Vent Vert is legendary - the first true green fragrance, which was shocking to many at its launch in 1947. Most of these bottles haven't survived, but I have some from the 1960s in excellent shape. If Balmain ever brought back the original, that would be extraordinary.

My mom took me to get me my makeup done at the Chanel counter at mall before my Junior prom (1996). I have never felt fancier or more beautiful and so began my love affair with department store beauty counters.

Your writing is so lusty, it makes me want to say yes (to fragrance, to magazines, to whatever)
