What do reviewers say about Bal à Versailles and Cuir Cannage?
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
This is for someone who smells leather and thinks 'more.' The florals aren't a softening exercise, they're a trick. Get past them, and what you have is a statement piece.Cuir Cannage
