Bijan

by Peter Bohm

Bijan Bijan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1986, created by Peter Bohm. Bijan opens with Basil, Orange Blossom, Neroli, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk. Bijan's Bijan carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Bijan is a divisive, full-bodied 80s classic that inspires fervent adoration among its fans, blending honeyed warmth with unapologetic florals. It's a statement, not a whisper - you'll either love its golden glow or find it a bit much.

Its powerful silage and rich floral-amber profile make it less suitable for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates and evening events. While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its intensity leans towards special occasions, particularly in cooler weather.

About

Bijan bursts forth with a boisterous bouquet of orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and narcissus, quickly softened by a rich, golden honeyed embrace. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of carnation and jasmine unfolds over a deeply sensual base. Creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and warm amber mingle with hints of vanilla and musk, creating a luxurious and enduring silage that wraps you in a comforting, opulent aura once the initial floral intensity mellows.
