Byzance Gold

At first I got a very strong dark unsweetened blackcurrant and patchouli smell, strangely smelling almost like dirty, rotting grapes. I almost became disappointed but then gradually tonka bean and rose started to emerge, patchouli toned down a lot and the blackcurrant scent became sweater and warmer, although still somewhat dark, very addictive, I have enjoyed throughout the day. Long lasting with moderate projection. It gives Barenia type of perfume vibe, a very good quality, addictive fruichouli.

Love it but I agree that this should have been in the blue bottle, being a sensual rose fruitchouli. It's juicy and fresh, while the original Byzance is kinda spicy, rich and dense. I really love black currant scents, so Byzance Gold is easy for me!

I love this fragrance. I love all its ingredients and most of all it is long lasting on my skin it lasts all day. It's different from all my sweet vanilla and sugar scents, which have started to become stale to me.

I don’t think it smells like Chloe but definitely same vibe same family. I love it

I blind bought this and I’d never seen it for sale anywhere before. First sniff of the nozzle: not sure I like it. It’s teetering off the end of the eighties. Spray it on anyway: mmmm maybe I do like this It smells like something a Narciso was based off Then it doesn’t. It cycles fast from a touch of civet, sweet, floral, musk feminine into something more masculine but not full on manly man fragrance via Roos and Roos Mia Mentha Religiosa while maintaining a background of something from Aramis New West for women, and it it feels like I’ve had my head snapped back by a rollercoaster going through a tunnel of all the nineties perfumes in small groups of notes. I haven’t really been this baffled by a fragrance in a long time, but it’s a ride! I like it! It’s fun, you can keep sniffing it and something else pops to the surface. Which I would say is a rarity these days. Try it if you like: slow films, books that are more about character than plot, hand drawn comics, the nineties
