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 one is a divisive but captivating beast. Part vintage powder room, part modern spice bomb, it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sillage and compliments from those who get it. Not for the faint of heart or the subtle.
