About This Perfume
Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles Eau de Cologne comes across as powdery, musky amber floral with citrus sparkle. It opens with jasmine, orange blossom and cassia, moves into ylang-ylang, orris root and sandalwood and settles on amber, civet and Tolu balsam. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 1962.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: amber is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike powdery fragrances.
Around $63.
