Dana rarely shies from a bold, one word name, and Valor Perfume backs it up with bergamot, lemon, and pomegranate, a bright citrus fruity rush that feels confident rather than tentative from the very start. Whiskey, cinnamon, and cardamom warm the middle considerably, the whiskey note especially giving this composition real distinction from typical florals nearby. Amber, cashmere musk, and Virginia cedar settle the dry down into rich, comforting depth that lingers for many hours after the spice above has faded.
This spicy fruity Eau De Toilette suits evening wear and cooler months especially well, bold rather than understated about its own considerable warmth. A modest price tag rarely carries this much genuine nerve, proof that courage in fragrance has little to do with what it actually costs.
