Bal à Versailles

Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez, launched in 1962, is a landmark Oriental composed by Jean Despre. The top opens with rose and Bulgarian rose, leading to a heart of leather, sandalwood, ylang-ylang, orris root, patchouli, lilac, vetiver, and lily-of-the-valley. The base is a rich tapestry of civet, resins, tolu balsam, amber, benzoin, vanilla, musk, and cedar. This is a full-bodied, animalic floral with a powdery, balsamic drydown that demands attention. Collectors prize it for its unapologetic complexity and vintage character. It suits those who appreciate bold, classic perfumery and are comfortable with prominent civet and resinous accords. Ideal for evening wear or special occasions, it is not for the faint of heart. The interplay of rose, leather, and animalic notes creates a scent that evolves dramatically over hours, rewarding patience and discernment.
