Byblos Essence ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 13 December 2008 10 Comments

Byblos Essence fragranceByblos has launched Byblos Essence, a new perfume for women. The tag line: "be in rapture".

The Byblos Essence fragrance is itself an expression of sophisticated simplicity and of embracing sensations. It is a fragrance of contrasts, merging citrus notes to ozone and marine notes and balsamic woody notes.

Byblos Essence is a floriental, and was developed by perfumer Christine Nagel. The notes include bergamot, neroli, mandarin, freesia, marine accord, jasmine, geranium, pink aloe, musk, cedar, teak wood and vanilla.

Byblos Essence is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum; the larger size is available now at Nordstrom. (quote via nordstrom, additional information via accademiadelprofumo.it)

    The bottle looks like EL Sensuous' second cousin…

    I like the bottle and the writing on the bottle but I may never want to sniff. Marine and ozone, hmph.

    When are we men going to get a Byblos frag?

    The wait is painful!

    I love the brand, the clothes (I cannot afford them, but I copy many looks from their shows) and I loved the Terra, Mare, etc they did in the 90's.

    The original Byblos for men is a bit too old fashioned for my taste (as in 80's powerhouse-strong) and I guess is either very hard to get or totally discontinued. I will keep waiting… for now hehehe.

    Sorry!!!

    Gracious, no need to apologize — I forgot all about the new Byblos men.

    It's ozonic so I'm not going to like it — more for you 😉
