Evergreen
According to Cambridge University Dictionary ‘evergreen’ means something ‘always seeming fresh and popular’.
Vent vert is one of the best green fragrances I have met. I love Chanel No 19, a beautiful green with a lot of sharpness and good floral heart. I adore Tendre Poison, a favourite for many years with its sweet, floral take on the green. I admire Isabella Rossellini’s Manifesto, a blast of green on a spring day. And I sometimes crave SJP’s Covet, a mix of green and chocolate. All three wonderful and appreciated in my collection. But Vent Vert… well, that is a totally different story.
Vent Vert is a fragrance with many faces. At first spray it has the chalky note that I love so much (galbanum). It boosts the whole fragrance - wonderful lift off. Another thing I notice is that whenever I wear it, I experience moments when the flowers become dominant. In whiffs. Suddenly I think that I am wearing a different fragrance. It surprises me every time. Even though this is not the most long lasting fragrance it still makes me pay attention due to the complexity. Always. Now that’s a good perfume!
Wonderful bottle! I love the top detail with the grass-like shape. Not feminine - not masculine. This, in my opinion, could be unisex. The bottle tells you what you are about to experience.
If I had to choose between my greens - I would choose Vent Vert.
