Eau de Toilette

Jean Desprez Versailles pour Homme Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning men's scent that ties citrus, green and spice to a resinous, leathery depth; it has been discontinued. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Autumn and winter lead, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and for leisure. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. The top has bergamot, lemon and green notes, with pimento and clary sage adding spice. Patchouli, carnation and sandalwood form the heart. The base settles into amber, vanilla, leather and labdanum, with a woody, earthy, smoky feel.

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Jean Desprez Revolution à Versailles is a women's fragrance that sets a floral heart of jasmine, rose and frangipani against the fruity sweetness of mirabelle plum and the woody warmth of sandalwood; it has been discontinued. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it tends to stay noticeable on the skin and to carry around the wearer. It is classed as a feminine scent. The floral accord leads: jasmine, rose and frangipani form a dense bouquet. Mirabelle plum pulls it towards a fruity, sweet tone, while sandalwood adds a woody, powdery base. Spicy, oriental and slightly animal touches give the whole a warm, heavy character. Krizia Spazio Krizia Donna and Guerlain Attrape Cœur have a close profile.
