Another Rochas miracle
A few times I have been so lucky to meet a fragrance that really gets to me - in a good way. I remember meeting Rive Gauche a long time ago, giving me the feeling that this was designed just for me. I still get that feeling whenever I spray it on. It can make darkness go away, a hard task seem easy and clothes fit better. Rive Gauche is a miracle in a bottle… I almost felt the same when I sprayed Byzantine…
I am a great fan of House Rochas, almost as much as I am of House Guerlain. They never seem to disappoint me, when it comes to engaging with their different fragrances. So it was with excitement that I finally got to meet Byzantine. Would I love it as much as I love Byzance?
Flowers, flowers and then some more… this scent is absolutely marvellous. It makes me happy. I start smiling when I spray it on. Alberto Morillas is the nose behind so many beautiful and succesful fragrances and this is not an exception.
On my skin it starts out with the mix of freesia, orange blossom and lily of the valley. So beautiful! It has a long life on my skin, thankfully, and I can keep on sniffing for more than 6 hours. The scent comes in delightful waves, and every wave introduces a different flower. At some point it changes slightly, becoming more woody and quieter, but it keeps that magic touch all the way, which on my skin is 7-8 hours. Quite impressive. Sillage is close to my skin and if I did have a bottle of this, I would wear it often and everywhere.
Again I have to ask the question: But why? Why is this discontinued?! In this case it is a crime and there should be a law against it.
