“Strong and super long lasting scent. I made the mistake of spraying this on my skin and usually when other perfumes give out, this one kept going until the next day. After that I didn’t make the same mistake again and only sprayed on my clothes. Notes are masculine and luxurious. It’s rather unique, I’ve never smelled perfume like this before. There is also a lingering scent of powder and vanilla. I’ve never thought I would give this more than a few chances but it surely grew on me.”
“The Valencia scent is the perfect scent for a masculine scent that's bold with sweetness. If you're a fan of Amber and Sandlewood as a STRONG base scent, this one is for you. You literally can smell the amber over all the other notes and it's very attractive (for those who really like Amber). This is a scent you would want your significant other to wear as their everyday scent. It lasts all day long and you do NOT need a lot of it (or even to reapply), good quality parfum! I would argue that one spray is enough for the entire day. It's not too musky (IE: skunky) but also not floral or soft (as in light) scented but it's bold. Valencia is more of a male scent that has some floral middle notes but still masculine (definitely not the typical female scents).Cheers!”
“I absolutely love this Valencia, Eau de Parfum. Soft musks are my favorites! This perfume graces my senses with the sweet light scents of Bergamot, Jasmine, and pink peonies, along with Amber, Sandalwood, and Musk.To me, it's a very alluring and feminine fragrance that's not overpowering, nor understated. There may be a hint of masculinity, but for my nose, it is a more feminine fragrance. It has wonderful sillage, lasting all day long and well into the night.This definitely has my favorite blend of scents for perfumes. I spray it once on my wrists and I can't quit putting them up to my nose to smell it's hypnotic fragrance throughout the day. I absolutely recommend it!”
“Colognes and perfumes are a very hard thing to write reviews on as they are honestly based on each person’s personal preferences. What one person likes another person hates. But normally I’m either on one side or the other. This particular fragrance I am actually on both sides. This is a very bold and overpowering cologne when first sprayed, and I’m talking just one little spritz. When I first apply it, honestly, in my opinion, I’m not a huge fan of it. However as it mellows out a little bit over time I come to enjoy it. This fragrance does last all day long. Your nose tends to adjust to it and starts to get used to it however if you smell your clothes or have someone else that has not been around it and they come up to you it is still quite noticeable. So I’ve personally learned when I want to wear this fragrance to spray it on my shirt a few hours before I plan on wearing it. So what do other people think of it? I’ve had some compliments on it and some people that have told me that they don’t like it. My mom says she hates it. Thanks for being honest mom. Lol. So this is definitely not my go to Cologne every day but I still use it occasionally.”
“This is a nice big bottle of cologne. I work with fragrance so I'm very particular about it. It's a passion shall we say. When we started dating years ago, I got my boyfriend going with a "signature scent". Nothing better than a delicious smelling man, aimiright? This smells very fresh and with a hint of masculine to me. On me it was like a fresh aquatic scent, not good or bad. I prefer unisex scents with a more woodsy gourmand feel so it wasn't really for me.My boyfriend liked it out of the bottle so I told him to give it a shot. He usually wears Varvatos Dark Rebel but I thought it'd be nice to have a change for the summer season. This scent is incredible with his body chemistry. He still smells like him but with a bit of a fresh twist for the season. I can pick up the amber, sandalwood and musk with the lighter notes of lemon, apple and bergamot. I don't detect any floral. That's great because neither of us like floral fragrances. It's not wildly different from his dark rebel but is different enough for me to notice (and really, aren't I the only one who matters? lol) He's also pleased with it. For the price, this is a steal. I'd try other fragrances by this brand.”
“I was quite intrigued about this Swiss Arabian Valencia Unisex perfume so I decided to give it a try. It opened with very nice notes of apple, citrus notes of lemon and bergamot but once it settles, it became more musky and powdery with notes of sandalwood. I never had a unisex perfume and I have to say that it is very interesting how it includes both feminine and masculine scents. I am still slowly getting used to this fragrance but I am liking it more and more. This is getting a solid 4 stars from me.”
“Wow, this is STRONG. Florence is apparently for women but has a unisex vibe. The top notes are very masculine, then fades to vanilla and floral. Every now and then I smell a bit of citrus or powdery notes. The scent waves are pretty crazy!! I love a good perfume, but this one is a bit too strong for me (for daily use). I live with someone who’s sensitive to fragrances, so he had a headache ALL DAY after sampling this on my wrist! Even after washing it off, it lingered.The bottle is GIGANTIC. It’s always risky to order a fragrance this size if you haven’t smelled it before…. But these are high quality scents that don’t come off as cheap!EDITED TO ADD: I just realized what it smells like in the first 5-10 mins… ANGEL! If you’ve ever smelled Angel perfume, it’s extremely unique. This doesn’t smell like that for long, but the top notes are mysterious and sexy! It’s been about 10 mins and now I’m smelling vanilla and something citrus, with a heavy “masculine cologne” scent. Still don’t love it enough….Hope this helps.”
“This is an extra large bottle. While the bottle itself has a somewhat feminine design, the scent is distinctly masculine-coded. Very heavy, very musky, very laden with bottom-notes.Even after dry-down I cannot detect any top or middle notes, but there are incredibly strong notes of musk and sandalwood. While it is not nuanced, it definitely has a presence. It's, maybe, a bit of an older or more traditional scent. I think mature men may like it.Go very light with this. A half a spritz will be more than enough. (And, in this sense, the bottle will last for years if you keep it protected from sunlight).”
