I bought this when it was introduced and LOVED it. It has become one of my favorite perfumes. It's not over powering, I feel surrounded by pleasant scents.

fotolux's description of this scent is spot on. I particularly loved the part that said "But a musk exposes all sensuality of womanish nature, and vetiver reports that you are woman which independent enough. Nice perfume of the end of that epoch,when a woman yet was a woman and felt free it."

Abso-bloody-lutely, my friend! Couldn't have said it better myself!

In spite of all the blah-blah-blah about liberation, women these days are tyring harder than ever. Don't ask me what they're tyring so hard. It's just there.

I'm glad I'm not young anymore.

Fotolux, you rock!

Interesting fragrance. For me it's a bitter floral with some sweetness,I don't get any fruit, it's hard to pick a specific note. What I do feel is an over all air of roses, possibly green ones, not your average bouquet of freshly cut. I doubt it will ever be a favorite of mine but Byblos is intriguing all the same.

Just got my new bottle today. This perfume is for day wear , fruity with out being overpowering like some scents.I used this many years ago and loved it. I work in a hospital and this fragrance is not offensive at all.

I think this is a very distinctive fragrance. I can pick it out in a crowd right away. I named it on a coworker the first time she wore it even though I hadn't smelled it in at least 10 years (I used to wear it in the late 90's).

It's fresh and a bit sassy. Sweet and tart, but not sugary. I can smell the grapefruit opening, which is quickly joined with honeysuckle and rose. I think of it as a fresh and bright scent, it was always a little strong on me, but it lasted a long while.

How is it possible not to love Byblos? It is smooth, tart and a bit enigmatic. It`s green and warm simultaneously. Begins - as a small basket with fruits. Bitterish and fresh acerbity of bergamot is interlaced with sweet freshness of juicy mandarin. It`s so cheerful. The summer smell of blackberry is added from childhood. A scent gets warm because of smell of juicy peach and as though prepares us to transformations. Gradually fruits turn pale, depart on the second plan, become a background for a huge flower bouquet. And he indeed ... fantastic. A fluffy yellow fresh mimosa and tender lilies of the valley with soft powdery note of hiris and a little bit of white lilies which gives warmth and implication to the scent. But the most wonderful in Byblos it is beautiful sillage. Warm generosity of raspberry as though returns us to the prelude of scent. The tender almond milkness of heliotrope tries to prove femininity of this scent. But a musk exposes all sensuality of womanish nature, and vetiver reports that you are woman which independent enough. Nice perfume of end of that epoch,when a woman yet was a woman and felt free it.

I DID buy a 100mL bottle of this at a perfume store for $9.99 USD and can't believe how good I feel about it! :) I was looking for a summer floral and found it in this...the combination of peach, grapefruit, and mimosa make it fresh and distinctive in a world of super sweet fruity florals. I can't detect lily of the valley or any musk in the base. Lasted 4 to 5 hours, not bad for $10!!!

i almost bought a bottle of this today because it was on sale for ten dollars at a perfume store. the bottle looks nice and it smells okay but is not memorable. try it out before taking the leap to buy it off the internet. you may love it, you may hate it. :)

For years, this has been my Christmas scent, though I know people wear it as a summer scent more often. Mandarin is the tangerine in the stocking, spice is cider, the cool notes represent the weather. I can see this being masculine on someone who wears florals better, but I don't wear traditional florals all that well. This requires attitude, but if you have the right one, it's bright and cheerful.

one of the first frags I had. love the top notes so much. unfortunately, the base notes were so masculine people asked why i stole my bf's perfume instead of wearing my own :-)

It's an ok fragrance, I like the bottle design better than the smell.
