Is this a dupe of a designer fragrance?

Milton Lloyd fragrances are often compared to designer scents, and Valerie's coffee-orange blossom-vanilla structure echoes popular gourmands. It is its own composition, not an official copy.

It is a parfum de toilette, stronger than an eau de toilette but lighter than a parfum. Two or three sprays is enough for an evening.

Is it good for daytime?

The coffee and patchouli make it heavy for hot days or offices. It works best in cool weather and at night.

Women who like sweet, warm gourmands with a coffee twist. Those who prefer fresh citrus or light florals may find it too rich.

How should I apply it?

Spray twice on the neck and once on the wrists. Avoid rubbing, which dulls the top notes.
