Byzance

Cardamom and basil snap against a bright citrus opening, immediately softening into a dense, powdery heart of orris root and Turkish rose. There is a distinct dryness here—a woody architecture of cedar and sandalwood that grounds the sweetness of heliotrope and vanilla. It settles on the skin with an aldehydic transparency that feels vintage yet composed. The tuberose and carnation provide a steady, floral pulse that lasts through the day, shifting from sharp, green top notes into a rich, amber-dusted finish that remains close and sophisticated.
