Everyday meets special and classy, right in the middle
Robert Graham Valour is a classy release, alongside two others from the house, from 2016, an easygoing yet interesting mix of clary sage, coffee, and amber. A little sweet, a little dirty, a little woody. Not too heavy, not too light. It has the vibe of both an everyday scent (for, say, all but the hottest weather) as well as something dressed up and special, and in that respect, it’s highly versatile as a targeted men’s option, though frankly it’s not stereotypically masculine, but rather just more mature-leaning, so I think anyone could wear this. It’s not groundbreaking but has that balance between being comfortably familiar and being intriguing to the point of wanting to continue smelling it. And it performs well overall, not with much projection but good longevity.
I was fortunate to find a 100ml bottle at Marshalls a little over a year ago that I bought blind for $30, but the retail on this is still $90 (for final sale) on the Robert Graham website, so from that, I take that it’s been discontinued. It’s priced even higher on some secondary markets, it seems. At $30 it’s a steal, but it’s useful enough that the retail cost is reasonable, as well. There is also a decanter size on the website, $198 for 250ml, also on final sale.
