Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez 1.7 oz – Legendary oriental amber eau de toilette spray.
Launched in 1962, this iconic fragrance remains one of the most celebrated vintage orientals in perfumery history. Opening with vibrant bergamot, lemon, mandarin, neroli, rosemary, orange blossom, cassia, rose, and jasmine, the scent unfolds into a rich heart of rose de mai, lily of the valley, lilac, orris, jasmine, ylang-ylang, vetiver, leather, and patchouli before settling on an opulent base of cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla, civet, benzoin, amber, musk, tolu balsam, and resins. Inspired by the grandeur of Versailles, this animalic masterpiece embodies sophisticated sensuality with unmatched richness and depth.
