A dear friend of ours who knew that I liked Caron’s Tabac Blond, as it used to be, of course, gave my partner a bottle of Versailles Pour Homme, and tonight we reminded ourselves of how remarkable a fragrance it is. And as arresting as it was when we were first given it in 1985. Tomorrow, we’ll go back to Caron’s Tabac Blond, and the night after …. well, who knows. In the meantime, we’re awaiting delivery of a a bottle of Lalique White, which also promises well. We’ll see. And maybe in twenty years time, we’ll be commenting about that as well. Hopefully in a very positive way.

This fragrance is the best ever have tried to purchase for ages without success. Please someone put this back on sale. So much better than all the new men’s fragrance’s.

This was truly my fav fragrance on the Planet. If this was still available, it would be my signature juice until….

I’ve being searching out this retro/epic juice several months and finally found a 100ml splash. I remember this juice as is it was yesterday and it all came back…a real robust aroma of Styrax, olibanum mixed with amber and a subtle leather blend.
Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting well past 8hrs
I agree that this juice blows some of the current nieche fragrance in today’s market out of the water. This juice brings out a real attractive masculine woodsy/powdery scent with hint of sweetness insence aroma. There’s also a hint of spicy notes giving it a real attractive oriental fougere.
It’s a shame that such an amazing juice isn’t available..this juice is timeless classic. 9.5/10..If you want an 80’s classic, this is definitely worthy trying to get your hands on. Jean Desprez was a real artisans giving us such nieche fragrance.

What a trip down memory lane! I had this wonderful perfume in the 80ies, bought in Paris, and I thought it was the most exotic, spicy scent ever. Even after becoming an afficionado of fragrances, collector of niche, and obtaining one of the last bottles available on eBay, I still think it´s a masterpiece, my nostalgic tendencies served me well when deciding to get it again.
It´s very unusual perfume in today´s world of fragrance, but not overly 80ies in style. Its originality, which imo is caused by the combination of carnation, cinnamon and olibanum, makes it a timeless and exotic classic, and it definitely deserved a longer life than it got. I agree with other reviewers that Versailles is a part of scent history.
For me personally I don´t associate it most with the golden halls of the Versailles palace, instead it brought me back to nights of roaming the streets of Le Quartier Latin in Paris with all the fun I had… 😉
8/10

I cannot believe there’s just 3 reviews of this masterpiece… Sad…
Anyone who wants to see a development in a fragrance should try this… One spray & it brings the best evolution that an inferior nose like me can gather…
Initially the wonderful citrus, slight incense.
Then comes the spices & subtle florals.
&
Finally the base with animalic musks, ambergris, leather, moss.
A WOW perfume…

Possibly the best modern men’s fragrance ever created, ‘Patou’ pour homme came in a very close second (another tragedy), why this was discontinued is beyond belief. Seriously, this juice was revered by so many & still today it’s missed to the extent that guys who were too young at the time to use it mourn it’s passing as well, for me a classy and uber masculine leather, vanilla & carnation floriental, sadly lost to the ether forever?
R.I.P old friend!

This is it folks, the ultimate complex, “masculine” oriental; an aficionado’s dream come true! What you get here is naturalness and aromatics, yet it’s overall an oriental – quite an accomplishment. Niche is a joke compared to this one. I can’t understand why Patou Pour Homme is so highly sought after yet this one gets almost no attention. A top ten of all time, IMO. At least sample this one – or hang your head in shame !

thick as a brick, this is a time capsule to a different era,owned a mini back in the 80’s and now two vintage bottles… its charisma stays unadulterated!
