Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget take on the original 1987 Rochas Byzance. Opulence captures the aldehydic-powdery white-floral signature, but the dupe pushes the big tuberose-and-ylang heart louder while the elegant, powdery amber-vanilla base that gave Byzance its mature, refined finish reads flatter and fades sooner.
