Pros & Cons
- ✅ I have two bottles BaV. This is the current version of the EDT, and it is truly incredible.
- ✅ Bal A Versailles is a very good patchouli/woody/musk/floral perfume.
- ✅ I have been wearing BaV since the early 80's... Expertly blended cedar, sandalwood, boozy vanilla, civet, benzoin, and a fuzzy balsam.
- ❌ I purchased the current eau de toilette... There was no funk, animalic, or sensual aspect to this fragrance. It smells like Talcum Powder.
- ❌ I get floral for about 10 minutes, then animals for another 20, and then it's gone.
