Somber, sultry and Swedish, Greta Garbo is one of the first names that pop into our minds when we think of the best of classic Hollywood. While her most famously remembered lover is her frequent costar John Gilbert (and possibly a dalliance with German author Erich Maria Remarque), she is now known to have been bisexual, and counted among her female lovers Lilyan Tashman, Louise Brooks, and the author Mercedes de Acosta.
And what sort of fragrance did the “Swedish Sphinx” favor?
“Vent Vert” by Balmain, a dizzying and fresh mix of greenery.
First launched in 1947 and later reformulated in the 90s, the original was a concoction invented by Germaine Cellier. The top notes are violet leaf, bergamot, neroli and narcissus, while the middle notes are galbanum, basil, hyacinth, narcissus, lily-of-the-valley, rose, freesia, geranium and jasmine. Finally, the base notes comprise of oakmoss, sandalwood and musk.
Other favorites were the chypre floral “Ivoire de Balmain”, and The Crown Perfurmery Co.’s “Tanglewood Bouquet”, which was an amber floral.
Each fragrance has one thing in common: they are as bold and arresting as Garbo herself.

I was out&about visiting my parents in my old town today. Mum and I decided to get a Starbuckies then we went to a few stores and thrift store that's where I found this 🤍FULL HOUSE TOTE BAG🤍 I Couldn't believe it. Mum and I where suprised that this exists because in all my years of collecting FullHouse/ MaryKate and Ashley olsen items. I've never come across this tote bag. Such a lucky find!
Hope you all had a great day/evening. ❤️

Estos reyes acuérdate del pequeño comercio de Gijón. Gracias a vuestras compras y apoyo seguiremos vistiendo las calles de Gijón. Si solo compráis en los grandes almacenes, lo único que habrá será eso. Muchas tiendas ya han cerrado sus puertas por el centro, no dejes que las calles queden desiertas y los locales vacíos. Apoya al pequeño comercio! #comerciodegijon #pequenocomercio #detiendas #ropa #reyes #reyesmagos #newyear #moda #vinage #retro #pikebrotherscompany (en POISON HEART CLOTHING) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7g3-uDsyQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
