Rochas Byzance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Alberto Morillas and Nicolas Mamounas. Byzance opens with Spicy, Green, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Anise, Rose, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Rochas's Byzance carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

About

An opulent, complex fragrance that opens with a vibrant, almost fizzy burst of aldehydes and warm spices like cardamom and basil, immediately setting a lavish tone. This quickly transitions into a rich, heady bouquet of white florals-tuberose and jasmine at the forefront-sweetened by rose and ylang-ylang, underscored by a subtle anise. The long dry-down settles into a comforting base of creamy sandalwood, musky amber, and sweet vanilla, with a whisper of heliotrope, maintaining its allure for hours.
