Vento di Fiori

As stated by Cheramy back in 2014, the notes list currently on this page is for a different Bois 1920 scent, Come la Luna and not this scent, Vento di Fiori. Incidentally, I just checked and the notes list on here for Come la Luna is actually the notes list for this scent. Useful. Bois 1920 website states that the notes for Vento di Fiori are: Top: Sicilian Mandarin, Sicilian Sweet Orange Heart: Rose Wood, Pink Pepper, Coriander Dry down: Indonesian Patchouly, Amber, Incense This list makes much more sense for what I am sniffing! and the same for Luna. Info correct at 6/10/15

Classic Bois 1920 play of having scents in the vein of the great classics, here, Terre Excellent rendition in this case! Very close to Red Vetiver from Montale. Also, not sure why it is listed as a female fragrance here as it is way more masculine as TDH is or at least unisex.

Oh this is interesting. I don't consider this to be fully feminine fragrance, I think a man could rock this very easily as this is so strong on the citrus/oakmoss side. "Vento di Fiori" is such a strong perfume, it's not feminine at all, for one I didn't get any flowers. It opened with loads of birch and oakmoss, also a very strong note of citruses. On the background I felt spices and smoky patchouli giving this a very warm, smoky undertone. This is definetly not a classic chypre, but you got to love oakmoss to appreciate it. As for me, I find this to be a bit too citrusy for my scent, but I bet some of you will enjoy this very much. As I've recently tried few other from Bois 1920 that did dissapoint me, I can luckily say that this didn't dissapoint me at all. It has a perfect balance, really good silage and a very decant staying power (more than 7 strong hours full with oakmoss). Try this if you search for a strong oakmoss dominated perfume. "Vento di Fiori" is something inbetween a classic oakmoss and a modern one. Was fun to test.

It is so much like Terre de Hermes that I don't know why anybody would want to spend that extra money to get Venti di Fiori instead (and TdH is not the cheapest of fragrances to begin with). Having said that, I really really like it. It combines the brightness of the citrus with an earthy spiciness and ambery warmth. Beautifully done, but all in all more of a masculine scent as others have pointed out before.

Really like Vento di Fiori. As a bonus the gold Bois 1920 bottle is beautiful. VdF is a nice blend of dry woods and vetiver with damp citrus and moss. Projection is mild to moderate and it lasts most of the day. A calming, unisex, work-safe scent that still has some personality. VdF is verrry similar to Terre d'Hermes, so I'd say if you have one it's likely you won't need the other.

It does resemble Hermes TDH in several ways. It's a vetiver and citrus scent with woods. I don't get any of the floral notes in which others have at all. Totally likeable as an all around scent but no need to get a bottle if you have TDH.

All my favorite aspects of TDH but with the flinty/"mineral" notes turned down. A winner for sure if you can find it discounted.

#1125 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Why in 2008 Bois 1920 launched two identical scents in identical bottles under different names, "Vento di Fiori" and "Come la Luna", is a bit puzzling. But that's what they did. If you have one you have the other. Smooth woody-spicy citrus, but indifferent performance like most citrus scents. Doesn't even make it to lunch. Basically an EDT. Unisex, car pool, elevator and small office safe. Fine for evening wear any weather. Definitely a nice scent while it lasts. But for the guys, Givenchy "Gentlemen Only Intense" has all the same notes, plus tonka and leather, so a touch more masculine. Get that.

Got myself a big bottle today. I had this on my radar for a long time and finally could get a reasonable offer. While overall I am an oriental scent type the chypres also have a big place in my heart. Oriental is sexy but chypre is a challenge. Vento di Fiori (Wind of flowers) is a totally misleading name for this wonderful scent as there are no, no, no flowers involved at all. Why on earth was it named like this ? I would rather have called this perfume "Forest wind" or "Forest rain". VdF is earthy, herbal, woodsy and unsweet to the core. Masculine but not butch. No animalic notes, just earthy nature captured after the rain. Something of that sort is mentioned in the small note that you receive with the bottle. A summer rain in the forest, leaving the ground damp and rays of sunlight flooding in through holes in the branches. That is such a nice concept and really nicely done. Earthy notes of patchouly are there but I could not find the patchouli as a singularly detectable note. It ́s there but also not there. Sounds strange ? Maybe it is but as I am used to heavy-dosed patch I am rather astounded about this great concoction. VdF is a stunner on the right man but also will transform a woman into a fighting amazon warrioress. VdF will give you confidence (or, more of it as you already need some to wear this in the first place) and the strength for whatever your aim is. A woman that wears such a chypre knows what she wants and what to do. VdF is for those who adore "Azuree" as in my opinion they have a similar DNA. An underestimated beauty that might go out of production, I am afraid...a sales assistant mentioned something of that sort to me. This scent is not the classical crowd pleaser, no panty-dropper and not even a typical unisex niche fragrance but it is a masterpiece and I ́d be sad to see it gone from the market. Longevity : medium on me but that ́s OK. I prefer scents that will not stay after a shower. Sillage : medium, not overpowering if dosed correctly.

Having both Vento di Fiori and Come la Luna, I can attest that these are not, in fact, the same fragrance launched under two different names. Come la Luna is the chypre; Vento di Fiori is the woody citrus. Though they share some ingredients, including real evernia oakmoss, they are not the same. Notably, Come la Luna is all green galbanum, warm spice, and an oakmoss base sweetened by amber. Vento di Fiori is much more hesperidic, with a heart of rosewood and a biting patchouli oakmoss base. One gives the sensation of opulence (Come la Luna the plush chypre) and the other restraint (Vento di Fiori the cold incense). I love them both. Gender-wise, Come la Luna can be worn by a man but I get the feeling it's meant for females who love a classic green chypre. Vento di Fiori is the opposite--can be worn by gals but it's scent profile is much more masculine than la Luna. They are both wonderful fragrances & both come in stunning gold leaf bottles.

Vento di Fiori Bois 1920 reminds me Terre D'Hermes. I can not imagine a woman in perfume very similar to Terre D'Hermes !!!! It would be strange, uncomfortable and not nice to hear from the beloved woman the fragrance reminiscent of familiar men wearing Hermes, and they are so many !!! I do not mind, that some women wore men's fragrances: sometimes it turns out so harmonious and interesting, that nobody ever suspects, but only admires this fact. But the flavor Terre D'Hermes so much recognizable and petrified in our minds as an pure male perfume !!! I also think that the longevity of Vento di Fiori Bois 1920 is average, and the sillage is also not pleased ((

(I am utterly surprised to se patchouli listed as a note. I don't smell it ANYWERE in this perfume) It's a wee bit similar to Terre d'Hermes, I get the drift... the hermes hay undertone+citrus+pepper... something like that here too. Much more similar to Hugo Boss Red though, minus the burnt plastic note. It's a citrus-aromatic centered on red sicilian oranges and herbal notes that smell bitter-sweet much like wildflowers and drying grass. Plus coriander and a bit of pepper.. It's a pleasent perfume, but I wished the sicilian orange note was stronger. Very easy on the skin, might I add... A nice creation, quality stuff.

Ok so it is similar to TdH as everyone says, but it’s smoother, lighter, more orange juice tangy vibe, and more unisex (not sure why it’s listed for women). Honestly this should have been the summer flanker, or the edc version. The vetiver feel is replaced by the clean patch and pepper/coriander, which makes it a bit less earthy. I’m currently testing out Bvlgari terrae essence, and both this and that combined make up TdH, that one leans on the earthier aspect, this one veers more towards the juicy orange aspect.

Yet another citrus scent that turns into extremely masculine on my skin. There is a sweet amber and a green galbanum note in the opening then the lemon appears and screams out of the composition screwing it up for me although an earthy base of oakmoss, birch wood and spicy cardamom tries to hold the scent together. The drydown calls to my mind the Roma Uomo by Laura Biagiotti which used to be my favourite men fragrance. Appeals to both women and men.

After a dark citrus opening which if only it stayed on in some form would have been outstanding , this is effectively a gentle reflective incense and if this is what you are after then Comme des Garcons Kyoto is better and cheaper. It has more depth elevates the soul more and smells better and gets the compliments. They both last several hours and both project moderately which is exactly what you want with a reflective peace. Kyoto takes first place.

A wild citrus fragrance : Vento di Fiori is like this. The refreshing opening, given by consistent and juicy citrus fruits, is made particular by woody and incensed accents, which make it atypical in the genre, rustic, with that extra touch that one would not expect from this kind of fragrances which usually have many aspects in common . It's not my thing, but I would definitely notice the wearer.

It's sweet orange oil and cedar-y Iso E Super. Exceptionally boring and fleeting on skin, but I wear it anyway. I ended up with it because of the confusion between the notes description for this and Come la Luna. Fragrantica is not the only site which has them mixed up, which leads me to think that perhaps the perfume house itself switched the names/descriptions at some point.

Opening note is a very green spicy frangrance, which softens to woodsy with hints of leather and sandalwood. The longevity is quite good. Overall, a nice fall scent.

very nice indeed, but then i would say that , because i love to wear terre d'hermes aftershave (not edt or parfum.) and this is that aftershave -- with more depth.

THE NOTES LISTED HERE ARE FOR COME LA LUNA, NOT VENTO DI FIORI! This information comes from the producer's leaflet inside the box of scent. Go figure.
