12 Oct Valmont’s newest introductions: La Quintessence & Zafferano
LA QUINTESSENCE
In celebration of it’s 20th anniversary, Valmont’s l’Elixir des Glaciers skincare line gives birth to La Quintessence, a four-week intensive treatment comprised of three rare, skin-subliming products: La Seve des Glaciers, La Source des Glaciers and Le Nectar des Glaciers that are tailored to circadian rhythms according to the principles of chronobiology. Valmont’s scientific prowess combines its most powerful natural ingredients in their purest form to present you with extraordinary textures and lavish formulas with remarkably high concentrations of rare ingredients (69%) that are masterfully combined with state-of-the-art complexes and delivery systems formulated for ultimate sensorial pleasure.
The morning ritual begins with La Sève des Glaciers that empowers the skin with a morning concoction of moisturizing agents for instant radiance before applying a protective day cream. It introduces a new Chrono-Light cocktail, which acts like a veritable dermal light therapy, boosting the skin’s metabolism and repairing UV damage.
In the evening, La Source des Glaciers is a prodigious skin renewal night treatment. During sleep, a new generation triple resurfacing system acts on the surface and the deeper layers of the skin. It includes powerful yet delicate PHAs, the latest innovative biological skin exfoliator which endows the skin with extreme softness.
Next up for the evening ritual is Le Nectar des Glaciers, an incomparable source of moisture, repair and regeneration. For the first time, not only Valmont’s signature DNA and RNA ingredients, but also glacial spring water and a royal jelly peptide are encapsulated in liposomes for precise delivery of ingredients. Working in perfect harmony with the majestic Essence of Bees Complex, they replenish, vitalize and renew the skin.
Limited to 500 pieces each year, La Quintessence is nestled inside a beautiful treasure box, individually numbered and signed by the founders of Valmont. Available October 2021 at select Valmont retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue. Retail price $3,888 USD
ZAFFERANO
Storie Veneziane introduces it’s newest member of the Venetian-inspired fragrance collection, Zafferano, a spicy floriental created by Valmont CEO, Sophie Guillon. A tribute to Venice’s San Polo Marketplace, the start of the spice trade where East meets West, Zafferano reinterprets the opulence, generosity and authenticity unique to the Moorish rites of sharing and camaraderie. The first merchants to arrive in Venice from the East, the Moors made the enveloping and joyful custom of a tea ceremony the centerpiece of the San Polo Marketplace.
Comprised of a warm spicy surge of saffron, the elegant bigaradier flower that marks the composition’s floral heart and oud essence, the noble signature of oriental scents, Zafferano is a shared scent for both men and women that exudes a fiery spirit and joie de vivre! Zafferano’s opulent golden bottle design of deep sienna Murano glass and dark caramel leather cap accentuate the rich variety of sumptuous materials overlapping in multiple textures.
“I wanted to celebrate this abundance of flavors, fragrances and sensations, presented in a spirit of goodwill and authentic fellowship. The sweetness of honey, black tea infused with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger, creamy milk…vibrant symbols of the Karak tea ceremony,” said Sophie Guillon, CEO of Valmont and creator of Storie Veneziane perfumes.
Available October 2021 at lamaisonvalmont.com Retail price $540.
