Versace Blonde does not whisper. It commands attention immediately. Crafted in 1995 by perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer, this powerhouse white floral fragrance centers on an unapologetic explosion of buttery tuberose and humid gardenia. A bright flash of neroli and crisp bergamot cuts through the opening seconds before dense, honeyed floral petals take over. Yellow narcissus and carnation add a sharp, peppery bite across the mid development. As the flowers settle on warm skin, a rich base of civet, warm benzoin resin, and musk reveals an intoxicating animalic warmth. Wear this during cold winter evenings or dramatic formal nights out when you want an unmistakable, vintage floral signature.

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.
