Byblos (1990) (Eau de Parfum)

The top is led by mandarin orange, pineapple, peach and grapefruit, with bergamot and blackcurrant adding a tart edge to the fruit. In the heart, gardenia, iris, rose and ylang-ylang form a rounded floral core, and musk, vetiver and pepper settle the base into a green, lightly spicy finish. The overall impression is fresh, fruity and mildly sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and nights out the leading occasions. Most see it as feminine. Roméa d'Améor Les Grandes Amours du Taj Mahal and Charles Jourdan Individuelle have a close profile.
