Alessandrite I Valmont, that first saw the light of day in 2018, is marketed as a unisex fragrance, rooted in the floral family. Alessandrite I — proudly part of the Storie Veneziane collection. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. Made in Switzerland, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Alessandrite I is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Valmont comes through from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral and Cosmetic without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms High points to a sustained drydown presence. In trail behavior Middle shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a creative conceptual mood: Aldehydes, Bergamot and Jasmine.
The middle and base stages are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Fairy, Citrus, Whiteflower and Floral.
Taken together Alessandrite I sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
