About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Bal by Jean Desprez, launched in 1962, is a classic Oriental composed by Jean Desprez himself. The opening is a rich rose bouquet, led by Bulgarian rose. The heart unfolds into a complex blend of leather, sandalwood, ylang-ylang, orris root, patchouli, lilac, vetiver, and lily-of-the-valley. The base is deep and animalic, with civet, resins, Tolu balsam, amber, benzoin, vanilla, musk, and cedar.

This fragrance is a powerhouse of amber, powdery, woody, animalic, musky, and balsamic accords. It suits collectors who appreciate vintage opulence and bold, sensual compositions. Ideal for evening wear or special occasions, Bal is a statement scent for those who love the grandeur of mid-century perfumery.
