Hey gents,
I've just read some reviews about a potential next buy : Envoyage Perfumes' Vents Ardents.
They all seem to be very positive about this fragrance.
Anyone has smelled this? I'm curious as to how good it is.
Thanks in advance!
One blog I read, which seems serious and knowledgeable, has described it in a way that make me want to buy this ASAP :

One blog I read, which seems serious and knowledgeable, has described it in a way that make me want to buy this ASAP :
When I first smelt Vents Ardents, it literally took my breath away. Heavy, rich, red-coloured woods, stained with aged smoke and tobacco. The scent of tropical fruits (mango? sweet orange? pineapple? feijoa?), a lactonic quality reminiscent of coconut – but more the image of the dark shell than the soft white flesh and milk, it’s overwhelming! There’s sweet liquer - a heavy booze accord that is literally dizzying up top, with sweaty, salty facets all piled atop a subtle, but literal marine note (driftwood).There’s a heavy dose of tonka bean, sweetening Vents Ardents to a point of tooth ache, and then the unrecognizable, exotic woods drag the fragrance down into a stale, bitter smoke – it’s a push and pull of sweetness and textures, my nose has no friggin’ idea what is going on. There’s a hint of floral powder, an almond-y heliotrope, at times completely overwhelmed by the heavier woods and remaining fruit punch, and at other’s almost dominating in a pitch and strength higher than I’ve ever smelt. There are drizzles of honey scattered throughout, gradually merging with the woods in an abstract Miel de Bois- style, completely different but equally as challenging.Incase you’ve smelt it already, the listed wood is mahogany, I’ve never smelt the note so can’t be so specific, but underneath is a dry, dark oak – again, soaked in honey, liquor, tobacco smoke and the memory of overripe fruits. The marine accord underneath is not at all “watery”, instead: a concentrated drop of salt and rot…. At the very base, is white musk, more vanilla, a heavily balsamic amber accord and the multifaceted woods.
I can go on and on trying to describe in words what Vents Ardents smells like, but I find it near impossible without this write-up sounding like a mess. All I can say is, it is one of the most impressive fragrances I have smelt in a long time, and without a doubt one of the best masculine’s I have smelt (although totally unisex and marketed so!). This fragrance is truly brilliant!
