“Valaya’s airy, expensive-skin softness — a spring perfume that feels like fresh linen and a good morning.”
Imran Fazlani's 2024 musky floral for Afnan: white peach opens over orange blossom and peony, settling on a clean musk. Citrus and musky accords lead nearly level, with fruity and powdery facets and a soft sweetness. The fruit stays soft and the musk carries the composition through the drydown. Often compared to Parfums de Marly Valaya. A spring and summer daytime scent.
