Femme, 1950:

"And since we are on the chapter of seduction, let us immediately note the lightning launch of 4 Vents, the new perfume from Revillon, which prides itself on seducing all men - which will make it the favorite of all women - It is hot , disturbing, enveloping, wild...With remarkable tenacity and an astonishing power of diffusion, 4 Vents boldly combines woody scents, forest scents and great floral essences, without forgetting the warm and sensual note brought by the musk and amber. Worthy brother of Amou Daria and Carnet de Bal."

Combat, 1952:

"Elegant and vermilion in its flame-cut bottle, "4 Vents" offers the appeal of novelty. This Benjamin de Revillon has the unprecedented power of preserving each of its components with its distinctive particularities. From the harmonious blend of aromas, the more diverse, stand out in so many moving notes, the smell of wood and moss, the heady scent of fruits ripened in the sun. Jasmine and Bulgarian rose set the tone of elegance and distinction; musk and amber add a disturbing and sensual accord. A luxury perfume with sought-after qualities, it cannot however eclipse "Carnet de Bal" imbued with memories springing from a skillful synthesis of balsamic scents, amber and exotic essences."

Harper's Bazaar, 1953:

"At Revillon Freres. Scent it with "4 Vents." Revillon's warm, spring-smelling perfume. Pale suede gloves, by Kislav."
