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.

Libre receives mixed community reception, with particular criticism directed at the Intense version. While some find it versatile and wearable, others describe it as harsh and overpowering, making proper application important for enjoyment.
