Byzance by Rochas: launched in 1987. It was created by Nicolas Mamounas and Alberto Morillas.
The perfumes name was inspired by the shadow of the mosaics of Ravenna.
Rochas budgeted FFr70m ($11.6m) for the European launch on October 15th of "Byzance"; it says it has already got its money back. The minimum budget for an American launch — ideally after the whiff of a European one — is $15m-20m.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a soft floral oriental fragrance for women. A heavy and opulent aroma. Byzance is a complicated scent of aldehydes, green notes and citrus combined with jasmine and tuberose nestled in base notes of sandalwood, musk and vanilla. The soft oriental notes are based on the sweet spices such as cinnamon, cloves, pepper and allspice.
Byzance was available in the following products:
It appears that this fragrance was reformulated in 2008 and many of the rose and jasmine notes are quite muted. Though I believe the fragrance was finally discontinued in 2012.
Byzance was reformulated and relaunched in 2017. It is classified as a spicy oriental fragrance for women.
