This oriental fragrance for women, designed by Alberto Morillas, was presented in 1995. It seduces with a flamboyant cocktail of sweet and fresh bergamot notes and freesia, along with the spiced carnation, mimosa, orange blossom, neroli and lily-of-the-valley, warm, dark and powdery sandalwood, woody and balmy notes of cedar and caramel nuances of heliotrope flower. The bottle has the same shape as Byzance, colored in golden yellow with a gold medallion in the middle.

Soapy aldehydes give way to a waxy mimosa, with a soft oriental drydown. Marvelous!

...I wore it in 1997 at uni and I went to dinner with friends and a tourist turned from a table behind us and asked what fragrance I had on and I proudly stated the name, and she was impressed that such a young woman would have such expensive taste! But the look of pride on my then boyfriends face was the cherry on top......to be young and superficial!:-)

I think they discontinued this one. I liked the oriental, musky scent that gives the impression of an oriental bazaar in a Mediterranean city kind of effect... This perfume reminds Dune by Dior a bit and it definitely is a mature smell. Would smell better on bronze skin.

The name Byzantine conjures up something puzzling and labyrynth like, but the fragrance does none of those things and that is completely good.
This is listed as an oriental scent and I expected something spicy and powdery, but was pleasantly surprised to dind that the florals dominated the composition and that it was surpisingly sunny and bright and very appropriate for daytime wear. Sure, there's carnation and yes orange blossom can be dolorous and sweet, but when there's mimosa galore, muguet and citrus a scent tends to make my mood float in the air. Byzantine is such a scent. Maybe some will find a complicated maze in the accords and if I spent way too much time analysing, I might be able to look in every nook and cranny of the fragrance, but I can appreciate the overall scent immediately. Pretty!

I do not think it is available anymore - a pity - it was a good day time scent. I haven't been able to buy any since 2002
