What do reviewers say about Melancholy. Letters Wallice and Bal à Versailles?
This doesn't try to be likable. The calamus and saffron opening is sharp, almost medicinal, then tobacco and incense take over and it becomes something you either understand or you don't. Dense.Melancholy. Letters Wallice
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
