  I found it at Harrods in October. The girl from Boadicea gifted me 5ml in my own bottle. We all have a Holy Grail, a fragrance you search for and, once found, you stop searching. I found mine in Valiant. I have no words: it’s wonderful, comforting, and precious. It will be my scent for special occasions: romantic dinners, weekends in Europe, or family events. I want it to be my olfactory aurea during the most beautiful moments of my life.

  Inspired by the previous comment, I grabbed a sample on sale. Ideal for those who can’t access certain products or buy blind. I used a drop before a coffee with friends; within an hour, my friend was captivated. My group doesn’t care about perfumery, but the morning turned into a monologue about fragrances. Valiant is bright at first, but at 3-4 hours, it explodes with white flowers, iris, and sandalwood. Though sweet from tonka, it has masterful elegance. Wearable anytime. It doesn’t go unnoticed for being eccentric, but for sparking interest when someone else smells it. The high price guarantees exclusivity, making it a candidate for a signature scent.

  This fragrance needs to be tested in semi-warm or warm weather with a breeze… it’s the most delicious thing I’ve ever smelled, and the quality is worth every penny for its longevity and projection.

  If you want to smell like an older, wealthy woman (like your aunt), keep reading. It opens floral (violet, rose, ylang-ylang) with citrus and a powdery touch over a creamy, vanilla-like sandalwood base. Delicate and polished. Then the citrus fades and the powdery notes (lily-of-the-valley root) rise to the skin. Elegant sweetness, not dense. Moderate projection, unisex but very feminine. Dry down is exquisite on women. Quality is superior to Xerjoff, though the price of $1,200 ($900 today) seems excessive since it doesn’t feel that unique. Still, one of the best from the English house.

  My first Valiant tester arrived after years of dreaming about this potion—10€ a milliliter versus over 1,000€ for the bottle. Do gods or Cleopatra smell like this? The answer is brutal: it smells like ‘Dr. No’. If you want to smell like an older, wealthy woman (think auntie), keep reading. It’s gorgeous but very feminine. After spraying, I thought, ‘I’ve smelled this before!’ It was Xerjoff’s Opera. On skin, there’s barely any difference; on paper, nothing. Verdict: yes, it’s floral and celestial, but is it worth the price? No, especially when you can get Opera for a quarter of the cost. I see it as a fragrance for an elegant bride over 35 or the mother of the bride in a garden.

  Try it first as a decant: it smells like an old-money woman. I’m not talking about cash, but upper-class manners. This scent is exclusive to that group, designed to distinguish them from the ‘new rich’ who wear high-impact perfumes so everyone knows they’re new. It’s a reality, not a critique.
