What wearers say
“I have the Oct 2025 batch, smells like a generic lavender fragrance with the modern vanilla that most fragrances have. Smells good and has gotten me compliments, but doesn't really move me too much or last/project for too long. I remember trying a friend's 2023 batch and it had much better performance and a more dense smell too.”
“Bought this one blind for a christmas work night out a cpl years ago - i was let down by the longevity and sillage. For such a strong opening, it doesn’t last longer than 30ish minutes. Yellow dream was the same. Also tested the female frag voca viva and it is the same as far as longevity and sillage. I won’t buy another valentino because of this unfortunately. If by chance the maceration has changed things; i will update with details.”
“Like Extradose, but more vanilla forward. Not a heavy scent, easy to wear. Projection/longevity definitely weaker than Extradose, kinda disappointing performance from the scent profile. But smells really good. I got the Extradose as I think it smells similar but with better performance and much more versatile.”

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in projection and longevity but feels thinner in the middle and base, with less prominent leather character. The ambroxan sweetness is comparable, but the overall presence and quality of the aromatic structure doesn't match the designer's balanced composition.

Brings tonka bean, yuzu and saffron to the mix and skips vanilla, lavender and vetiver from the original. Voters say it fades sooner on skin. It sits closer to the skin than the original.
