Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Valencia Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Damarose Parfum

This is a seriously polarising rose. For some, it's the undisputed Queen of Roses- regal, sophisticated and captivating. For others, it's just a 'nice', overpriced floral reminiscent of supermarket shampoo or baby wipes with truly disappointing performance. Proceed with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Valencia Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

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.

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its blendable floral and woody profile, coupled with varied reports on sillage and longevity - some find it an intimate skin scent, others a powerhouse - makes it fairly versatile. It leans heavily towards social and formal settings due to its elegant character, though its soft nature for some means it won't overwhelm an office.
