What do reviewers say about Bal à Versailles and Rules of Attraction?
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
The aldehydes hit like a slap, then the cumin kicks in. That's not a warning, that's the point. The white florals don't apologize for being loud, and the civet is the whole reason you're here.Rules of Attraction
