    A wonderful, classic perfume. Very sensual but soft, very feminine. The packaging could use an update but I kind of like it anyway - sort of funky. My husband loves this scent on me. Enough...

    I would never have chosen this one by myself, because it is so different from what I usually wear. But one sweet person made me brave enough to try :-) It smells very sexy, not dated at all...

    Soft as a pussycat's foot, femine, delicious. It literally makes me want to purr. I stumbled on this one while on an eBay skulk. As a dedicated scentaholic, I simply had to try it and ordered it...

    This is one of my newest fragrance finds, even though it's been around since 1962. In Susan Irvine's book this fragrance is classified as a "woody, balsamic Oriental," and I think that description...

    I first purchased the EDC in the little white and gold (kitsch) bottle. At first sniff it smelled powdery and a bit dated but I kept trying it and I am so glad I did...I fell in love! I now...

    Smells warm, sensual and delicious. I like the sandalwood note. It does take you back to a bygone era when clothes were in stunning silks. I cannot add more than by saying - I love jennyb's...

    The perfectly named Bal à Versailles smells, as a friend of mine once memorably put it, like opening Louis XIV's underwear drawer. At once grand and intimate, a sensual foundation of sandalwood,...

    Created in 1962 with over 350 ingredients, Bal a Versailles is an ambery, sweet, resinous, slightly floral, powdery, warm, complex, and above all, natural-smelling parfum. I cannot speak for the...

    Once again, it is thanks to the lovely Christian that I was able to aquire a sample of this. Fortunately, where Habanita was instant dislike, the Bal a Versailles stole my heart immediately. It...

    I thought I already did a review on this? Anway, I really like this scent, it is a deeper scent like YSL Nu, Angel and Fendi Theroma. I just couldn't pull this one off though. It turned old-lady...
