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.

Favourite

Our Verdict - 1988

A modern homage to classic green aromatics, 1988 is for those who appreciate a refined, slightly retro vibe. It's well-blended and elegant, though its longevity leaves some wanting more for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vent Vert

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and refined profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, projecting an aura of composed freshness. While elegant enough for formal settings, its performance might not last a full evening, and it's too subtle for a boisterous night out.
