An air vent, having a housing with an air duct in which a decorative element, at least one first blade and at least one second blade are arranged, wherein - the decorative element is arranged in a section of the air duct facing an air outlet opening, - the at least one first blade is arranged upstream from the decorative element in the air duct in the direction of air flow, the at least one second blade is arranged upstream from the at least one first blade in the direction of air flow in a section of the air duct facing an air inlet opening, - the at least one first blade and the at least one second blade are mounted in a pivotable manner on and/or in the housing, - the volume of air supplied into a first area and a second area of the at least one first blade can be regulated by means of the at least one second blade, - the at least one first blade is mounted essentially orthogonally to the pivot axis of the at least one second blade and mounted essentially orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the decorative element, - the decorative element and the at least one first blade are arranged in a first section of the air duct, and the at least one second blade is arranged in a second section of the air duct, the first section having curved wall sections positioned opposite the decorative element and the second section having a smaller flow cross-section than the first section, and - the entire flow cross-section of the air duct can be modified via the at least one second blade, characterised in that - the flow cross-section in a neutral position of the at least one second blade in the first section corresponds to the flow cross-section in the second section, and - the at least one first blade is arranged in a section which is located in the transition from the first section to the second section. having a housing with an air duct in which a decorative element, at least one first blade and at least one second blade are arranged, wherein -
