Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously divisive fragrance - a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, with some finding it a powdery marvel and others recoiling from an initial "rubbery" or "sweaty grandma" blast. Definitely not a blind buy.
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.
