Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Valiant
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lily Lumière
A divisive scent for the ages, Lily Lumière is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a classy, clean, versatile masterpiece; for others, it's an overpowering and cloying wash of white florals and sweetness, best avoided.

Season and Occasion Fit

Valiant

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Lily Lumière

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with rich white florals and gourmand sweetness, make it less suitable for office wear where it could be overwhelming. It's much better suited for date nights or more formal events where its elegant, bold character can shine without dominating. Some find it versatile for casual wear due to its perceived 'clean' aspect.
