Aromara Valencia is an Extrait de Parfum. Valencia opens with Rose and Saffron, settles into a heart of Oud and Praline, and dries down to a base of Amber, Guaiac Wood, and Vanilla. Aromara's Valencia carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

Valencia mirrors Lancome Oud Bouquet's saffron-rose opening and gourmand oud-praline heart at 35% extrait, offering a plush, sweet oud experience for a fraction of the £195 original. It's a fair, accessible approximation of the original's velvety richness, though it doesn't reach the same depth or longevity as the niche formula.

About

Valencia is Aromara's dupe of Lancome Oud Bouquet, a plush rose-and-oud gourmand. Saffron and rose open with a spicy-floral richness before oud and praline build a sweet, resinous heart. The base carries vanilla, guaiac wood and amber-adjacent copahu balm, giving the sweet, velvety warmth that defines the original's character. Built at 35% extrait, it holds its rich, sweet oud signature through a full day of wear, projecting generously without becoming overwhelming. This is a scent for evenings and special occasions where a plush, gourmand oud fits the mood, offering Oud Bouquet's core rose-oud-praline DNA at under a fifth of the price.
