Bergamot and Currant Leaf and Bud over a amber base.
Bergamot and Amber for year-round wear.
Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles opens bold and smoky, leading with Bergamot, Currant Leaf and Bud and Lemon for its first impression on the skin. It softens into a heart of Bulgarian Rose, Cassia and Jasmine, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It rests on a base of Amber, Benzoin and Cedar, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
Wearers consistently describe Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles as a leather scent defined by bergamot, currant leaf and bud and lemon. The amber and benzoin base draws the most mentions for the impression it leaves.

Wasn't sure at first but the Bergamot grew on me fast. Now it's in my rotation.
Punches above its price. Bergamot up top, Amber underneath. Will rebuy.
Quality juice for the price. Lasts about 8 hours with strong sillage. The Bergamot to Amber transition is smooth.
People always ask what I'm wearing. The Mandarin Orange is the star here.
Works for both work and evenings. The Amber keeps it interesting all day.

Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles opens with Bergamot, Currant Leaf and Bud and Lemon, moves through a heart of Bulgarian Rose, Cassia and Jasmine, and settles on Amber, Benzoin and Cedar. Overall it reads as a leather fragrance.
Expect around 8 hours of wear, with strong sillage and moderate projection that settles closer to the skin over time.
Yes — its leather profile suits year-round wear, both daytime and evening depending on the occasion.
Top: Bergamot, Currant Leaf and Bud and Lemon. Heart: Bulgarian Rose, Cassia and Jasmine. Base: Amber, Benzoin and Cedar.
It works as a versatile signature; its strong sillage keeps it appropriate for both casual and dressed settings.
Projection is moderate in the opening hours, driven by its Amber, Benzoin and Cedar foundation, before it softens to a skin scent.
