Fittingly named, this fragrance hinting at palatial grandeur, Bal a Versailles is both regal and festive. This French perfume, introduced straightforwardly by its own perfumer, Jean Desprez, in 1962, is one of the sincerely great French oriental perfumes of all times, meant for les grandes dames and those who wish to be so one day... Citrus top notes lead into a lush, dense floral heart where seductive, intimate base notes sing of extravagant interiors and intricate affairs of the heart.
