Byzance
Byzance by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, milk and pink pepper, moves into cashmeran and orris butter and dries down to oakmoss, suede and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
