I used to wear this fragrance a long time ago. It was my favorite. I haven’t worn it in a long time, and decided to buy a sample to see if it was still my favorite. I found it to be too “powdery” smelling , and didn’t care for it. It’s not the fault of TFS. I think my taste in fragrances has changed over the years. TFS still makes the best fragrances!

I used to "steal" drops of Val de Versailles from my roommate when we were young ladies. I loved the fragrance, but as life has it I started using another perfume. Recently a old girlfriend from my young days was visiting and we spoke about our dating days and the perfumes we used... Val de Versailles was one of these... I went and purchased this oil from your company and memories of my loves came flooding back. Thank you

I could never wear the original BAV because it gave me a headache. Not only is the TFS version better than the original, I can wear it without needing a tylenol chaser. Thank you, TFS, for allowing me to wear one of my long-time favorites again!

I know this fragrance well: it was the first perfume that my husband gave me. Sweet and slightly indolic, it is a beautiful warm fragrance, perfectly captured by The Fragrance Shop.
