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.
This is a sophisticated, complex chypre floral with a divisive aldehydic opening. It screams 'mature woman' so perhaps not for everyone, but if you appreciate classic elegance with a spicy, bitter edge, this vintage gem is a winner.

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
