Byzance by Rochas was launched in 1987 and created by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Nicolas Mamounas. This fragrance is a warm spicy oriental with an aldehydic opening that gives way to a heart of tuberose, jasmine, and Turkish rose, anchored by woody and powdery base notes. The composition is complex, blending the brightness of citrus and green notes with the warmth of spices and floral heart, creating a rich blend of scents. Byzance captures the essence of an opulent era, where the scent of incense mingles with the delicate fragrance of flowers.

Application Tips
Apply Byzance to pulse points for maximum longevity. The aldehydic opening notes are bright but fleeting, so allow time for the rich floral and woody base to develop on your skin. Best worn in the evening when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
