       Well, that will be all!!!

Now, after my Contest / Challenge fully explained presentation, let me lead the way!

So my presentation today is: 

BYZANCE of ROCHAS launched in 1987! This perfume was an Homage of  the Rochas house to the Byzantine Empire!!! So the colors of the perfume symbolize the Empire since are the colors, the Byzantine Emperors were wearing; The Gold, the Ruby and the Royal Blue!!!

So this is a perfume that I first smelled on my Godmother Sofia and since then I fell in love with it 💗 💗 💗!!! 

She would always wear it when she was visiting me, so when I would hug her, I was being bathed in a cloud of DIVINITY!!!!! 

Byzance is considered an Oriental Spicy fragrance and is strictly for women, eventhough I know a few men that have worn it! It was created by Nicolas Mamounas and Alberto Morillas. Two of the greatest "Perfume Noses" of our times!

• Top notes are aldehydes, spices, carnation, green notes, mandarin orange, basil, lemon and cardamom;
• Middle notes are tuberose, orris root, jasmine, turkish rose, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley and anise;  
• Base notes are sandalwood, amber, musk, vanilla, heliotrope and cedar.  

Byzance it's a rare Vintage type of perfume that has a great longevity, it lasts all day and has a great sillage. You have people at the other end of the room smelling you but in the most sophisticated and non-offensive way!! 

I remember many times when wearing it, I had both women and men, asking me what perfume I wear 😀!!!

My bottle of Byzance in my photos, is a 200 ml limited edition that I received as I gift, by Rochas House 😉 !!! 

Bear in mind you can no longer get this perfume, since it has been discontinued. But so many devotees asked for its comeback; So the company came with a reformulated version of it. It no longer carries this Classy, Majestic bottle though, it looks like this..... 

and smells more simple, linear and quite soapy with a powdery finish which I love!!! 

It's one of the VERY FEW reformulations that stay true to the original Vintage feel but just with a small.....twist😉 !!!

So that was my entry for you to get an idea!!!

Just give the best you've got 😘 😘 😘 ; Hey it's just fun at the end of the day, right? 

I will pick the BEST, MOST GRACEFUL and INTRIGUING reviews!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL  💙  💙  💙

Until next time,stay tuned and keep shining my beautiful people 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗
