    My wife lives this one , it’s soft not to strong for her , if it’s anything like the other exclusive it gonna be heavier and more powerful can’t wait to try it.

  • Katherine Concepcion says:

    Parfums de Marly es sin duda perfumería nicho, por ahora solo he probado Oriana y es toda una presentación y representación de lo que es su marca representa en el mercado; y porque está posicionada en las primeras tendencias de perfumería. Viendo a Steven rociar Valaya Exclusif me deja casi sin aliento porque con solo abrir mi caja de Oriana ya sale todo el aroma e irradia la habitación entera. No puedo esperar a tener la oportunidad de probar este reciente lanzamiento de los que todos ya hablan desde 2024. Quisiera saber a que lugar o sitio me imaginaría esta fragancia porque aunque tienen sus notas a mí por lo general me resulta mejor asociarla con un lugar o destino turístico. Increíble pretentacion, hermosa botella y el olor pues solo por ahora me lo puedo imaginar. Redolessence siempre dando una reseña completa

  • Akemii Cartwright says:

    I enjoyed Steven’s genuine excitement and energy when talking about the fragrance, you can tell he is smelling something absolutely stunning and magnetic.
    As for Yvan Jacqueline’s introduction I thought it was thoughtful and made me imagine how could you make a fragrance that is already alluring and delicate even more sexy and breathtaking.
    I’m really excited to get my nose on Valaya Exclusive.

  • Melinda Gaddy says:

    I am really loving nutty vanilla fragrances lately, so that almond note in combination with the others sound divine!

  • Nicole Theodoropoulos says:

    I’m sooooo excited about this fragrance. Love the mention of irresistible almond in the introduction and Steven describes it beautifully and emphasizes versatility which is key!! I follow Cafleurebon on Instagram (@nikkisniffs) and live in the US!

  • Melissa K says:

    I love soft, woody fragrances and smooth sandalwood. Even better if they have a hint of almond. This sounds like a gorgeous, elegant scent.

  • Teresa Smart says:

    I wait daily for Steven’s reviews, I was introduced to perfumes de Marly by him and his wonderful reviews. He gets me excited about perfumes that I never knew existed. Steven is a 10/10, I bought Valaya but I would love to try the exclusif.

  • Ddelhoyo says:

    Valaya is my favorite perfume! I’ve been waiting for this release. I love how Yvan mentions how this new flanker keeps the sensuality of the og but intensifies it. As always Steven gives a thorough and informative review. I appreciate that he highlights the new creaminess of this version and also mentions that it isn’t as effusive as the original. Can’t wait to smell.

  • Nelly A says:

    I can always count on Steven for a thorough review of new releases and one of the firsts to review! Love that Steven mentions the longevity and robustness better than OG. Jacqueline’s intro point out the sensuality, the sandalwood and almond notes all of which gets me very excited! Following you on IG @Cleoali2017

  • Giuliana says:

    I had mentioned on Steven’s YouTube video that I had been looking forward to this release. His detailed review really helped reignite my excitement for it (I was worried about the almond). Can’t wait to get a sample

  • Carole Robinson says:

    I always enjoy Steven’s reviews as they are so unbiased, informative and descriptive. I’m super excited to get my nose on Valaya Exclusif!

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I have not had the chance to try the original Valaya but I am aware of its clean and musky nature. Rest assured that whenever you see akigalawood on any fragrance, it will last an eternity! The new additional notes almond and sandalwood as described by Yvan Jacqueline is the original with a twist and an increase in the oil concentration. Following on the same path as Delina, this new exclusif version was bound to happen as Valaya has quickly shot up the ranks in terms of popularity and sales. The bottle describes what you’re going to get (as do most PDM fragrances), a clean and musky scent at its heart. I like that Steven mentioned the addition of the almond note doesn’t make it go in a sweet direction but more of a creamy path. Steven has become the announcer of new PDM releases now as I was not aware this was even coming, a truly pleasant surprise to start 2025 on a high note. I’m located in the USA and many thanks to Fine Fragrances Distribution for an amazing giveaway.

  • Sybelle16 says:

    Yvan feels this incarnation of Valaya is intensified by the inclusion of sandalwood and almond to the mix–it makes Valaya Exclusif even more of a magnetic and memorable showstopper. Steve shares that sentiment believing the exclusif version will outshine the original because its longevity, robustness, sensuality and overall, “bigger personality”. For Steve, the sandalwood is the star–even with the original notes of orange blossom and succulent peachiness, still there, the creamy sandalwood and an almond that isn’t boozy, are the standout notes–this strikes a great balance for a year-round wear and is sure to be another hit for the brand.

    I followed on Instagram. Count me twice

  • Brad Jackson says:

    Valaya is the type.of fragrance that is so ethereal and Majestic in the way it wears that you almost forget you are wearing it. Yvan Jacqueline depicting the original as sensual is the perfect analysis. It is quite sensual and captivating so getting a more intense version is so thrilling to me. Steven’s interpretation makes the anticipation for this even more heightened. I follow CaFleureBon on Instagram and obviously Redolessence. I truly would love to own this creation.

  • melkred says:

    Sounds like a nice sent, I have never tried this scent before. Is it comparable to anything else?

  • smellgreat52 says:

    I really enjoyed Steven’s interpretation of the new and exciting Valaya! He describes the new Valaya exclusif in a way that makes me feel confident in making this my next purchase. I love the original Valaya. It is one of the longest lasting perfumes I own.. I am so excited about this exclusif version..I love YVAN JAQUELINE interduction of Valaya exclusif ! Love all the videos and pictures! Somehow you can almost feel and smell the purfume. I also watched a utube video with him being interviewed a few days ago..He mentioned the new Valaya at the end of the video.. Purfume is an art and I love how perfumes can make you feel and take you places! Can’t wait for the new older sister of Valaya!

  • Laura Burke says:

    I instantly needed to know his thoughts on the fragrance when Steven’s video appeared in my feed. I currently own Valaya and every time I spray that fragrance, it reminds me of a beautiful French hotel with crisp white sheets and just a hint of sweetness in the air.
    I can’t wait to try Valaya Exclusif!

  • womaningold says:

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

    Ok, the fact that the Exclusif is more Sensual and has a Almond note, according to Steven… I’m all in. I have the original in my collection and when I say I have a few sprays left…this giveaway came at the right time… I’m crossing my fingers. The notes alone have me in a chokehold and Steven’s description out the icing on the cake.
    I would love to have this New release in my collection. Thank you for the opportunity. I live in Orlando Florida,
    USA.

  • Crystal Polizzi says:

    My favorite part of Steven’s video was where he compares it to the original. I have the original Valaya, and I am a huge fan. I can’t wait to smell this one!

  • Kate Boyd says:

    As a longtime Delina (and others) aficionado, I am very much looking forward to trying this new perfume; so many of the notes are favorites.

  • Dona Grant says:

    I love your straight forward videos. I love Delina but it wasn’t in my budget so I purchased a clone and also bought Liam Grey based on your recommendation!
    I would love to privilege of winning Valaya and owning and enjoying an authentic Parfums de Marly product

  • Sabrina Young says:

    I love the way he describes the fragrance, its as if you can smell it.
    Instagram & Facebook followed!

  • YitzyR says:

    Steven said beautiful like 10 times in the video so that means it MIST BE BEAUTIFUL! Almond, orange blossom and peach sound with some vanilla… he said one of the easier ones to wear and it sounds like if I win my mom would love it as a gift 🙂

  • Ann Vu says:

    Thank you for your fragrances reviews. They’re very helpful to me. It would be wonderful to meet Valaya Exclusif. I love the original, btw.

  • Catherine Cortes says:

    As usual, Steven’s review made me look forward to putting my nose on a bottle and Jacqueline’s introduction checked all the boxes for me. I can’t wait to own a bottle!

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    I would love to get my nose on Valaya Exclusif. The addition of almond and sandalwood sounds perfect, and I would love a stronger concentration. The playfulness of Valaya is amplified here and I’m all for it. I’m a Redolessence subscriber and I follow Cafleurebon on insta. I live in Oregon.

  • Stacey Thorpe says:

    I would love to own this fragrance. I don’t own any DPM fragrances but I have sampled a lot of them and all are amazing. I always enjoy Stevens straight forward and honest reviews.

  • Catherine says:

    As usual, Steven’s review made me look forward to putting my nose on a bottle and Jacqueline’s introduction checked all the boxes for me. I can’t wait to own a bottle!

  • Irma Sifuentes says:

    Thank you for reviewing the new Valaya. I tried it at Nordstrom and I loved it. Your review just confirms my first impression

  • Jenna Shaffer says:

    I have never owned Parfums de Marly but am so looking forward to smelling this and really want to get Oriana on my next fragrance buy. Love your reviews, very informative!

  • Masa Taha says:

    I absolutely enjoyed Steven’s review. As always, his descriptions are detailed yet concise—I could almost smell the perfume through his words. I really appreciate his honesty, though I have to disagree with him; I think Valaya is more versatile than Palatine!

  • Chimera says:

    I love the fact that one of my favourite notes from Valaya is kept in this flanker – the bright and optimistic orange blossom, but Parfums de Marly have decided to make it richer with the added notes of the sweet and cozy almond and the satisfying and sensual sandalwood. I agree with Steven that this will make Valaya Exclusif much creamier and richer. I always notice sandalwood in scents, it just cannot leave me indifferent. The approaching spring makes me eager to experience this perfection in a bottle and I cannot wait to try the more magnetic sister of the Valaya family. Many thanks for the opportunity you give us to win this jewel.

  • Aimee Romero says:

    I appreciate that Yvan specifies the intensification of almond and sandalwood, two beautiful and versatile notes. Steven’s reviews always win in my opinion, not just for the in depth description and his own opinions of the fragrance, but also because he calls out what type of person is most likely to wear and enjoy the fragrance. I also truly appreciate hearing which seasons and climates are suited for a fragrance. I live in a very hot desert climate and have far too many fragrances that are only suited for the very few cold weeks/months I get each year. Thanks for this giveaway activation by the way. I rarely leave comments on YouTube because I don’t feel I have anything to add. The prompts really help!

  • Nicole R says:

    Who doesn’t enjoy Steven’s reviews? We trust his commentary. You know he’s passionate about fragrances.

  • Alejandro says:

    This fragrance line is amazing, we went to Scent Explore this past year and had an amazing time smelling this fragrances.

  • Klowe says:

    I love Stevens reviews because there is something captivating about his voice and the way he describes the fragrance. There is a sense of comfort there when watching his videos, where others can be a bit screechy or off putting, Steven always seems to leave me wanting to come back for more!

  • missann says:

    I was waiting for his review. He gave me just what I needed..and I am glad to be able to be a part of it!. More senusal? ABSOLUTELY!

  • Rajrani says:

    I purchased the OG Valaya two weeks ago and just received it. I have seen the reviews of this new release and I look forward to trying it out.

  • Mimicali says:

    I loveeee the way Steven was able to bring our mind to a world of fantasy. He was able to help us go the counter and smell this fragance without actually being there. He makes someone want to save every penny they have to get this Fragance. I really dream of picking up something like this. However, Yvan made us understand the reason of making an exclusif, this exclusif is the other sister of valaya. It has more spark and confidence, what every woman, mother and individual person would wish to be. I pray I win this magic.

  • Ann says:

    Steven had taken the time to show the presentation and how this exclusive version differs with the initial release plus a short description of the other offerings from Parfums de Marly

  • Maryjean says:

    So excited to smell Valaya Exclusif. Love the original. Jacqueline’s & Steven’s review makes this sound sexier and abit more powerful. The notes are perfect combination. Thank you for this chance USA

  • Daisy Perez says:

    I am a PDM fan!!! I have all 3 Delina sisters. Valaya and Herod in my collection. Now I would live to get Valaya’s sister in my collection.
    I look forward to Steve’s reviews. Love the way he describes fragrances and how he loves perfumes. He sells me on most reviews. I have an endless wishlist and now this one is on top of the list.

  • lynette daman says:

    I love perfumes from this house and I really enjoy Steve’s reviews. I can’t wait to try Valaya Exclucif. I have Delina and Delvin’s Exclicif. I am just beginning to collect niche perfumes. Thank you for your consideration.

  • be_you_til_full says:

    I love everything about Yvan’s introduction from beginning to end. I can imagine this fragrance and actually yearn to have it even more. As far as Stevens review, I love how he makes the comparison of Delina to Delina Exclusif and Valaya to Valaya Exclusif. I know I will love Valaya Exclusif because I absolutely LOVE Valaya.

  • Solange says:

    Steven always does such a great job describing perfume! Steven I love how you gave a detail description of the fragrance note but also describe how it wears. Jacqueline’s description of the fragrance is really enticing.

  • Ariel G says:

    Totally what I was looking for! I gifted a while ago Delina and Oriana and i was looking for a sensual everyday use and this new realize nailed it. Super excited to get my hands in Valaya Exclsif.

  • Scott says:

    Steven’s video description of the fragrance is quite enticing and has made me even more excited to get my nose on this new instant classic. Yvan Jaqueline’s introduction has drawn even more intrigue around this fragrance, making me even more excited about getting my nose of this gem.

  • Anita Spradling says:

    I love watching Stevens reviews and I love powdery facets , orange blossom and citrusy notes in perfume. Very excited about the new exclusive.

  • lifewithlourdes says:

    What a remarkable review! What I loved about it? How thorough it was, the structure and the detail. I have no questions after the review! Not only does Steven’s review tell us everything we need to know about how Valaya Exclusif smells and made me feel as if I were smelling it. He also compares it to original Valaya and other PDM fragrances. As someone who lives in Boston, I so very much appreciate Steven mentioning that Valaya Exclusif could be a year round fragrance for both colder and hotter months. Loved that he mentions when it will be available in retailers which is super helpful to know when we could go sample it in stores. I absolutely adore the passion and energy that Yvan’s intro exudes and he absolutely had me at “stronger and magnetic” when describing Valaya Exclusif. After this review I am keen on binging on Steven’s youtube reviews. I am following @cafleurebonofficial on Instagram, subscribed to Steven’s YouTube page and I follow cafleurebonofficial on Facebook. Really excited to be part of this community!

  • Adriana vallorosi says:

    Always love Steve’s comments! Can’t wait to try Valaya exclusif.
    I’m following on all the social media accounts.
    Went to see if Nordstrom garden state plaza today and they didn’t have it. So sad.
    I want to win!!

  • mbubeck says:

    I love the descriptions that Steven utilizes to bring scents to our nose through the screen! Valaya is my all-time favorite fragrance, so having such a descriptive review has differentiated the sister scents in a way that makes me want the exclusif version as well! I cannot wait to smell the stronger, richer, more sensual version of Valaya!!

  • Crystal says:

    “I love that Steven gave me a clear description of what the distinct differences are between the two Valaya fragrance versions. It really helps me know which one I want to try out!”

  • AromaDulce73 says:

    By the looks it seems like these would lean feminine but you never know these days. Presentations can be deceiving.

    I never smelled the original Valaya. I’m drawn to the almond, sandalwood & vanilla notes. Steven mentions that the Exclusif seems to be more creamier & sweeter which I like to hear. A well rounded fragrance according to Steven.

    Los Angeles Ca. USA

  • Denise says:

    I really enjoy watching Steven’s reviews of women’s fragrances. I have bought decants of Valaya, as a full bottle is outside my budget at this time. I would love to win a bottle of the Exclusif. However, if I don’t, it’s all good, as I will keep watching his reviews of various feminine perfumes on YouTube, as I truly love his presentation and am always curious as to his opinions on ones I am considering blind-buying or obtaining samples of.

  • misfit86 says:

    I am a fan of PDM fragrances and I can not wait to get my nose on this creation.

    Steven eloquently described the fragrance.. I do not own Valaya however I have had the pleasure of experiencing the scent and it is gorgeous.

    Jacqueline‘s description of Valaya Exclusif was also very tempting and does a great job of romanticizing the fragrance. The note of almond and sandalwood makes this fragrance sound dreamy especially when layered on top of the original Valaya DNA.

  • Jackie Rosenfeld says:

    A more robust and sensual Valaya sounds so amazing. Creamy sandalwood must really take this over the top. Yum!

  • Jonathan Phillips says:

    I love PDM fragrances. I would love to smell Valaya Exclusif! Oajan is my favorite. I trust Steven as a reputable source for fragrance review.

  • Maria E Hernandez says:

    I was thinking that the new Valaya Exclusif would be less citrusy and more powdery sweet. I’m still excited about the addition of almonds in the notes, along with sandalwood and vanilla in the base. However, @redolesscence insists it has a citrusy, vibrant profile while still emphasizing the richness of sandalwood. I can’t wait to experience this scent for myself—it would be to be captivating!

  • Phdmaise123 says:

    Love how Steven is so knowledgeable about the perfume brand and oh the specific way he spray and whifs his hand up in the air! Amazing

    I’ve been so excited for this drop but tbh I was worried about the almond note ,but now that you say it’s NOT like that, I can’t wait to get my hands on a sample. Thank you for being so detailed in your reviews and for the giveaway.

  • Wanda Chatnan says:

    I love the way he described this new fragrance. As versatile but stronger and richer. I’ve never had the privilege of smelling the original but I love Dalina Exclusive so I look forward to the one. I love that it’s a year around with the exception of Winter. I am already a fan.

  • opalbear says:

    I’m not a gourmandienne but I do love Iris fragrances…and ironically I think the almond will win me over. I love mandarin and orange blossom and white florals so I think the sweetness and vanilla will be balanced enough for me, only one way to know! I am located in the USA. Thank you for the giveaway.

  • Thebluelotus says:

    One cannot help but appreciate the careful consideration behind each note in this fragrance. Steven’s review illuminates the intentional complexity of the composition. I am going to love every bit of it.

  • fragrancegorlie says:

    I just watched Steven’s review, and I have to say it was so refreshing to hear his take on Valaya exclusif. I love how he really dives deep into each note and makes you feel like you’re experiencing the fragrance with him.
    Yvan Jacqueline’s introduction provides compelling insight into the brand’s creative vision, positioning Valaya Exclusif as more than just another perfume.

  • ScentNScent says:

    The almond note in this fragrance sounds so inviting. Steven’s review captured its creamy and sensual personality so well and Yvan Jacqueline depicting the original as sensual is the perfectly put according to me.

  • Shaeda says:

    I love the original Valaya and i know I will love this one. Any perfume recommended by Redolessence I love ❤️

Thank you Steven for your hard work! Yvan Jacqueline’s introduction was agan perfect and I am even more excited to try this fragrance.

  • Therese Jamora-Garceau says:

    Steven has always been one of my fave fragrance influencers because he’s one of the most intelligent and articulate reviewers out there. He just gets it, all the time. His review of Valaya Exclusif gave me an excellent idea of what the fragrance is all about and what it will smell like. Parfums de Marly managing director Yvan Jacqueline amped up my excitement even more by announcing that Valaya’s exquisite DNA, which I love, will be further enhanced in the Exclusif by sandalwood and almond, two of my favorite notes. So, I would be over the moon to win a bottle. (I’ve also followed CaFleureBon on Instagram.) Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

    Thank you for the detailed review! It’s hard to describe a fragrance that no one else has sniffed yet and yet being so good at it.I am super excited to get my nose on Valaya Exclusif!

  • ianbradleyandrews says:

    The almond and sandalwood sound incredible. Steven does such a good job explaining perfumes. Love to win this!

  • cchahoud says:

    Ahhh I’m so exited for this! I love the original valaya but I’m definitely curious to try a sweeter and more seductive version of it! I love Steven’s review because he really compared the differences between the 2 versions which made me even more interested to try the new one!

  • Sheniqua Martin says:

    I always love how Steven explains the products to where you’re interested in buying it or just getting your nose on it. He always seems so professional about everything and that’s what I love about him. Thank for always sharing with us.

  • Odor Aeternitatis says:

    Yvan’s introduction perfectly described Valaya Exclusif’s essence, and Steven’s review gave it so much life. Kudos to both and thanks for the opportunity.

  • mfrancojr says:

    Need to add this one to my me and my wifes collection! Love Valaya but the way Steven described it as more sensual and the snadlewood, this ones gonna be a hit.

  • MysticalArugula says:

    I love Steven’s channel. He is very thorough without being long winded. Straight to the point with loads of information at the same time. And can’t wait to get my nose on the new PDM fragrance.

  • fragtrail909 says:

    I am so intrigued by Steven’s mention of Valaya Exclusif’s effervescent opening. It sounds like such a luxurious experience! Also Yvan did a very realistic introduction, love it.

  • Fragrance collector says:

    The OG Valaya and Oriana are two of my favorite fragrances. I am so excited to sample valaya exclusif! The combinatio of powdery notes with almonds sounds so interesting. Also the bottle is stunning!!

  • Lophoflora336 says:

    Steven’s breakdown of the fragrance notes was so detailed! Valaya Exclusif sounds like a true work of art. I am going to love the creamy sandalwood base in this.

  • esp34761 says:

    Both Steve & Yvan Jacqueline‘s mention about added notes of sandalwood & almond helped to picture clear image of the exclusive version compare to original. Exclusive sounds to be more versatile without losing that “ Valaya” signature profile. Can’t wait to sample it myself. Thank you for the great review & comparison to original.

  • Perpetual collector says:

    Steven, did a great job with his visual explanation of the fragrance and presentation. Yvan’s introduction made me sit completely up in my chair, the breakdown of the notes…..i would love to win this beautiful creation.USA

  • SeaElle says:

    So i’ve tried all of the Parfum de Marly fragrances, but the OG Valaya has been one my favourite scent belonging to category of soft floral cottony musks and how steven described the exclusif has made me more curious about it. Steven never fails to describe any fragrance, he’s always spot on and i’ve bought many based on his reviews alone, and they’ve always been a hit! The presentation is gorgeous too!!

  • Madden Sinead says:

    Steven’s breakdown of the orange blossom and almond combination was spot on! This fragrance seems like it would be a year round favorite.

  • teetee930 says:

    I can’t wait to smell this new perfume. I liked the OG Valaya but this one sounds amazing! Steven’s review makes it sounds so wonderful. And Yvan’s introduction is always so thoughtful and insightful as always. I know I’m going to love this new version of Valaya since the OG is a little sharp and screechy in the opening for me.

  • Aya says:

    Once you mentioned this is more sensual and creamy compared to the original, I’m in!! Thanks for the review!

  • lillys says:

    Stevens reviews are always so thorough. I love how he explains the projection and the longevity! I’m a really big fan of the og, so I would love to win this. I live in the US.

  • holliesokol says:

    I am buzzing with excitement over Valaya Exclusif. I cannot wait to smell it as I’m a die-hard fan of the original and have a full bottle I constantly reach for. I love that Almond is having a moment as a note because I’m a huge fan of the rich, sensual marzipan expression. To win a bottle of Valaya Exclusif would make my whole year! Thank you for your thorough and timely review – I’ve been so excited to get your thoughts Redolessence!

  • Regis Monkton says:

    I imagine I could like Valaya. I can like fragrances that are bright, sparkly, effervescent, peachy, etc. I’m very interested to try Valaya Exclusif because it sounds like it has a lot of the same qualities as the original, but while having the addition of a prominent sandalwood. I live in the USA.

  • gmhill78 says:

    Steven (Redolessence) in my opinion always has a way of beautifully combining his expertise with genuine care, by showing how fragrances like Valaya can uplift and inspire. Valaya has an elegant blend of citrus, florals, and musk that makes one feel like they’re experiencing a comforting embrace—a reminder of how a scent can brighten our lives. The original was so good and stunning that a flanker had to be born from the success of the original, which we’re all sure the new addition will carry its elegance forward.

  • ForTheLoveofFrag says:

    The see through bottle looks beautiful to begin as seen on Steven’s video and the white box looks pristine. I truly enjoy Steven’s channel. He’s very informative and reviews so many fragrances, that majority of my choices of fragrances are from watching his channel. Fragrances brings me unexplainable joy and just from reading his introduction of this fragrance, it as if I was there while he prepared it and I can actually smell it.

  • Maidenhead says:

    I loved how Steven explained the creamy, sensual nature of Valaya Exclusif. It’s incredible how Yvan reimagined the original so thoughtfully.

  • Daniel Gozzi says:

    Love it, beautiful fragrance. I think this one has a very rich personality. I am a fun of PDM and I think this is probably among the best.

  • Tatiana says:

    I really enjoyed Steven’s YouTube review—it was insightful and well-structured, offering great highlights of the key points. Yvan Jacqueline’s introduction was equally impressive, providing a clear and engaging context that drew me in immediately. Together, they created a comprehensive and enjoyable presentation. Keep up the fantastic work!

  • Tanya says:

    Steven’s YouTube review was top-notch! His energy and attention to detail made it so enjoyable to watch. Yvan Jacqueline’s introduction added a great personal touch that really set the tone. And the giveaway? What an exciting bonus! It’s such a great way to engage the audience and make us feel even more involved. Looking forward to more amazing content like this!

  • Jai Speas says:

    I love the description. Valaya, like Guidance, can be a little abrasive but still a compliment-getter. Sounds like the powdery notes and almond will soften this up a bit but keep the compliments rolling in. Can’t wait!

  • floralreese says:

    Loved how he compared the original with the exclusif and examples of its application in everyday settings. Assuring us that it won’t be an almond bomb helped too lol. I love the OG and can’t wait to smell the exclusif!

  • mmerline says:

    This trend of extrait and parfum concentrations seems to be continuing, though I’ve tried a few EdTs that wear just as long and strong. I appreciate that high concentrations wear closer to the skin and have a ton of staying power. I expect the sandalwood and almond Yvan highlighted in their introduction benefit from the higher proof. Steven repeatedly called Valaya Exclusif “beautiful”—high praise! He also pointed out that it’s longer lasting, “more sensual” and “more robust”, and that the creamy sandalwood is a highlight. More importantly, he pointed out that the base notes don’t overwhelm; the sparkling opening from the opening still comes through. It sounds lovely.

    I’m in the USA. I follow @cafleurebonofficial on Instagram as @mmerline. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Hana says:

    I wanted to love the original Valaya so much however the aldehydes caused migraines for me. I am so excited to sample this Exclusif version with the added almond and powdery notes and removal of the aldehydes! I think this will be the one for me!! I appreciate the review which has me even more excited to get my nose on this!! Would be absolutely amazing to win as I have yet to own a full bottle of PDM due to the price point. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!! Xoxo- Hana

  • Serina King says:

    Yvan’s introduction and Steven’s YouTube review have gotten me so excited to experience this new Parfums De Marly fragrance. I already love the original Valaya, so listening to Steven’s review has me thinking I will love the Exclusif version as well!! Can’t wait!!

  • Claudia Goddard says:

    Steven of Redolesscence gives the most thorough, enthusiastic perfume reviews – they are always so helpful! This PDM Valaya Exclusief sounds fascinating – particularly the addition of an almond note. I can’t wait to sniff this!! Thank you!

  • Annika says:

    Intense sandalwood and almond make for a cosier Valaya. Appreciate Steven’s review mentioning the improved longevity and intensity. MD, USA.

  • Sophia! says:

    I have religiously watched Redolessence reviews on YouTube for a long time. Parfums De Marly is my favorite house – I’ve been longing to try Valaya Exclusif since I heard of its release. I initially found this YouTube channel when I stumbled across the video on how to tell if you have a fake PDM bottle – it was so informative and confirmed I had accidentally purchased a fake, really appreciated that video. Would love how in depth the review goes, if I don’t win the bottle the review sold me to buy one! Cheers!

  • Ruthie says:

    Exclusives by Maison de Marly will always be an other chance to fall in love again with the same
    In a different way… ❤️

  • Lisa Maher says:

    I have always trusted Steven’s reviews and appreciate his honesty as well as his taste in fragrance. I have recently become an avid follower of Parfum de Marly and have delved into the Delina line. My next purchase was going to be the Delina Exclusif, but now I am torn. The Valaya Exclusif sounds exquisite and Yvans introduction to the fragrance really helped to solidify my desire to add this exquisite fragrance to my collection.

  • Marissa M says:

    Steven your reviews always captures the essence of the fragrance and has me absolutely intrigued. Valaya Exclusif sounds exquisite and alluring. Thanks for a great review.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    This is exciting. I didn’t purchase the original, but maybe like Delina I will prefer the exclusif. Love Steven’s excitement about this one. Interesting to hear that this one isn’t as loud and why. He is very excited about the sandalwood……as am I. Yvan also highlighted the sandalwood which is exciting to me. Thanks for the chance. USa.

  • FragranceIsMe says:

    My wife and I love the OG. However, per Steven, this is longer lasting than the original, more sensual, more robust, and it has a rich personality due to the creamy sandalwood in this latest PDM creation. I’m stoked! Looking forward to getting my nose on this one.
