Balmain · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Balmain Vent Vert (2024) is a green, citrusy unisex scent that reads fresh, lightly sweet and floral. The scent works as one green, fresh whole: spearmint, basil and galbanum give it a cool, leafy side, while green mandarin orange and blackcurrant pull it towards fruit and a light sweetness. Jasmine adds a soft floral touch and musk a creamy base, and the synthetic accord gives it a clean, modern feel. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter well back. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and many also see it as an office scent. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits in between.
