Jungle Gardenia

The original Jungle Gardenia by Tuvaché is long discontinued, but several other companies have since released their versions, including Germaine Monteil, Yardley, Jovan/Coty, Irma Shorell, and Evyan. However, these reformulations are said to fall short of the original.

The perfume has been described as "carnal," "erotic," and "satisfying," with its tropical wet gardenia and bubble-gum sweet tuberose notes. It is a dense and delightful fragrance, making it a fun and gorgeous scent to wear.

Bal A Versailles and Tom Ford's Black Orchid

Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez is a perfume for women that was launched in 1962. It has a strong, musky, and animalic scent with notes of civet, amber, and resins. It is a complex and opulent fragrance with a long-lasting effect.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid is a unisex fragrance that was launched in 2006. It has a strong, sweet, and spicy scent with notes of black truffle, black orchid, and vanilla. It is a luxurious and sensual fragrance with a long-lasting effect.

Both fragrances are complex and opulent, with strong, musky, and sweet notes. However, Bal à Versailles is more animalic and resinous, while Black Orchid is more floral and fruity.

Michael Jackson's signature perfumes

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, is known for his unparalleled talent and unforgettable performances. While his music and style continue to influence generations, not many know about his lesser-known venture into the world of fragrances.

Michael Jackson launched two perfumes in 1989: Légende de Michael Jackson and Mystique de Michael Jackson. While these fragrances seem to be less known, Jackson also had a favourite perfume that he wore constantly. Bal A Versailles, or BAV, was introduced to him by his makeup artist, and he loved it so much that he would buy it in all sizes. He would even "put the little expensive one in his pocket sometimes, annoying his housekeeper who would find them in the wash." The perfume had a musky, woody, and fruity scent, which Jackson believed was meant to be unisex.

Jackson also loved the picture of the little women on the front of the Bal A Versailles bottle. His dancers could smell it on him before he even walked into the room, and Kenny Ortega could recognize the scent without even seeing him. Black Orchid was another favourite perfume of the singer.
