Ormonde Jayne 2020 EDP
Byzance
Ormonde Jayne Byzance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Céline Ripert. Byzance opens with Milk, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Woody Notes, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Resins, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Ormonde Jayne's Byzance carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
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.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
