I have recently come to appreciate the (1990) version of Vent Vert by Calice Becker. I find it a very pleasant summer fragrance. My first Balmain infatuation was and still is Ambre Gris. I happened on a sample of the Vent Vert and knew I had to have it in the collection. It is a beautiful explosion of green, dry but, slightly sweet and smooth. I am not big on green fragrances but, this one is amazing. Unfortunately it has been reformulated but, there are still some bottles out there of the Calice Becker version. I have been slowly accumulating them. Very wearable by a man. I understand that the original formulation came in pure parfum also. I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been. Fragrance is one love affair after another. I wonder if you might have any backround information or history of this fragrance that you would like to share?
