Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bal à Versailles Eau de Parfum

Bal à Versailles is properly divisive, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s not for the faint of heart. Original formulations, adored by Michael Jackson, are hailed as masterpieces - rich, complex, and seductively ‘naughty’. But be warned, modern versions might leave you longing for that vintage magic, or worse, with just a whiff of talcum powder or cat pee.

Our Verdict - Lost In Heaven Eau de Parfum

Francesca Bianchi's Lost in Heaven is a divisive, unapologetically animalic floral that some find a 'masterpiece' and others a 'halitosis sundae'. It's bold, complex, and demands respect, but certainly isn't a blind buy.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and animalic accords make it unsuitable for office or sport. However, the opulent, amber-heavy profile and "naughty" or "sexy" sentiment from reviews make it perfect for dates and evening formal events.

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This fragrance is an extrait with excellent longevity and sillage, making it too powerful for most office environments. Its sensual and opulent nature, combined with a strong animalic presence, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events where making a statement is desired, but less suitable for casual or sport wear.
