Which Should You Buy?
This Alien flanker is a divisive one. Fans love its brighter, creamier take on the original, while critics find it redundant or, worse, downright unpleasant. If you're after a lighter, more citrusy Alien, this might be your jam - but sample first, because not everyone's on board.
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.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Its moderate sillage and 6-8 hour longevity make it versatile, leaning towards casual and date wear. The fresh citrus and bright florals keep it from being too heavy for daytime, with many suggesting it's an office-friendly Alien.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct, luxurious aroma make it best suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its strength and cost generally reserve it for more impactful occasions.
