Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Aura For Women

A creamy, powdery nod to Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif - velvety almond and soft powder over orange blossom and a smoky-vanilla base. Perfume Parlour gets the cosy 'fresh cotton sheets' feel but lands flatter and sweeter, missing some of the Exclusif's refined density and longevity.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Valaya Exclusif

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it; Valaya Exclusif is a polarising twist on the original. Some find it a smooth, creamy, angelic masterpiece, others a cloying, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
