Byzance by Rochas Perfume for Women This ultra-feminine fragrance launched by Rochas in 1987 and whose name evokes Byzantium-the fabled city built by the Greeks- is a true Middle Eastern mélange of aromas and sensations. A light and luminous scent composed of eastern and western flowers and fruits, with top notes of Mediterranean mandarin, cardamom, a heart of Turkish rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, and the woody-ambary bottom note of sandalwood, musk and vanilla. The bottle is a spectacular deep electric blue with a bold gold label and a blue glass dome.
