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.

The r/fragrance community views Gentle Fluidity Gold as a well-crafted, addictive fragrance with a luxurious marshmallow-like character and excellent balance between sweetness and elegance. While widely praised and recommended for sampling, some find it too feminine or overly sweet for regular rotation, but most agree it's worth experiencing at least in sample form.
