Widely credited as the first true green floral, Germaine Cellier's 1947 Vent Vert built a whole chypre around a bracing overdose of galbanum, decades ahead of its time. It remains a benchmark of the green fragrance genre and a favorite among perfume historians for its radical, bitter-herbal freshness.
