    This is a review of the vintage vent vert in extrait, in the square stoppered bottle by Germaine cellier that was available until the 1970s. Not the vent vert with a green top that looks like...

    During my quest for a “green” floral appropriate for spring/summer weather, I sniffed several reputable fragrances with the intention of finally finding the perfect balance of refreshment and...

    I tried a sample and I did not like it. I did not loathe it. Definitely green but it just felt old fashioned. Nothing special.

    Vent Vert opens with a glorious whoosh of green that, alas, lasts for approximately 17 seconds before drying down to smell a lot like, as the previous reviewer noted, Jontue. Would love to try a...

    I can't help but feel happy when I wear this- it works like aromatherapy. The blast of fresh green that I initially get stays prominent throughout (I know, duh, hence the "Green Wind"). Some white...

    Green honeysuckle with peppery tomato-like leaves. Is there lily in this? If so, it's very faint. It smells like a green garden as envisioned by a perfumer: Green, floral chypre without the true...

    Looking for something green, I decided to try this, although I had read discouraging reports on reformulation. I ignored these because many times the reformulations are just fine. This time...

    The latest reformulation after the initial blast of green, for reasons that are totally beyond me, reminds me of Safari by Ralph Lauren. The early 1990s version (white dots on green cap) is a tad...

    I definitely agree with the reviewers who have lamented the manner in which this lovely green scent quickly becomes powdery. This is really too bad because I LOVE the opening scent! I got this as a...

    From what I gathered from the press and books about perfumes, Vent Vert has "enjoyed" several reformulations. Unfortunately, I can only very faintly remember the original smell, but the bottle I...

    I never smelled the old version, but bought a bottle of the new one after some superficial in-store testing. Once I got home, I tried it over and over again but I couldn't fall in love with it. It...

    This beautiful scent really is a breath of fresh air. The opening notes are very grassy and herby, but not at all bitter, and the floral heart is outstandingly fresh and beautiful with notes of...

    A celebration of summer! Not my favourite season, but this somehow makes it more bearable. Composed in 1947 by the great and wonderful Germaine Cellier, it was meant as a hymn to freedom and...
