Favorite perfume

I have worn Bal a Versailles since I was a freshman in college. Although the product is not the original, it is close enough to make me happy. I have over the years bought a few counterfeit bottles and I can always tell. Does disappoint me when I get the fake ... some of it smells like kerosene! ...

Bal A Versailles

I recieved this perfume as a Christmas gift. I have to say that I don't agree with the other reviews, then again everyone has different tastes and perfume smells different on everyone. The perfume was too strong for me. Nothing pleasant about the smell at all. I use it to spray around the house so ...

I adore this perfume 😍 I've worn it for it for 45 year's.

I've worn this perfume for so long, I met a previous coworker I hadn't seen in a long time & when she hugged me she said "Yumhhh, you still smell the same." 😊😊😊

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Lovely and Classic

I purchased this because it was recently featured in a vintage cosmetics video as one of Mae West's favorite perfumes. It is very nice and I have received many compliments, but a little goes a long way.

My signature scent since 1963!

In early 1963 the big boss went to France on a business trip and came back with six bottles of scent for we ladies in the office. I received the smallest bottle and when I commented on the size he told me it was the most expensive. I think it still is! But I'll never be without it. I remember during one decade many years ago it was not bring imported to the US and my mother made a special effort to get some from France via a traveling friend. It was for my birthday. The last time I bought some was on a cruise to the Caribbean. Now I read in other reviews that it is not the same. Goodness, I hope that's not the case.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

RSVP "Yes baby"...

Like all reformulations it isn't the same, but the bone structure is still there. Not as strong, long lasting or as full and rich as it was but still a good quality perfume. It is still a love it/hate it fragrance, which it always was. Very much an Adult scent. No cotton candy/sugar/soap/vanilla or chocolate in this one! The bottle, label and coffret still add much to the experience. They are Classic.

I have over the years bought a few counterfeit bottles and I can always tell. Does disappoint me when I get the fake ... some of it smells like kerosene! However, my husband and children identify the fragrance as my essence (they have never smelled another fragrance on me). I am always grateful when I get the "right stuff"!
