Zaharoff Signature BYZĀĀN
Extrait De Parfum | Pure Luxury Niche Scent
DESCRIPTION
BYZĀĀN is an artisanal fragrance that combines the elegance of Art Deco design with luxurious, globally-sourced ingredients using the cult classic Zaharoff Pour Femme from 1994 as inspiration! This is a not a replica of the original; ingredients used in the 1990s are no longer available due to IFRA constraints.
Zaharoff Signature BYZÃÃN, where each note tells a story of elegance, heritage, and new beginnings. Inspired by the remarkable journey of the Zaharoff family, who fled the Russian royal court in the late 1800s for the vibrant city of Constantinople, this fragrance embodies the essence of a new chapter in their lineage.
It also pays homage to the original Zaharoff Pour Femme, but not a replica; the original was a beloved scent launched in the 1990s, captivating hearts before it was taken off the market in 2001. BYZÃÃN symbolises a beautiful full circle, celebrating both legacy and revival.
Zaharoff Signature BYZÃÃN opens with a vibrant and juicy burst of clementine from Algeria, harmoniously blended with the crispness of Anjou pear from the picturesque Anjou region of France, alongside the luscious sweetness of peach and pineapple. This refreshing top layer invites you to embrace the beauty of life’s simple pleasures.
As the fragrance unfolds, a heart of floral sophistication emerges. The enchanting essence of Turkish rose dances gracefully with delicate peony and the ethereal beauty of iris. The rich, velvety notes of rose centifolia absolute from Morocco and the playful sweetness of candy floss create a captivating bouquet that delights the senses, evoking memories of sun-kissed gardens in full bloom.
In the base, a warm and comforting embrace awaits. The grounding aroma of Ethiopian sandalwood mingles with the creamy richness of sustainable bourbon vanilla, creating a base that is both inviting and sophisticated. Accents of musk, Indonesian patchouli, and earthy moss blend seamlessly with the warmth of amber, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long after the first encounter.
Zaharoff Signature BYZÃÃN is more than just a fragrance; it’s an experience that reflects the essence of timeless elegance and modern sophistication, intertwined with a legacy that celebrates resilience, renewal, and the beauty of the past. This signature scent transcends seasons and occasions, inviting you to express your unique identity and partake in a journey that has come full circle.
This is timeless empowerment across eras, regardless of age. A modern individual (man or woman) can channel the strength and mystique of bygone worlds, while still thriving in today's world.

Performance

How Vétiver Obscur was composed
The brief was a single word — graphite. Our perfumer worked from a Haitian vetiver harvested in the Les Cayes plain, where volcanic soil yields an oil that is earthier and less green than its Javanese counterpart.
The formula is macerated for six weeks and cold-filtered before filling. Each flacon is numbered by batch on the underside of the base.
