SPIRIT OF VALENCIA

Tried this as a sample and discovered I'm a big fan of florals. Very versatile and easy to wear, any season, place, time and occasion. Unisex but leans a bit feminine, jasmine is very present in the wear but the rest of it is quite dynamic. Starts off zesty and some apple sweetness, dries into the florals and stays there for quite a while, before settling down into the amber and musk with a touch of floras in the background. This is big performer too, will easily last all day on skin and even longer on clothes. Definitely going to be buying a full bottle.

Just got this in today and already in love with it. Definitely get the Layton vibes but also with some Silver Mountain Water mixed in. I'm guessing that's why BR540 is being compared to this because it has a metallic type scent profile, but to me it leans more SMW. Lastly, the dry down smells like blueberry apple pie reminiscent of Prisma Amethyst in a way. Amazing amazing amazing

Honestly Swiss Arabian knocked this one out comes off as a mix of florals mainly that peony and jasmine followed by a wafting sweetness very spring time In a European village style smell imagine a mountain of flowers near you while you stand near a fruit vendor chopping fresh juicy fruit. Sillage and longevity are very good I smell it on clothes all day.

I looooove this, it’s fresh and deep at the same time. Smells like carefree happiness, sunshine and air in a botanical garden. Perfectly unisex for the warmer weather.

Without a doubt, this is the standout fragrance of the entire line. The blend of oud "surprisingly not even listed in the notes" mixed with apple and rich amber creates the impression of a deeply traditional Middle Eastern perfume. In fact, this fragrance feels far more deserving of a name inspired by cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi rather than Valencia. It captures the essence of classic Arabic perfumery beautifully: heavy blended oud, warm amber, spicy floral notes, and that unmistakable rich Middle Eastern character that perfectly suits regional tastes. The scent comes across mature, elegant, and commanding, making it ideal for special occasions and formal gatherings. This is a bold unisex fragrance with strong personality. It is definitely not made for the faint-hearted, especially for those unfamiliar with dense, traditional Middle Eastern oud compositions. Longevity and projection: Both above average. Overall Rating: 8/10
