Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vent Vert

This one's a proper cult classic, but be warned: the 1991 reformulation is still a green powerhouse, though some purists might sniff at it compared to the original. It's divisive, sharp, and certainly not for everyone, but if you love a truly 'green' scent, you'll be hooked.

Our Verdict - Pure DKNY Verbena

This is a lovely, clean, fresh green scent, reminiscent of a crisp spring garden by the seaside. It's often praised for its refreshing, subtle nature, making it a crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate understated elegance. However, be warned: its poor longevity can be a real letdown for some.

Also Works:

Office

Its intensely green and fresh nature makes it ideal for casual wear and invigorating for sport, especially in warmer weather. While it has a classic elegance that could work for some office settings, its initial sharpness and polarizing character might be too much for formal events or intimate dates.

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor sillage means it's a 'skin scent', making it suitable for close encounters like dates, but less impactful for formal events. It's also great for warmer weather and active use due to its refreshing quality.
