Valor Eau de Toilette for Men

I've been a fan of Dana Navy since the 90s, so I found out about Valor recently and for 10 bucks off Ebay, really, it doesn't even really count as a "Blind Buy" Keeping the price in mind, it's pretty awesome. I get a solid 6 hours of catching whiffs of myself with it, and at least 10 hours as a "shirt scent ". Always spray 2 on your shirt with this, it does well on clothes It's basically a generic freshie with a little musk. Safe for work since you won't overpower anyone . It's not a "masterpiece " or hidden gem, it kinda fits well with it's military themed name and mission...it's a solid day in day out scent ....it's a bottle of 10 buck smell-good that gets the job done for every day use in places people might be nose sensitive like your job. It's probably something I'd have bought when I was in the Army , ironically, to freshen up Stanky PTs or get another day out of a uniform Use it up, use it as a gym scent, air freshener, "beater frag" etc for 10 bucks just order more. I'll probably always keep a bottle in my collection

With Veterans Day coming up next month, I sampled this at a local drugstore. Amber note is linearly dominant, but softly projects. Valor reminds me a lot of Michael Jordan Legend. Performance is much better with Legend, as is Legend's price per ounce. However, the manufacturer (Dana) says it will donate a portion of each Valor sale to fund care packages sent to our active duty troops. For that reason alone I will buy a couple as gifts to give for this year's holiday season.

Masculine and office-friendly, with a boozy vanilla drydown. This is not niche, but neither is it generic. It's a solid entry in the budget mainstream fragrance market from a nose with a good, relatively unsung track record. Moderate longevity and sillage. At this price point - what's not to love?

For a fragrance priced between $10 and $15, Valor is a great addition to your collection. It has a sweet, boozy scent with moderate longevity and performance, and it smells like a much more expensive fragrance. I'm very pleased to have Valor in my collection and highly recommend giving it a try.

Reminds me of a lighter version of Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur blended with a bit of Eternity for Men, topped with a touch of booze. Not bad.
