15 ml Extrait de Parfum (0.5 fl. oz.)
Splash
Made in France
Vintage version
Rare and highly sought-after

Almost full bottle in original presentation box, with missing content possibly due to light use or natural evaporation. This is a rare vintage bottle, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s.

Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez was released in 1962. It is a powdery oriental scent with amber, powdery, woody, animalic, musky, balsamic, smoky, resinous, warm spicy, floral, vanilla, and sweet main accords.

Reportedly one of Michael Jackson’s favorite perfumes, Bal à Versailles is a sweet, animalic, incensey masterpiece of perfumery - its rich oriental opulence standing in bold contrast to the crisp chypres that defined the 1960s. A mysterious and majestic scent!
