Ormonde Jayne Byzance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Céline Ripert. Byzance opens with Milk, Redcurrant Leaf, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Woody, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Resin, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Ormonde Jayne's Byzance carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This woody lactonic wonder is a divisive one. Some find Byzance a comforting, unique cashmere hug, while others are left cold by its milky sweetness or frustrated by weak performance. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:

Byzance is best suited for casual and date settings due to its comforting, skin-scent nature and moderate projection. Its intimate vibe makes it less ideal for formal events or sports, and while it's generally inoffensive for the office, its sweetness might be too much for some.

About

Byzance opens with a tart, juicy redcurrant leaf and a spark of pink pepper, quickly blending into a creamy, milky heart. Iris lends a soft, powdery veil over rich cashmere woods. The drydown settles into a comforting base of velvety suede, warm resins, earthy oakmoss, and a gentle touch of vanilla, creating a uniquely comforting and luxurious skin scent.
