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.

Blanche Bête generates polarized opinions within the community despite its hyped reputation. While some find it to be their favorite fragrance ever and appreciate its unique lactonic creamy profile, others find it repulsive despite loving other lactonic scents, highlighting how subjective fragrance appreciation can be. The fragrance appears to excel for those seeking comforting, milky-coconutty scents but may disappoint lactonic fragrance devotees looking for traditional interpretations.
