About Byzance
Rochas is best known for Byzance from 1987, one of the most successful oriental florals of the decade, built on rose, iris, and warm amber, still in production and sold as an accessible alternative to the great Paris luxury houses. Byzance remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on rose, iris, jasmine, amber, sandalwood, vanilla. It sits well in the designer tier, delivering projection and longevity that compare favorably with other fragrances at the same Sephora and department store price range.
Tocade takes the line in a different direction. It appeals to buyers who want something from Rochas that reads differently from the signature. Madame Rochas rounds out the catalog with a third option covering men and women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
