By the editors · 2 min readByzance opens with a quiet tartness — pink pepper sharpening a black currant note, the way fruit reads when it is still slightly underripe. It sets a tone of restraint rather than welcome.
The heart goes powdery and soft. Cashmeran lays a creamy woody warmth under the iris, and a thread of cedar keeps the powder from turning sweet. There is something cashmere-like about the texture, dim and brushed.
Madagascar vanilla and suede in the base do the closing, with moss adding a faint chypre coolness underneath. Byzance is more dusk than gourmand — a beige-toned scent that hovers close to skin and rewards listeners over an audience.
