Safety Information
For external use only. Spray onto the skin from a short distance, away from the face and eyes, and rinse with clean water if the mist reaches the eyes. Apply after shaving has settled rather than immediately afterwards, as alcohol-based fragrance can sting freshly shaved skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep the bottle upright, away from heat, open flame and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- Freshly shaved or waxed skin, or any broken or irritated area.
- Spraying onto the face, the beard or near the eyes.
- Spraying directly onto tailoring, ties or scarves — a vetiver base is tenacious on fabric and can outlast the garment's next clean.
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to fragrance components such as cinnamal, geraniol, limonene or linalool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a men's fragrance?
Valmont presents it as an eau de toilette for men and women. The juniper and vetiver give it an aromatic, traditionally masculine frame, while the powdery iris softens it enough to be worn by anyone.
What is the 2161 in the name?
It is part of the name Valmont gave the fragrance, an ode to the legend of Casanova, rather than a size or a formula code. The bottle here is the 100 ml eau de toilette.
How is it different from Secret Bamboo?
Secret Bamboo is a light green apple and aquatic scent that stays fresh throughout. Casanova 2161 starts crisp with juniper but dries down smoky and earthy on vetiver, so it is the warmer, more evening-leaning of the two.
When does it wear best?
Cooler weather and evenings suit the vetiver base. In warm weather use a lighter hand — one spray at the neck is enough for the smoke to carry.
Where should I apply it?
Pulse points at the wrists and the base of the neck. Let it dry without rubbing so the juniper opening is not crushed into the base notes.
