Safety Information
For external use only. This is an alcohol-based fragrance: spray from a short distance onto pulse points, never towards the face or eyes, and rinse with clean water on accidental contact with the eyes. If your skin is easily upset, try a small amount on the inner arm first and leave it a day before wearing it more widely. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep the bottle upright, away from heat, open flame and direct sunlight, and store out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- Spraying onto the face, close to the eyes, or onto broken or irritated skin.
- Silk, pearls and other delicate fabrics or porous jewellery, which fragrance can mark — let it dry on the skin before dressing.
- Skin that will be exposed to strong sunlight immediately afterwards.
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to fragrance components such as limonene, linalool, coumarin, eugenol or isoeugenol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it smell like?
Valmont describes an aldehydic floral: the shimmer of aldehydes and zesty bergamot at the opening, over a fruity, sensual jasmine heart.
Is it a classic or a modern scent?
Both, by design. Valmont calls it a classic feminine fragrance reinterpreted for a new age — the aldehyde and jasmine pairing is a couture-era signature, given a brighter citrus lift.
How much should I use?
It is an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated form of a fragrance, so a light spray on the wrists and neck goes a long way and stays on the skin far longer than an eau de toilette would.
Who does it suit?
Anyone who likes bright, floral and slightly powdery perfumes rather than sweet, gourmand or heavily woody ones. It carries well from daytime into the evening.
How does it differ from Laguna Verde I?
Laguna Verde I is a floral woody aromatic built on violet leaf, iris and papyrus — greener and drier. Alessandrite I is the luminous floral of the collection, led by citrus and jasmine.
