Burberry Society launched in 1991 as a lush chypre floral defined by sharp green hyacinth, fleshy tuberose, and peachy osmanthus over a dark mossy base. The opening bursts with crisp bergamot and bitter crushed stems before expanding into a sprawling floral heart of gardenia, ylang-ylang, mimosa, and orange flower. As the bouquet settles, earthy oakmoss, smoky incense, and resinous myrrh pull the composition into dry, shadowed territory with amber and cedar wood grounding the dry-down. It wears with the bold weight characteristic of early nineties British perfumery, making it well suited for cool autumn mornings, crisp spring afternoons, and formal indoor settings. Show less

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. It opens with Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom. The heart moves into Honey, Tuberose. In the dry-down, Benzoin, Sandalwood give it its base. 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.

As the aromatic blast settles, a soapy lavender and orange flower accord emerges, giving the perfume a clean, classic shaving-soap texture.
