    I have the modern “disco ball” version, and I’ll take the unusual stance that this forth reformulation was overdue and an improvement in overall wearability. I love the original (Germaine Cellier, 1947) and the first big reno (Calice Becker, 1990), but neither is especially wearable in the modern day. There was also that unfortunate 1999 version by Nathalie Feisthauer which is better off forgotten. The modern disco ball version is still a forceful aromatic green, but not the unrelentingly bitter asafoetida of the earlier versions.
    The modern version is slimmed down, but still a bracing green scent. It opens with a one-two punch of bitter galbanum and hyacinth. That’s rapidly followed by basil and lemon. Next are some floral middle notes layer into the mix. Those florals were missing in the prior version and it’s a great addition of clean rose and lily of the valley. It’s still incredibly green, but the floral gives some softness. Dry down, which lasts for hours, finally adds some wood notes and moss. It’s very clean, not soapy, just clean, freshly washed skin.
    This isn’t a tiny breeze; this is a wind. If you are lamenting the reformulation, I totally understand. The first two versions were brilliant, but this one is Vent Vert for the modern era.

    I am a vintage lover, but retired and hard to find vintages aren’t always within reach, so when I saw this 2.5 oz for $25, I grabbed it. (exactly as pictured)
    It’s as expected. A clean/fresh green floral. Great lasting power with one shot on my inner arm skin. Great sillage too from just that.
    Have I smelled the original? No. And I’m pretty sure this will be very disappointing for those who have. This is pretty basic/generic, along the lines of the current Chanel No. 19 and Silences.
    Very clean and fresh, like Ivory/Dove soap. I wouldn’t even put a gender on this. Great for summer, even tho my test was winter. (Perhaps the amazing lasting power is because of my climate right now, I find that to be true with several fragrances)

    As an advocate of modern perfumery, I acquired this new Vent Vert (disco ball cap) before testing the original. Got burnt bad by Balmain de Balmain, Jacomo Silences, and Chanel #19, before swearing off of further trips to Bank-of-England. Then, a kind Fragrantician-friend sent me a decant of the original.
    Both are delightful in their own right, but a lot has happened in those 44 years.
    New Vent Vert is a sheer-diaphanous, transparent Ethereal with frangipani/ plumeria floralcy. The pyramid suggests hyacinth or neroli, but there’s something tropical-feeling on my skin.
    Original Vent Vert is a glorious Galbanum vehicle – a galloping cavalcade of dense lush foliage, bordering on opaque. There’s a mossy-woods painting a swoon-worthy viridian backdrop. It’s the first time IFRA’s Oakmoss ban impacted my life. Now I fully see what the ‘big deal’ surrounding reformulation is.
    The dance remix of Rihanna’s Umbrella beats the ballad. Reboot of Battlestar Galactica or Hawaii Five-0 is better than the 70’s. Newer > Older for almost everything. Vent Vert is unique, in that I actually prefer the Original. 🙂

    The bottle shown, with the spherical top, is not the 1990 reformulation by Calice Becker described in this entry, but a later reformulation. The Calice Becker version has the “windy” green top that is shown in the listing for Vent Vert Original.

    Il est bien agréable ce nouveau Vent Vert mais alors quelle déception : au bout d’1/2 heure, il s’est littéralement volatilisé …. sûrement emporté par le vent … frais celui- là.

    Just trialing this a the moment. It reminds of Carven’s Ma Griffe which I used to wear and liked.
    Can smell the hyacinth initially and the citrus, but is mellowing to a powdery green note. I’m not that fond of galbanum, and you can definitely catch a whiff of it, but it is not overpowering. So far.
