Valaya

Valaya by Parfums de Marly is a clean, musky white floral fragrance with a radiant aldehydic opening and a soft, glowing sweetness in the dry down. The scent unfolds like fresh laundry on a spring day—crisp, airy, and faintly sweet, with notes of mandarin, white peach, and orange blossom weaving through a core of musk and vanilla. It is particularly praised for its long-lasting presence, with users noting it can persist for a full 24 hours and remain noticeable even after multiple showers, making it ideal for daytime wear and environments where subtlety is key. The fragrance features a delicate, intimate sillage, projecting moderately in close proximity but not filling a room—ideal for office settings or a personal signature scent. While some find the musk overpowering or the scent too synthetic, others appreciate its refined balance and elegance, noting strong similarities to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's 724 or V&C's Neroli Amara.
