Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Byzance EDP
Byzance is a legendary '80s powerhouse, a spicy white floral that evokes undeniable glamour. It's a grand, opulent statement from a bygone era that still turns heads, though its bold character isn't for everyone. Prepare for compliments or confused stares.

Our Verdict - CC28 Clive Christian No. 1 EDP
CC28 gives a fair impression of No. 1's spiced-citrus opening and woody-amber depth, but inevitably loses the ultra-rich, densely-blended luxury the original is famous for, settling for a simpler, more linear woody floral.
