Alberto MorillasNicolas Mamounas

"Byzance is a richly styled women's Eau de Toilette launched in 1987. Its character is baroque and expressive, combining a spicy, aldehydic opening with an elaborate floral heart. Tuberose, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily-of-the-valley create a strongly floral middle phase, while anise and orris root add distinctive aromatic and powdery nuances. The drydown is warm and enveloping, built around amber, vanilla, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, and cedar. Rather than presenting a light or transparent floral profile, Byzance develops as a sensual oriental-style fragrance with considerable depth. The 1987 composition is distinct from the later Byzance release introduced in 2019."

Reviews Summary

“The 1987 Eau de Toilette is characterized as baroque, complex, floral-spicy, and oriental in style. It opens with pronounced spices and develops into a warm, enveloping floral fragrance with a heated musk and sandalwood base. The overall impression is sensual, opulent, and better suited to evening wear and cooler weather than casual daytime use.”
