The review

Opaline scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Valaya.

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.

Evidence7.0

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

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. Montagne Parfums set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Heart
