Bijan Men (Eau de Toilette)

Bijan · 1981

Citrus · Green · Spicy

Eau de Toilette

Bijan Men Eau de Toilette is a classic, clearly masculine scent in which citrus meets a green, spicy, woody base. Most voters recommend it for fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It gets its strongest votes for evenings and nights out, and it also finds a place for leisure and daily wear. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and the character votes lean toward masculine and classic. Citrus notes give it a lively start, while sandalwood and patchouli build a woody, earthy body underneath. Amber and musk soften that body and give it a warm footing. The accords also carry chypre, fougère, smoky and leathery shades.

Eau de Toilette

Bijan Women Eau de Toilette opens on ylang-ylang, narcissus and orange blossom, moves through Bulgarian rose and Persian jasmine, and dries down on patchouli and sandalwood as a floral-oriental scent. The opening is floral and sweet, built on ylang-ylang, narcissus and orange blossom. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, lily of the valley and Persian jasmine come forward; the base of patchouli, sandalwood and Moroccan oakmoss settles into a woody, powdery ground. Fruity and spicy touches and a resinous warmth give it a classic oriental line. Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. About half of voters find it feminine, and many call it classic. Lorenzo Villoresi Alamut and Estēe Lauder Spellbound have a close profile.
