Byblos Byblos is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1990, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Byblos opens with Marigold, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Pepper, and Raspberry. Byblos's Byblos carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Byblos is a divisive 90s powerhouse that refuses to be ignored. Some find it a timeless, fruity-aquatic masterpiece; others, a screechy, dated mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that sparks serious nostalgia and strong opinions.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Also Works:
Office Sport

Often described as a 'fresh aquatic' with good longevity and sillage, Byblos is versatile enough for casual wear and dates. While some find it office-safe, its potent 90s character and fruit-forward profile might be too much for formal settings.

About

Imagine diving into a vibrant fruit cocktail, bursting with pineapple and blackcurrant, then surfacing amidst a bouquet of powdery iris and dewy lilies. This complex scent marries juicy fruits with a rich, white floral heart, grounded by a subtle musk and a hint of peppery vetiver. It's a kaleidoscopic journey from bright zest to a soft, lingering warmth, with an aquatic undertone that keeps it fresh.
