Bijan by Bijan is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Bijan was launched in 1986. The nose behind this fragrance is Peter Bohm. Top notes are Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom, Narcissus, Neroli, Bergamot and Basil; middle notes are Honey, Tuberose, Carnation, Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose, Orris Root and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Benzoin, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Heliotrope, Oakmoss, Cedar and Patchouli.

From the way people describe wearing it, this comes across best as ideal for cold winter nights; a lush oriental; soft amber vanilla drydown. The trade-off is that it may feel sweeter and heavier than some people expect; heavy and not for everyone; newer versions lack original vintage depth depending on taste and setting. Taken toge
