In Black

If you enjoy Terre Hermes, Byblos Black is damn close with a slightly more peppery base. Terre has more of citrus/orange top note at first spray with more a woodsy vib. After this juice settles, if you did a sniff test you can tell the difference but it composition is very close Both pepper and cedar makes this juice ABOUSOTLEY SEXY! There's just a hint of grapefruit which helps to soften the spicy peppery blend. There's a smig of sweet/earthy vib of patchouli. The only note I'm not able to pick up is Neriol. Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting well past 8hrs when I spray it 2x on my skin. Finally, Out of all Byblos's fragrance, this one is BEAST. A sophisticated and confident juice, best during the fall and winter months. Well made fragrance..7.5/10 try it...you won't regret it. Two thumbs up

Byblos in Black Personal Review My Scoring criteria: Scent 40%, Longetivity 30%, Sillage: 20%, Value for Money: 10% Score: Scent: 90. The scent is very similar to the legendary Terre D'Hermes which is one of my favourite fragrance of all time. But Byblos in Black smells a little spicier at the top note (immediately after spray), after that it's a little hard to distinguish the two Longetivity: 88. It lasts 8-10 hrs on my skin. One of the most long-lasting frags i've ever used Sillage: 82. People nearby will notice the scent, but the radiation doesn't quite reach 6ft but it's very good Value For Money: 81. In my country, BiB is around 70% cheaper than Terre D'Hermes. Very good value for money for its sophisticated scent Overall Score: 87

I wasn't looking for any new perfume when I stumbled with this frag and decided to test it. One spray on my arm and I left. I then simply spent that day sniffing that arm. absolutely lovely fragrance. Classy in a loveable kinda way. lightly sweet and very powdery. I love it, i love it, i love it. and the price is good too!! wow, definitely gonna buy it this weekend when I go there again... edit: There something really addicting with this frag. I can't believe how it's captivated me. I have dozens of frags but this one is the only one that really makes me feel good no matter what is my mood. Edit 2: Is it discontinued? I finished my bottle and I can't seem to find it anywhere :(

A surprisingly good and well blended alternative to Terre d’Hermes! For those who love TdH, this Byblos will be a smell from the heaven – or a blasphemy! I usually don’t like perfume copies – but Byblos in Black it’s not a pure and simple copy of TdH (even it is clear that you will have TdH in mind every time you’ll wear BiB). Thanks to the perfumer Flavigny, BiB is a perfume on his own merits, with more pepper and dried herbs than TdH – but IT IS NOT Terre d’Hermes. Good longevity and sillage “comme il faut”. Designed in Italy, made in San Marino. Plus a reasonable price. A deserved 8,3/10

Johnny Buoy and shogun are right on the money, this is very much like Terre D'Hermes (another cheapy that smells a bit like the Hermes is UDV Action). It is also a lot cheaper, I got 100ml for $15 on sale. It has been a while since I tried the T D'H and did not care too much for it, but I really like the Byblos, I think it is because there is not the strong orange in Byblos. On me this warm woody rich fragrance lasts a long time, though the sillage isn't great.
