Strong contender

The review
Wania scores 7.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Valaya.
Mod Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Valaya's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $45 it costs 85% less than Valaya.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Mod Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Parfums de Marly Valaya is pink pepper, bergamot and aldehydes at first, pear, jasmine and ylang-ylang at its heart and white musk, sandalwood and vanilla at the end. Mod Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
