“People with olfactory bulbs not exposed to...East Asian / Arabian musky and earthy smells with a hint of oud like characteristics...may find it strangeIn this day and age..when commenting on how someone may smell..is not considered politically correct..I’ve had several polite compliments on this perfume . This one is certainly a worthy candidate to be put into a daily rotation of perfumes.My recommendation would be to go lightly on the number of sprays...as a small amount goes a long way !”
“I was looking for something to replace the discontinued Valentino V, which was my signature perfume. The opening and mid are very similar, the dry down a little different but still smelling amazing.All in all very happy with this purchase.”
“was looking for a substitute for Valentino V, as it became discontinued. this is much cheaper and similar enough that it was wroth to buy it.In my opinion its not exact maybe smells a little more synthetic then natural to me, but after not having Valentino V in my collection for a long time it was nice to have, worth the money, satisfied purchase.”
