What do reviewers say about Eau de Caron and Bal à Versailles?
This is a discontinued chypre that smells like someone who read the room before entering it. The carnation is the tell, it's there, it's not subtle, and it either gets you or it doesn't.Eau de Caron
The civet is not subtle. Neither is the leather, the resin, or the fact that this was made in 1962 by someone who didn't ask permission. If the warm, golden, multilayered character calls to you.Bal à Versailles
