this is what Michael wore most often- it's a smell like no other
Launched in 1962 by Jean Desprez, Bal à Versailles is a Floral Oriental with notes of jasmine, rose, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, amber, and civet. Those notes suggest a dark, rich, and powerful scent. And it is. it's unexpected based on that list of ingredients how soft and strangely comforting this fragrance really is. Bal à Versailles starts with jasmine whose indolic darkness is almost impenetrable and very agreeable. According to Jan Moran, three rose species were used in Bal à Versailles, Bulgarian, Anatolian, and May rose; based on that I expected the rose note to be more pronounced, and the rose is there, but it only serves as an understated background, which allows the dark jasmine note to flourish more effectively.
The middle stage of the fragrance is sweetly woody and ambery and not especially remarkable, but it is over very soon, giving way to the most scrumptiously animalic drydown. It is resinous and pitch black and it makes my knees week and my mouth dry. What with the indolic top note of jasmine and the civet in the base, Bal à Versailles is positively dirty. It is dirty, ravishing, sexyand very softit is shocking really how unexpectedly velvety this scent is. Bal à Versailles would be a great accomplice if you wanted to seduce, stun and enslave somebody, but it would also work great as a warm comfort scent to wrap around you on a cold, dreary winter day.

  • I have the fragrance and have been wearing it every day for 2 weeks.. I can't smell it on myself, but I get stopped by people in the street to ask me what that gorgeous smell is... It is divine and very sensual... I knew that MJ would only have good taste! This is so regal and dignified, just like he was. Love you angel!

  • @zoegrace His make up artist said, tha he wore women parfumes and put make up, because Michael as an artist had no barriers, he thought things shouldnt be divided between women and men, everyone should use and wear whatever they are confortable with! I LOVE YOU MJ!
