  • Hey guys! Today I'll be reviewing for you the newest release from Parfums de Marly, Valaya. I've done a full wear test and tried on skin and on clothing, and I'm going to let you know my thoughts on it. This is a long chatty and detailed review.
    Also I'll be sharing with you just some general perfume mentality, where am I now and where am I going with my perfume collection & journey?

    Personally I think hauling a few at a time is better so we can hear your thoughts more thoroughly!!
    So excited to find out what your new Top 10 is!!!🤗

    So happy you are back to feeling passionate about perfume. I have an idea. You can do small haul first impressions and then a few weeks later when you've tested fully, do the same haul again and we can see how your mind changed or stayed the same! I'm way to excited about this but I smell a winning idea here (no pun intended 🤣)

    • @lilajane3
      @lilajane3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agree. A haul follow up review would be great.

    • @thesimplechiclife
      @thesimplechiclife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What I'm doing is instead of hauling soon after receiving, I'm doing the fully testing first - ignoring the urge to share the excitement until I've had them for at least a couple of weeks and worn them a few times. 💗 But I'll still do follow ups in the future and update :)

    If you were to ever collaborate with a company to create a fragrance, I think it should be with Parfums de Marly. "Ilythia" would fit right in with their line. :)

    Personally I now have 3 from the house, and I’ve got them all on sale at a great price (120-160) Safanad is my newest addition but I also have Oriana and Cassili. These three are enough for me and frankly, I love them all so so much. The longevity is pretty good but Safanad blew me away. I have a pretty decent sized collection and I won’t be adding anymore until I finish the bottles I don’t 100% love

    I bought it, tried it few days. really loved it when I smelled it. I sprayed normal amount like 6-7 then smell disappeared after a 2 hours. I had gone back to Nordstrom to buy a fragrance for my husband. The lady at the counter said she smelled the perfume on me. Which at that point I could no longer smell it on me. Anyway went back home sparayed another 10 sprays . Again 2-3 hrs later i no longer smelled it. I asked my daughter to smell it if she can detect it she said she doesn’t smell it. So I returned only because 355 is way to much for just a light perfume. I have fleur narcotic that’s very similar and it last on me and I can smell it on me . I’m gona go and ask for sample and try it on hot days.

    I was really thinking about splurging on something from Parfums de Marly and then I realized the men's fragrances are almost double the size and the same price. Why are women paying more for less?

    • @pwhorselover
      @pwhorselover ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Retail has always done this to women. Until women refuse to buy over a certain limit ( as men do) they will continue to price gouge us.
      I am so disgusted with price gouging in US. I’m trying to make it to my son’s college graduation, but the outrageous price gouging is preventing me from being able to go. The hotel prices have 6 times the normal rate- like $650 per night! It’s truly disgusting.

    Watch Erin Nicole, she didn’t fall in love with it either. If I remember correctly she was sent it free from Parfums de Marly and was trying to find a nice way to say she didn’t like it. I give her credit that she told her true feelings about Valaya and that’s all you can ask for from any influencer.

    I really enjoy Athalia and Safanad and think the scent-longevity-quality ratio justifies the cost at least a little, but besides Delina Exclusif (which just isn’t my vibe!) I haven’t loved much else from PDM, or at least not enough to find it worth the price :(
