which camp you're in.

Blossom's No. 576 chases Calvin Klein's Obsession Night Woman - the same citrusy white-floral opening over a vanilla-amber base - but plays it flatter and louder. The citrus and white flowers hit fast and a touch sharp, the vanilla-sandalwood drydown arrives sooner and thins out well before the original's slow, cashmere-soft fade.
