Byzantine

Byzantine by Rochas, launched in 1995, is an Oriental fragrance that opens with a remarkably dense bouquet: mimosa, carnation, heliotrope, freesia, orange blossom, neroli, sandalwood, lily-of-the-valley, bergamot, and cedar all appear in the top accord. This unusual concentration of florals and woods creates a lush, immediate impression—powdery heliotrope and spicy carnation are particularly prominent, softened by citrus and green nuances. The composition is listed without heart or base notes, but the main accords tell the story: a fully floral profile (100%) with strong powdery (80%) and white floral (70%) facets, plus yellow floral, citrus, and warm spicy undertones. Collectors who appreciate vintage Orientals with a pronounced powdery character will find much to admire here. It suits those who enjoy complex, old-school florals that feel both opulent and restrained—ideal for evening wear or special occasions, and a fascinating snapshot of mid-90s perfumery.
