About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Vent Vert, launched in 1947, is a cornerstone of the floral green family. Its top notes burst with a vivid, almost aggressive greenness: lime, basil, asafoetida, lemon, neroli, orange blossom, bergamot, and a surprising touch of peach. The heart is a dense thicket of galbanum, hyacinth, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, marigold, rose, violet, freesia, ylang-ylang, and spicy notes. The base settles into oakmoss, vetiver, iris, sage, musk, amber, styrax, sandalwood, and cedar. This is not a polite perfume; it is a statement of verdant energy, with a green accord that dominates completely. Collectors of vintage chypres and green florals will find it indispensable. It suits those who appreciate bold, structured scents with a bitter, mossy finish. Ideal for spring and summer days, or for anyone seeking a classic reference point in perfumery history.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
