Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Valaya 745 scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Valaya.
Parfumat 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.
At $58 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Valaya — the 5th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.
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 Parfumat 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. Parfumat set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
