Vent Vert

For the life of me, I had no idea what I was into when I blind buy this. The packaging maybe? I love geometrical shaped bottles. My thought when I smelled this? Hmm it’s very Green.. like walking through the valley of rich, fertile mountains filled with all kinds of herbaceous plants, and the dry down after few hours was nice too. Smooth and slightly powdery.. could be the influence from the musk. So in the end, I decided to just buy it as for me this would be a nice contrasting addition to all my florals and gourmand types of fragrance that I have. Side note, I layer this Vent Vert with Estée Lauder’s Private Collection and the smell came out like a gentle bang. Fresh and yet intense. Refreshing and sophisticated! I’m excited to wear this everyday

Personally... without reference to the past versions (I never smelled them)... this is beautiful. I can’t stop smelling it. It is green, floral, and somewhat sweet —almost giving it a slight gourmand feel. Truly, I adore it. I’ve never had anything like it. And it is undeniably a good smell, wafting in the air with a luxurious aura about it. I appreciate some may judge this against the past. But I am thoroughly happy to assess it anew...and I give it a lot of credit in a sea of fragrances that often don’t impress. This feels special. The brand also sells a sample set of the full collection that can be credited toward a bottle purchase.

The original variations, if you haven’t smelled them—are dry, bitter, mossy, green, and a little citrusy. This, on the other hand, is exactly the opposite —it is a fresh, sweet and light white floral musk - slightly watery with a lot of Jasmine. It is quite nice, but you can’t even tell it’s the same fragrance. I wanted to smell the new vent vert bad, and this got me to buy the sample set, so it is good marketing to call this vent vert; italso opens up to new audience not caring about the old fragrance at all. However, I feel a bit taken and I think this should have been called a new fragrance entirely. This is well done and basic — an easy reach for spring or summer. If you don’t already have a bunch of scents like this like I do, or can afford it anyway, pick it up. It will be worn. But if you’re looking to get another vent vert reformulated, look again! I love the bottle.

A luminous green fragrance that opens with a rush of freshly cut grass and mint leaves, touched by a hint of gentle citrus sweetness. Its watery clarity feels like sunlight glinting through morning dew; bright, transparent, and alive. Clean white florals soften the edges, lending purity and calm to the composition. Still, I think it would have been better without the calypsone; as it is, it leans a touch sweetish and synthetic rather than truly aquatic. I’m curious to try the vintage version; I have a feeling it captures the idea far more beautifully. Tag(s): green, dewy, fresh, grassy, minty

Can’t compare to the original, stuff far before my time, a part of me genuinely hates this but also kinda likes it as well. Opens with a harsh overdose of stemone and green notes and even green notes too I hate it so harsh and chemical. Once it reaches its base, a jasmine blooms on a bed of heavy warm musk with an ocean breeze in the background from calypsone its a little old fashioned but uniquely unisex fresh and floral. If the first hour or so wasn’t so unpleasant to me it might’ve been full bottle worthy especially if it had more of a fruity or minty touch but regardless I can tell even without witnessing the vintage bottle that it doesn’t hold a candle.
