    I've never smelled the original and apparently this version has been the victim of cost-cutting reformulation. Still, I think it's quite lovely: aldehydes and a bit of citrus up top, musky and a...

    I've tried the vintage and current versions--current version is missing some "oomph." It's lost some of that heady, nectar-sweet floral quality, and maybe some of the sandalwood. Still...

    This scent is fabulous! But, take note people IT'S A WINTER SCENT! Not Autumn, Spring or Summer. The cold air seems to freeze the musky scent and make it turn kind of sweet. On me this scent...

    Incense and aldehydic, slightly soapy carnation first on. Dries down to a lovely almost church incense, just touched with a note I have to call purple. It reminds me ever so slightly of Poison in...

    Byzance… well the name itself evokes luxury, silk, plum velvet & golden trimmings, lavish baths, people chilling out in such a lounge and “dolce far niente”…plus a little skankiness :o). I am...

    Seems to have undergone a reformulation, used to be really good, but has become rather nondescript. They seem to have taken away the expensive parts (roses, jasmin etc.).

    Loved it over 10 years ago, then it seemed too sweet. Now I try and love again! similar to Boucheron but less loud, mello wood helps it. fits well. My choice for big powdery Amber/vanilla scent.

    This is pretty nice fragrance! I find it being sweet and dry at the same time. I don´t know if you know what I mean by word "dry", but I wanna say it is something like being really very sweet...

    I swapped for a bottle of this unsniffed, based on the description (citrus, vanilla, musk, jasmine, and lily of the valley). Not being a lover of white flower notes, I was wary, but hopeful that...

    I wore this in the early 90's. I loved the scent, the cobalt blue bottle it comes in, the design. But now I am 10 years older and it's almost sickly sweet and too powdery on me. Oh well--it will...

    Okay, for me this is a very Eighties power-suited big-shoulder-pad-wearing fragrance - precisely because that is when and under which circumstances I first wore it. It was my "signature"...

    Byzance feels like an Odalisque, dressed in fine silks of vibrant colours, draped over a lounge. Just like those ones in a Henri Matisse painting. Opulent. Ravishing. Exquisite.<P>I am so glad I...

    A profusion of pungent, spicy orange blossom marks the opening of this EDT for me. Within thirty minutes a mature rose unfolds and envelops the orange, followed by an organized orgy of other...

    I wanted to like this, because I love jasmine and spices, and the cardamon note sounded intriguing. However, this scent did little for me. It just does not go well with my chemistry. I think if...
