    What do reviewers say about Rendezvous and Bal à Versailles?

    This is the real thing. Full-spectrum animalic perfumery, the kind that doesn't hedge. If you want safe, look away. If you want a fragrance that actually says something.Rendezvous
    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
