Safety Information
For external use only. Private Mind is an alcohol-based eau de parfum built to stay close to the skin, so two or three sprays at the wrists and the base of the neck, from a hand’s width away, is the intended wear. Keep it off the face and rinse the eyes with clean water if any mist reaches them. Leather and spice accords can feel sharp on reactive skin, so place one spray on the inner arm and leave it a day before wearing it out, and stop using it if the skin becomes red or itchy. Close the bottle after use and keep it upright in a cool, shaded cupboard, away from open flame and out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- The face and eye area, or skin that is broken, freshly shaved or waxed.
- Spraying onto leather bags, suede or gloves, where an alcohol mist can leave a mark — and onto silk or pearls, which it can stain or dull.
- Bare skin heading straight out into strong sunlight.
- Anyone sensitive to eugenol, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal or coumarin, all named on the current pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it smell like?
Valmont places it in the floral leather family: the immediate, woody warmth of saffron, a voluptuous rose at the centre, and the opulent, balsamic richness of leather beneath.
How long does it last and how far does it travel?
Valmont describes a fragrance that envelops the wearer in a veil of mystery and sensuality, so it stays close and rich rather than sharp. Two or three sprays on the wrists and neck are usual for an eau de parfum.
Who does it suit?
Valmont frames it as an exploration of femininity, though leather and saffron give it plenty of edge. It suits anyone who wants a rose that is bold and smoky rather than pretty, and it comes into its own in the evening.
How does it differ from Alessandrite I?
Alessandrite I is an extrait de parfum and a luminous aldehydic floral, lifted by bergamot over jasmine. Private Mind is lighter in concentration but far darker in character, anchoring its rose in saffron and leather.
Where does it sit next to the rest of the Collezione Privata?
It is the deeper of the two Collezione Privata eaux de parfum, both presented in the 3.4 FL. OZ (100 ml) format.
