Venetian Stories: With this collection of perfume extracts inspired by Venice’s iconic districts, Sophie Vann Guillon, CEO of Valmont, explores her personal interpretation of the city, its extravagance and power. Laguna Verde I tells her eighth opulent fragrance story. Inspired by the Grand Canal, the majestic scar that simultaneously divides and connects the city, she created a fragrance modeled on Venice: complex and sculptural, with sovereign power. This pulsating ribbon of water, steeped in history and contrasts, becomes living matter, transmuting into olfactory tension.
INGREDIENTS
VIOLET LEAF
Brings a green, intense, crisp, and slightly herbal freshness, opening the composition with energy and vibrancy.

PAPYRUS
An enveloping base note where woody and leathery accents intertwine, lending character and depth to the fragrance’s seductive trail.
A NEW OLFACTORY TRIBUTE TO VENICE
To bring this extraordinary perfume creation to life, Sophie Vann Guillon collaborated with Vincent Ricord, an exceptionally talented perfumer with whom she shares a vision of a free, daring, and deeply intuitive fragrance creation. With Laguna Verde I, they have created an opulent extract shaped like a precious piece of jewelry. Each accord is meticulously crafted, each note part of an extravagant, powerful, and resolutely contemporary composition.
In keeping with the artistic approach of Didier Guillon, President and Artistic Director of the Valmont Group, every detail of the bottle and outer packaging reflects in its materials what the fragrance exudes: sculptural elegance, masterful power, and a captivating presence.
The signature bottle of the Storie Veneziane collection appears like an impressive, gold-clad sculpture, crowned by a mouth-blown Murano glass mask by master glassmaker Leonardo Cimolin. Its deep, vibrant celadon hue evokes the majesty of the turbulent lagoon and the vitality that drives it.
A hand-stitched cover made of Italian saddle leather underscores this distinctive hue. This refined, sensual, and elegant material embodies artisanal excellence and lends the object a tangible and confident dimension.
