My favorite of the day-
Byzance by Rochas
Do be careful with this one- you may not notice because of the cobalt blue, nearly opaque bottle, but this fragrance is actually purple. It may stain clothing.
I broke a miniature bottle in my gym bag and stained some socks. But I'm almost glad I did because my bag has smelled delicious for weeks and the socks were a small sacrifice.
Warning aside, Byzance is a woody, heavy, gorgeous oriental with a little sparkle of citrus in the opening notes. It is also unusual enough that isn't something that everyone will recognize. You won't find this one at Wal-Mart or on anyone else at a party.
I also love Opium, another heavy, gorgeous oriental, but I don't like the fact that many people recognize it. I think some of the less commercially popular fragrances are great just because they're more mysterious. People can't immediately recognize them and don't already have other associations of people and events connected with them.
