Byzantine by Rochas was launched in 1995 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. This Oriental fragrance for women is a harmonious blend of floral, powdery, and spicy notes that evoke an air of lasting elegance. The composition opens with a bright citrus burst before giving way to a heart of white and yellow florals, which are grounded by warm spices and woody undertones. Byzantine was designed to be both refined and comforting, offering a sense of sophistication that transcends the passing fads of fragrance.

Application Tips
Byzantine is best applied sparingly at first; its powdery base notes will develop richness over time. A light spritz on pulse points allows the warm spicy elements to unfold gradually throughout the day, making it ideal for evening wear.
