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.

Barbour Origins For Her starts with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and grapefruit, tempered immediately by a sharp dash of pink pepper. As it rests on the skin, the initial sharpness yields to a soft floral heart of freesia and jasmine, ground by a distinct, earthy touch of nutmeg. The dry down is decidedly woody and mossy, leaving a trail of vetiver and patchouli that feels grounded and slightly green. It suits a cool autumn afternoon or a casual outdoor weekend, offering a rustic feel that is distinct from typical sweet mall perfumes. We suggest buying a bottle if you love dry, woody florals, though a sample is wise if you prefer modern sugary scents.

Tarantella opens with a bright, bitter splash of galbanum and soapy aldehydes, a sharp nod to classic mid-century green perfumery. The initial crispness settles quickly into a dry, aromatic heart where bay leaf and clove temper the sweetness of frangipani and honey. As it warms on the skin, a robust base of earthy oak moss and dry leather emerges, steering the composition away from modern sugary trends. This is a dry, mossy woody chypre built for cool spring mornings or formal autumn daytime wear. It suits collectors who appreciate structure and vintage green textures rather than soft vanillas. A bottle is worth seeking out if you miss the bitter, resinous bite of classic green florals, though a sample is wise due to its sharp herbal edge.
