Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is a collective mourning for many, with fans clamouring for its return. It's a powdery, dark rose that dances between sweet allure and sophisticated melancholy. A true 'if you know, you know' icon.
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.

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.
