Which Should You Buy?
This one's a delicate wallflower. CH L'Eau is a beautiful, fresh and elegant scent that whispers rather than shouts. Just be ready for it to disappear faster than a free round at the pub.
Valencia is an absolute beast mode fragrance. It's wildly divisive, with people either loving its unique, powerful aura or finding it utterly repulsive and headache-inducing. Approach with caution and a light hand, as this scent is not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, light character and generally poor longevity make it perfect for close-quarters like the office, or casual day wear where reapplication is easy. It's too subdued for formal events but its freshness could work for light sport if you don't mind it fading fast.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance regarding sillage and longevity, Valencia is best reserved for situations where its intensity won't overwhelm. It's too potent for the office or sport, but could make a statement on a date or for casual wear, though some find it too 'masculine' or 'chemical' for general social settings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Citrus, Powdery, White Floral accords and Sandalwood, Bergamot notes
