What does Byzantine smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters find it feminine, and they lean towards spring and fall, evenings and nights out, though it also works for daytime.

The scent reads fresh and floral as a whole: bergamot and neroli brighten it, while orange blossom, mimosa, lily of the valley and carnation form a sweet, lightly spicy bouquet. Sandalwood and cedar add a woody, oriental warmth underneath. Karl Lagerfeld Sun Moon Stars and Boucheron Jaïpur have a close profile.
