I tried it next to Chanel No. 19 and that was it. VV is like a slightly airier version of 19 on me - does anyone else get this? I just got my sample of Vent Vert , and it seemed strangely familiar.

Perhaps it's the '90 version. Gorrrrrgeous. I do love a green floral - I was expecting more of a blast of galbanum, but only got enough to make it fresh as cut grass: perfect, in other words.

I have seen at least 3 different Ma Griffe bottles, but I've no idea how they're dated, sorry!

Ivoire is an HG- odd, woody, clean and my husband loves it too. it's just perfect. may i recommend Carven's Ma Griffe. once read it described as a "pointy" green fragrance and that is a perfect description. off the common scent path for sure :) but may be perfect for someone searching for a special green frag. oh dear i'm a little late to the party….i adore Vent Vert, have and love the parfum and the edt. its a sweet-ish green for sure, the parfum being rich as well.

Are you just not happy with the newer formulation of the Carven? And what other vetivers have you tried?
