Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Very Valentino EDP
A divisive scent for sure: some find it a clean, elegant floral, while others are reminded of bug spray. If you can still get your hands on it, prepare for a hit of nostalgia.
Statement
Our Verdict - Privé EDP
This is a divisive one. Fans will laud its complex, green-floral artistry, while detractors may find the strong rice and coriander off-putting. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

Season and Occasion Fit

Very Valentino

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, inoffensive nature and moderate sillage make it ideal for office and casual wear, as many reviewers noted. It's less suited for formal events due to its light, airy feel, and definitely not a sport scent.

Privé

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While some find it subtle enough for work, its unique and complex character, coupled with decent longevity, makes it better suited for evenings or special occasions like dates and formal events. The strong spice and rice notes might be too distinctive for a casual setting.
