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 ...

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.

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!

Scent Michael Jackson loved

A scent that you don't need to spray on a lot of the scent is strong enough for one drop to keep you smelling Mmmmm!!!! Michael Jackson loved this scent as well as Tom Fords Black Orchid. So if you're a Michael Jackson fan, and you want to smell like MJ? Wear one of the scents I mentioned.

I've been wearing this scent for 40 years!

I've loved this perfume for 40 years. It's the only scent I wear and my grandchildren now recognize it as being "Nanny's smell!" It's a long lasting scent but not overpowering. If you put on a small dab you will have just the right amount of scent from the beginning of the day to the end. It does not fade quickly. It is worth the price. I was sad when it was no longer carried in the major department stores in my area but was very glad to find it online.

ABSOLUTELY MY FAVOURITE PERFUME!!!♥️

E. Taylor gave me a bottle of this perfume in the late 70s -- we had mutual friends and that's how we met. Had always admired her & enjoyed her being an acquaintance but fell head over heels in love with Bal a Versailles. The compliments have always been endless and it baffles everyone as to what fragrance I'm wearing. Please, please, please never stop making this sensually intoxicating perfume!♥️

I have been using Enjoli cologne for many years and have difficulty finding it at times. I was very pleased to find it still available at Perfume.com. I am hopeful it will be available for a long time in the future as I enjoy the scent myself and get many compliments on it from others.

Bal A Versailles

Several years ago a fellow co-worker was wearing the Escada by Escada for women and I was amazed at the fragrance. I had asked what it was and after a short conversation about the perfume I, not only interested about the history, searched the local high end stores to acquire it. I HAD NO LUCK. I then was told about perfume.com and the rest is history. Since that time I continually get positive comments about the fragrance and would not change. Thanks

Bal A Versailles

Escada Homme by Escada when i first smelled it from the bottle i thought it smelled awful (a cheap and strong chemical odor) then after a few minutes of having it on I really started liking it. The scent mellows out to a refined, rich, warm and cosy romantic or evening fragrance. great for cooler weather. It has a noticable hint of cognac mixed with a sweet yet spicy woody-oriental aroma. It is very masculine and worth trying if you can get past the first few minutes of its very potent smell.

Bal A Versailles

My rating is Five for ENVY ME by Gucci. This is so nice. In my wife's collection this is the best. I always ask her to wear ENVY ME. My Wife tried ENVY ME on a tester card sample in Foley's when she went for shopping. She liked the smell. But she didn't buy. After that she kept the tester card in her hand bag. The card smelled for months... Yes, it is true. Fianally, I bought ENVY ME to my wife. It is wonderful. When it is worth, we dont think of money. Good for all the seasons. Thanks to GUCCI. Ur products are amazing.

This is one of my favorite perfumes. I fell in love with ENVY ME when I first smelt it in a magazine. It smells so pink, so sweet, so lady. You can wear it anywhere, whether to school, office, conference or a party. It suits any people from eighteen to forty years old. Also, I like this bottle design, neat and lovely.

Bal A Versailles

One of the best values on the market. High quality and very well constructed, the cognac in the topnotes lingers and makes Escada by Escada luxurious and one that stands out in the crowd. Turns warm and powdery in the drydown, with just a bit of bite from the juniper. Definitely one that elicits its fair share of compliments.

Bal A Versailles

Escada is a little too sweet and strong for me. However it has an pleasant scent. The trick is not to use too much, because as it fades and blends with your skin it begins to mellow. Good fragrance for the price.
