The Scoop
Valencia captures the floral-patchouli DNA of Starry Nights reasonably well, with a comparable amber-musk base and recognizable rose-jasmine heart. However, the citrus top notes feel less refined and the powdery aspects that give Starry Nights its distinctive softness are noticeably absent, making Valencia appear slightly sharper and less nuanced overall.
Key Differences
Valencia lacks the powdery elegance and fruity apple note of the original, resulting in a fresher but less complex composition. Longevity and sillage are also typically lighter compared to Montale's richer formulation.

What wearers say
“I love the other two in this city collection so I just went ahead and bought it, sort of, blind. At opening it's much more masculine than the other two but goes easily into unisex shortly thereafter. Similar beer note initially that does settle down, and absolutely beautiful when it dries down. This is the summer version whereas Casablanca and Florence lean more cozy, sweet and winter-ish. Valencia is less sweet and more fresh. If you love the other two, I'm sure you will like this. Sillage and longevity are as impressive as the others as well, pretty much up to around 12 hours.”
“Bright floral fruit opening. Dried to the ambroxan version of amber and since I over smell that all I'm getting is cleaning chemicals for the dry down. Projects and lasts.”
“Omg. I had a sample of this and went to town, two generous sprays to my neck. I feel like i attempted suicide. This is a good dupe for Starry Night, the perfume i absolutely despise. It is also very close to La Yuqawam Jasmine Wisp, another fume i hated so much that i ended up fighting with the seller i bought it from and later on selling it.Performance on this is absolutely nuclear, and not in a good way. I just tried scrubbing it, achieved zero success. Gross. Nobody should smell like this.”
