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.

Instead, this classic Chanel perfume envelops the wearer in a dense, powdery cloud that feels tailored for formal winter evenings, black-tie dinners, and crisp autumn walks.
