Vent Vert's name and bottle perfectly capture the essence of the beautiful perfume.

This scent is almost like an olfactory experience in a bottle, rather than a perfume. Upon the first whiff, I'm instantly transported to a warm Spring day in a park or a meadow somewhere, when the grass is finally green again and the season's first flowers are in full bloom. I usually try to describe a perfume in concrete terms, but I can't single out any notes here. The whole thing comes across as a single effect, dredging up memories of a beautiful Spring day when the breeze carried this exact, lovely scent. I'm mystified.

Green, green, sweet and bitter green! But too much for me.

NOT A REVIEW - JUST A NOTE ABOUT THE DESIGNER:

I believe the designer (the "nose") was Germaine Cellier; and I think she also designed "Ivoire"(keeping in mind PB's "vision" of the scent).

BTW, I remember reading that the official launch of this perfume was at (or somehow connected to) the Cannes film festival of 1947.

All of the above applies to the original, of course.
Unfortunately, VV has been reformulated in recent years.

first of all it's just like a blow of the spring wind and then it becomes to jasmine and peach scents.I think the most clear combination is jasmine.the hiacynth is very pure too.The name of the perfume in french means "the green wind" and the shape of the bottle inclines the meaning too.it reminds me so many classic perfumes.but the green notes is the point of distinction to say that it's more than a classic fragrance,but I think it would become cooler if the green notes were sharper,like what the name and the shape of bottle mean to.

A signature scent for me...it reminds me of the first palr green leaves budding out and of jonquils blooming..First purchase in 1965; this was released in ca. 1946-49 and was mentioned in Ian Flemming's James Bond novel "To Russia With Love" as a seductive addition to a liasion on the Orient Express! It HAS been reformulated over the years as Balmain was absorbed by a giant conglomerate. Beautiful, very galbanum-y fresh, and I love it at 56!

Fine, blusterous, careless, a bit frantic smell. It's like a spring wind, like a young grass and flowers in may. Youthful and timeless. It have full energy. Beautiful.

It is a beautiful green perfume, but unfortunately it does not last long on me.

I don't think that everything need to be for young. But in my opinion it's a hard fragrance over 40-50's.

Why does everything need to be for the young?

I love Vent Vert - a sophisticated fragrance in a gauche world!
