The review

On paper, Opaline Inspired is a reasonable bet if you want Valaya for less.

Montagne Parfums 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.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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

The original opens on pink pepper, bergamot and aldehydes, turns to pear, jasmine and ylang-ylang, and settles into white musk, sandalwood and vanilla. That is the brief Opaline Inspired is working from.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • bergamot
  • aldehydes

Heart

  • pear
  • jasmine
  • ylang-ylang

Base

  • white musk
  • sandalwood
  • vanilla
A luminous soapy-clean floral musk with pear and jasmine, effortlessly fresh and elegant.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
