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.

About

Byzantine opens with a bright, almost honeyed burst of mimosa and orange blossom, lifted by a touch of bergamot. As it settles, a powdery heart of heliotrope and delicate lily of the valley emerges, softened by the subtle spice of carnation. The base grounds the florals with creamy sandalwood and a hint of cedar, creating a refined, comforting aura that feels both classic and effortlessly chic.
