Valaya Exclusif is praised by the community as a creamy, pleasant fragrance that's more approachable than the original, with users reporting compliments and satisfaction as a signature scent. However, the main criticism is disappointing longevity and projection—lasting only a few hours as a skin scent—which undermines its premium price point and makes it less practical for all-day wear despite its appealing scent profile.

Mugler Alien is a divisive fragrance with a passionate but divided fanbase. While dedicated fans praise its distinctive jasmine character and strong performance, a significant portion of the community finds it overhyped, with the Goddess flanker particularly criticized for having an unpleasant sunscreen-like quality. The fragrance's polarizing nature makes it a risky blind buy despite its iconic status.
