About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Rochas Byzance (1987) is an Oriental Spicy composition that opens with aldehydes, spices, and carnation—a bright, clove-tinged spark that quickly gives way to a lush heart. The middle is a grand bouquet: tuberose, ylang-ylang, Turkish rose, jasmine, orris root, anise, and lily-of-the-valley, creating a dense, white-floral core with a powdery, anisic edge. In the base, sandalwood, heliotrope, amber, musk, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli anchor the scent in warmth and depth, leaving a soft, resinous trail.
This is a collector's fragrance for those who appreciate bold, opulent 1980s orientals. It suits wearers who enjoy spicy, floral, and powdery accords—especially in cool weather or evening settings. The aldehydic top and rich heart demand a certain confidence, but the drydown is comforting and enveloping. If you love classic powerhouse perfumes with a vintage soul, Byzance is a worthy addition to your rotation.

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
