Bal à Versailles Eau de Cologne

Bal à Versailles opens with a bright floral rush—Bulgarian rose and orange blossom meet the zest of bergamot and mandarin, threaded through with rosemary's green snap and neroli's honeyed orange petal. The middle settles into a powdery-green heart where vetiver and orris root anchor lily-of-the-valley and lilac, while leather and sandalwood add a subtle earthiness beneath the florals. As it deepens, amber and civet emerge with warm vanilla and tolu balsam, the resins and benzoin building a creamy, slightly animalic undertone that softens against dry cedar and the lingering sweetness of vanila on skin.
